  • Philistines(Phi.) were not Phoenicians(Pho.). Philistin names like Goliath are believed to be of indo-european origin. Phi. are associated with the "Sea-People" possibly greeks, celts, thracians, or a mix of all 3.

    Phoe. were Afro-Semitic. Phoe. influenced Greece perhaps, but Greeks received the Phoe. alphabet around 800 b.c.. Much older alphabets, summerian and babylonian, were already in use by the Hittites, indo-europeans that built an empire in Anatolya 4000 years ago(cca. 1800 b.c.)

  • The older "alphabets" that you're referring to are forms of writing, not alphabets. The alphabet is when you use a symbol to characterize a sound that is one part of a word. Whereas with Sumerian, Egyptian, and other older forms of writing, each symbol would represent a word, not a letter.

  • i will also say "house of odins: comment has some truth to it but is bias. Lightbulb anybody? What broght you to this video. Come on thin people think.

  • @UrsubUtu Wrong and wrong. Pheonicians are Phillistines. Your so close to getting the accurate picture but what is misleading you are terms like (indo-european,afro,semitic). You will never gain the accurate picture like this. Please contact me if you would like to know what really happened.

  • Perhaps the Mediterranean was influenced by the Phoenicians, but for the rest of Ancient Europe, like Gaul, Germania, Scandinavia, and Britain, absolutely not. The only contact between them was a few Punic traders in Gaul.

  • If they "helped build the temple of Solomon", you must be referring to Horem-eb, the vassal governor of Tyre ( titled "Milkilu" in Tyre) and the last pharaoh of 18th dynasty Egypt, who assisted Amenhotep III as temple builder, Scribe and Messenger. He built "Solomon's Temple"....in Luxor...because one exists in reality, the other, in Urusalim, in myth. Horem-eb the guy you call "Hiram Abif." Nebuchadresser (Akhentaon) laid siege to Tyre for 13 years: "Trojan War. Horem is Homer.

  • You accepted or not ,this is the truth and you cannot denied the history researches..
