What on Earth happened to the Phoenicians and Carthaginians of the ancient Middle East and North Africa? Today we're going to be looking at the ancient Phoenicians and what they've contributed to European, Middle Eastern and global society, as well as quickly touching up on the modern people of the Middle East and North Africa, and their possible connections to these very old, underrated historical nations.

Be sure to let me know your thoughts on the ancient Phoenicians and thanks for watching!
