The Carthaginians - The better Rome? | 4K Documentary

The Carthaginians built the ancient world's most powerful trading empire. As rivals of Rome and masters of the sea, they pioneered naval warfare, industrial shipbuilding, and long-distance exploration along the coasts of Africa and beyond. Their Phoenician ancestors gave humanity its first alphabet — the origin of every Western script in use today. Yet when Rome finally destroyed Carthage in 149 BC, one of history's greatest civilizations was erased almost overnight. Discover the forgotten empire that shaped the Mediterranean world long before Rome ever did. #documentary #carthage ---- Interesting links and sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History... https://www.britannica.com/place/Cart... ---- This channel offers you full episodes of high quality documentaries.
