  • Thank you for your work, Tony. The translations and the transcripts help. Your videos are also a great source of Phoenician vocabulary. I am wondering, how close is Arabic to Phoenician?

  • @TheAncientScribes Thank you for your comment! Phoenician is very close to Hebrew and Arabic. Probably more to Hebrew than Arabic. All are semitic languages as you know!

  • excellent work my friend Tony :) here we can hear the typical cyprus dialect , which is neither punic , closer to the classic phoenician but it shares punic characteristics , the name Reshep survived in a lebanese place "Rashaf" also in south israel as a place name "arsuf", the name Resheph had many different pronounciations Raship, Reship, Reshep, Rashup, Arshep, Arshup :) excellent work again :)

  • @Malkibaal Reshef in modern Hebrew is a sparkling flame, and a burning deadly wind. from the root 'Rashaf'' - ''to burn shooting out sparks''.

  • @MrViTopol Thank you for your comment. What do you think about Aurum Harutz for Gold? Am I right in claiming that the origin of the Latin word for Gold is Phoenician?

  • @ahhc07 yes you're right in claiming the Phoenician origin for (Aurum) Gold in the Phoenician ''Harutz'' , which Harutz is also used in poetic Hebrew for gold. the same goes for the ''Greek'' ''Ayen[os]'' - Wine. which originates in Hebrew (or/and Phoenician) ''Yayin''... add to the list the ''Ocean[us]'' which comes directly from the Hebrew or Phoenician ''Agan'' - Bassein , 'Cup', 'Pond' even today is used in Hebrew for the Mediterannian sea. 'Agan' in Phonician was pronounced as ''Ageen'':)

  • @ahhc07 the Greek word for Gold is Hris[os], the direct borowing from the Hebrew and Phoenician 'Harutz' the Romans either distorted the Harutz or their Aurum is from the Hebrew/Phonician ''Or'' - ''Light''. there're NO Greek/Latin/English /German'' words ! From the Germanic messenger god ''Baldr'' who is none other than the Hebrew ''Baldar'' - Currier, to the Kreml[in] (correct one is Krem'l) - 'Kerem El' - 'Sacred ground of El'. to Brazil, being named ''Barzel'' for its iron ore riches etc :).

  • @Malkibaal Thank you Malkibaal for your comments! Always very valuable!
