this video has a 90's aesthetic to it. I like that

The discovery of Tartessos has been one of the most important recent discoveries in Mediterranean archaeology, showing that the Tartessians were in many ways the equivalent of the Etruscans in Italy. So far they have only been known from a couple of obscure reference in Herodotos, but now archaeology is uncovering this remarkable civilisation, comparing Tartessos with the Etruscans. Both cultures are considered to be unknown mysteries, both languages are undicifered yet based on the Phoenician alphabet, AND both belonged to the same world's trade route of their Phoenician (Canaanites) partners: Tyre --> Tarsus --> Cartage --> Etruria --> Tartessos Tarshish is not just a name of one place, it is a nation, a greek sub-race of people, and all that proves that the people of Tarsus-anatolia, Etruscans of Italy & Corsica, and the Tartessians of south Spain, Gibraltar are in fact one people who gave their name to all 3 places: TARSHISH

It is literally Atlantis. It was flooded and buried beneath the mud flats of the coast as Plato said. It has copper mines, gold mines and silver mines STILL. The cities around it are the SAME names plato gave.

We're still here! Best Regards from Portugal! ❤🇵🇹

Based upon the work of Barry Cunliffe, it has been determined that Tartessian is a Celtic language with connections to Old Irish suggesting that it was a Q- Celtic language which used a Punic alphabet. This discovery lends credibility to the Irish myths which claim that their origin was Pre- Roman Spain.

Two questions. Was Tartessos inspiration for Atlantis (being outside the pillars of Heracles)? Was Gargoris inspiration for Oedipus?

Ahh, the legendary city of Tarter sauce.

Been trying to find a video about this! Thanks for helping me in a school project! Appreciate it!

Great video. Keep it up!

Other theories say that the Tartessos civilization predates Greek and Phoenician civilizations.

Tartessos believed in the punic pantheon and was heavily influenced by phonecians. The dama del baza is astarte and the other female statues that were uncovered are as well.

Great explanation, thanks!

Greetings from Acinipo (the suffix "-ipo" is common in Tartessian towns). Today Acinipo is an abandoned Town, more well-known by its well preserved Roman theatre and ruins. Acinipo can be visited and is close to the towns of Ronda and Setenil de las Bodegas. Thanks for making a video about my ancestors ❤

Wow amazing

"Tartar Sauce"

ThAnk you

Thank you

Hercules (Bronze Age) could not sack a Tartessos that did not exist yet. Tartessos is an Iron Age civilization, which somewhat replaced the Copper-Bronze Age ones of VNSP (Portugal, maybe also Tartessian in language) and Almeriense ones (Los Millares and El Argar, proto-Iberian). Hercules or whoever may have sacked these Bronze Age civilizations (and the Atlas and Hesperides variant legend strongly suggests it was in South Iberia) but not Tartessos. Also it was the Phocaeans who first told us (outside of a short mention in the Bible) of Tartessos, not Strabo.

The Tartessian (and related Iberian and Celtiberian) script was not really based on the Phoenician and Greek alphabets, even if some signs can be said to be mysteriously related. Some evidence suggests that the native semi-syllabary had already began evolving in the Chalcolithic, when (direct?, Malta-mediated?) relations with Cyprus and Syria were already ongoing (such as importing Syrian and not African ivory, for example). I suspect that the Iberian alphasyllabary owes to the Eteocypriot script rather (some suggestive similitudes do exist) but that it was mostly developed locally anyhow. Definitely the Iberian script was unable to discern D/T and G/K, which the Greeks and Phoenicians did differentiate and which are distinct sounds in modern Basque and appear also differentiated in the few instances in which Iberians wrote in Greek alphabet. The semi-syllabaric structure also does not relate in any way to the Greek and Phoenician scripts (alphabet and abjad respectively).

They were Celtiberians, they spoke a Celtic language. Their port city silted in, a common occurrence on that river system, the bay you showed does not even exist anymore, it is under tons of silt, it is now a delta. Some scholars also think the port city was destroyed by an earthquake and subsequent tsunami that happened around that time, not by its "enemies", ground penetrating radar shows what appears to be ruins under the delta.

The Greek and Phoenician colonies were formed to service the trade with the tin-bearing regions of Britain and Iberia. They had nothing to do with a supposed Bronze Age collapse, which never existed.

i wonder what happened to them? earthquake? settlement abandonment? they seemed to be very smart by the looks of their architecture..they even made very durable looking concrete pre roman times.

The Andalusian Kingdom of Tartessos is really marvellous! (Atlantis)

It's cool that you explored Tartessos connections in the middle east, but it's also important to note its connections inside Spain, particularly to the Silver road to the silver rich Gallaecians.^ EDIT: @7:15 nevermind :D

8:33 lmao

I totally understand why the tarttessians were so wealthy. Have you ever eaten fish sticks without tarttessos?

There was a sea at the gates of sevilla once?!

Tartessos & Etruia underrated civs

I've never heard of these guys

Tartarssos is great on fish

Completely random thought: the name of Tartessos sounds Anatolian (especially the -ss-). Is it possible there could be a connection?

There are various theories for the location of Tartessos. This is just one of them. It would have been good if you would have mentioned the controversy, in order not to present it as absolute truth.

All of King Solomon’s drinking vessels were of gold, and all the utensils of the Lebanon Forest House were of pure gold; silver counted for nothing in Solomon’s days. The king’s fleet traveled to Tarshish with Huram’s servants. Once every three years, the Tarshish fleet came in, bearing gold and silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks. Chronicles II 8:20

great great great work you did !! - vid kind of makes it seem like trade started around end of bronze age. at 4:15 you mention 'bronze age iberians' ; Dr. Mark Jobling DNA migration research shows migration started 7,000 bc (long time ago surprisingly) to British Isles from Near East (phoenicians) levant & asia minor by sea, and scythians by land and/or sea along mediterranean sea ; good short vid 'Where did the celts come from?" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gdeml7V_nM3Sh4U.html ; shows migration map and period So long ago points to phoenicians traveling by sea to british isles (britannia) for tin(to make bronze) and more. around 7,000 bc, the phoenicians had control of the mediterranean sea & trade to brit isles it seems; hence, bronze age iberians 2:41 had language similar to phoenicians. great you added Tartessian Prior connection with Phoncaea in Asia Minor. more recent migrations BCE, Declaration of Arbroath(1320) scottish nobles write to Pope XXII their lineage from scythia(doesn't mean they were scythians) "....our nation of Scots has been described in many publications -- that crossing from Greater Scythia, via the Tyrhennian Sea and the Pillars of Hercules, and living in Spain among the fiercest tribes for many years, it could be conquered by no one anywhere, no matter how barbarous the tribes. Afterwards, coming from there, one thousand two hundred years from the Israelite people's crossing of the Red Sea, to its home in the west, which it now holds, having first thrown out the Britons and completely destroyed the Picts, and even though it was often attacked by the Norse, the Danes and the English, it fought back with many victories and countless labours and it has held itself ever since, free from all slavery, as the historians of old testify." note: greek/latin words iberia and hibernia (brit isles) supposedly mean hebrew; hebrews before terms of 'israelites' or 'judiasm' ; also, iberia/hibernia could be from kingdom of iberia(Georgia) - scythians?

Were they indoeuropean or pre indoeuropeans?

oF course these Tartessians were best known for their trade in TartarSauce

I am "stuck"😢😢😢 "Tartary" "TARTARIA" and now "TARTESSOS" have crossed my palate and the flavor......wow I can "TASTE" CONNECTIVE TISSUE I sense PATTERN,...."PATTERN" conveys...(you may fill in from 'Here'😎) History has left us with "GAPS",... I prefer to name them "Hope" And "YOU" are bound to string them all TOGETHER like a STORY❤ "Destiny" reads like a love story but LIVES like a struggle😎 "FREE-Will" is merely YOUR 'interpretation'😎 Abd the TRUTH is that "YOU" are NOT the only being "Being YOU",..??others can "share" and moreover,....others COBTRIBUTE😎😎😎 "Welcome HOME 'CO-CREATOR'😁

Everything is done by hand. Lucky to eat every day. Even luckier make it through the night. No law or gummint. Many people die in Childbirth. Lucky to make it to thirty. The good ol days.

cadmus when back to main land and became king by hereditary rite , so behave !

Was Atlantis survivors

We are still not sure if tartness is was an actual city, no clear evidence exists yet, only vague written references by Greek historians

*B.C.

Haha malaka colony lol😂😂😂

If all the pre-Roman writings that refer or describe Tartessus are presented before a UNESCO tribunal, the court would state that Tartesos continues in the same place as 3000 years ago and that its name has barely changed, Tortosa.

Dude your videos are good but you desperately need to look how to pronounce things. You kept saying "gudelahivir" istead of "guadalquivir" (pronounced "wadalkibir"). In your video about indo european languages you kept saying "okeytan" instead of "occitan" (ox-si-tan). It really throws the whole video off.

That`s what Sponge Bob yells...TARTER SAUCE!

תרשיש

Play at 1.5 speed. Thank me later.
