Lucani (ancient people)
The Lucani (Lucanians) were an Italic tribe living in Lucania, who spoke an Oscan language, a member of the Italic languages.
Language and writing
The Lucani spoke a variety of the Umbrian-Oscan language, like their neighbours, the Samnites, who had absorbed the Oscii in the 5th century BC. The few Oscan inscriptions and coins in the area that survive from the 4th or 3rd century BC use the Greek alphabet.
History
Around the middle of the 5th century BC, the Lucani moved south into Oenotria, driving the indigenous tribes, known to the Greeks as Oenotrians, Chones, and Lauternoi, into the mountainous interior.
The Lucanians were engaged in hostilities with the Greek colony of Taras/Tarentum, and with Alexander, king of Epirus, who was called in by the Tarentine people to their assistance, in 334 BC, thus providing a precedent for Epirote interference in the affairs of Magna Graecia. In 331, treacherous Lucanian exiles killed Alexander of Epirus.
In 298, Livy records, they made alliance with Rome, and Roman influence was extended by the colonies of Venusia (291), Paestum (Greek Posidonia, refounded in 273), and above all Roman Tarentum (refounded in 272). Subsequently, however, the Lucanians suffered by choosing the losing side in the various wars on the peninsula in which Rome took part. They were sometimes in alliance with Rome, but more frequently engaged in hostilities, during the Samnite wars.

Origin of Lusitanians: A Journey Through Ancient Portugal
The Lusitanians were an ancient Indo-European people who inhabited the region of modern-day Portugal during the Iron Age. They were one of several Celtic tribes living on the Iberian Peninsula. The Lusitanians are most notably remembered for their resistance against Roman conquest during the Roman Republic's expansion into the Iberian Peninsula in the 2nd century BCE. Led by charismatic leaders like Viriathus, the Lusitanians waged a series of guerrilla warfare campaigns against Roman forces, inflicting significant losses and delaying Roman control over the region. Despite their efforts, the Lusitanians were eventually subdued by the Romans, and their territory became part of the Roman province of Lusitania.

Curiosity about the Italian Regions (Le Regioni Italiane)
When did the Italian regions get their current names and where do they come from? In alphabetical order, here are the regions: #abruzzo , from aprutium, land of the Pretuzi, an Italic population of the area of Sabine origin. For others from the Latin abruptus (steep, steep). #basilicata also called Lucania by the people of the Lucanians, a people of Oscan origin. The name Basilicata instead derives from basileus, the name by which the king was called in the Eastern Roman Empire. In ancient times the region was part of the Byzantine Empire. One of the smallest regions! #calabria from the people of the Galabri or Galábrioi or Calabri, a people from Kosovo. For others it derives from the ancient Greek kalón-brion, a land where beauty arises. #campania from the people of Campani, an...

5 Creepy Unidentified People
A so-called “Albert Johnson” was responsible for a massive manhunt in Canada's Yukon territory in 1931. He was hunted down by dozens of Canadian authorities for 48 days until they finally caught him. The chase grabbed the media's attention because of the theatrics involved as the events unfolded. And it also turned out that Albert Johnson was not his real identity. In July 1931, a clean-shaven man with a seemingly Scandinavian accent arrived at Fort McPherson, the only community along the Peel River. The man ventured into the Mackenzie River area on his own. He then built a small cabin on the banks of the nearby Rat River. Nobody knew anything about him or what he was doing in such a remote location. On December 31, Canadian officers received allegations from neighboring trappers that ...

Welcome to Chapter 4 of the series! This 1st episode takes a look at the Carthaginian Empire's beginnings from the late 800s BCE as rulers of the West Mediterranean, until its inevitable clash with Rome in the 200s BCE.
Carthage was a settlement in modern Tunisia that later became a city-state and then an empire. Founded by the Phoenicians in the ninth century BC, it would survive until the Roman siege. At its height in the fourth century BC, Carthage was one of the largest metropolises in the world, and the centre of the Carthaginian Empire, a major power in the ancient world that dominated the western Mediterranean.
Carthage was settled around 814 BC by colonists from Tyre, a leading Phoenician city-state located in present day Lebanon. In the seventh century BC, following Phoenicia's conquest by the Neo-Assyrian Empire, Carthage became independent, gradually expanding its economic and political hegemony across the western Mediterranean. By 300 BC, through its vast patchwork of colonies, vassals, and satellite states, Carthage controlled the largest territory in the region, including the coast of northwest Africa, southern Iberia (Spain, Portugal, and Gibraltar) and the islands of Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica, Malta, and the Balearic archipelago.
Among the ancient world's largest and richest cities, Carthage's strategic location provided access to abundant fertile land and major maritime trade routes. Its extensive mercantile network reached as far as west Asia, west Africa and northern Europe, providing an array of commodities from all over the ancient world, in addition to lucrative exports of agricultural products and manufactured goods. This commercial empire was secured by one of the largest and most powerful navies in the ancient Mediterranean, and an army composed heavily of foreign mercenaries and auxiliaries, particularly Iberians, Balearics, Celtic Gauls, Sicilians, Italians, Greeks, Numidians and Libyans.
In spite of the cosmopolitan character of its empire, Carthage's culture and identity remained rooted in its Phoenician-Canaanite heritage, albeit a localised variety known as Punic. Like other Phoenician people, its society was urban, commercial, and oriented towards seafaring and trade; this is reflected in part by its more famous innovations, including serial production, uncolored glass, the threshing board, and the cothon harbor. Carthaginians were renowned for their commercial prowess, ambitious explorations, and unique system of government, which combined elements of democracy, oligarchy, and republicanism, including modern examples of checks and balances.
Welcome to our new MADE IN ANCIENT HISTORY series! This series is meant to be a deep dive into the Ancient and Classical periods all over the WORLD! This 4th Chapter is called Rise of Rome, and deals with how Rome, after they consolidated Italy, clashed with both Greece and Carthage, the 2 biggest Mediterranean powers.

Among the ancient world's largest and richest cities, Carthage's strategic location provided access to abundant fertile land and major maritime trade routes. Its extensive mercantile network reached as far as west Asia, west Africa and northern Europe, providing an array of commodities from all over the ancient world, in addition to lucrative exports of agricultural products and manufactured goods. This commercial empire was secured by one of the largest and most powerful navies in the ancient Mediterranean, and an army composed heavily of foreign mercenaries and auxiliaries, particularly Iberians, Balearics, Celtic Gauls, Sicilians, Italians, Greeks, Numidians and Libyans.
In spite of the cosmopolitan character of its empire, Carthage's culture and identity remained rooted in its Phoenician-Canaanite heritage, albeit a localised variety known as Punic. Like other Phoenician people, its society was urban, commercial, and oriented towards seafaring and trade; this is reflected in part by its more famous innovations, including serial production, uncolored glass, the threshing board, and the cothon harbor. Carthaginians were renowned for their commercial prowess, ambitious explorations, and unique system of government, which combined elements of democracy, oligarchy, and republicanism, including modern examples of checks and balances.

8 The cave of Altamira
Cave paintings are nothing new, literally they are thousands of years old. In 1879 a little eight-year-old girl was hiking with her father who was an amateur archaeologist. You'll never guess what they found! a cave entrance in the mountains of Spain that contains some drawings more than 35,000 years old. The unreal cave was then closed to the public due to people disrupting the conditions; however a replica was created for people to enjoy at the Deschutes Museum in Munich. Perhaps the most famous of the paintings found inside is the one of a bison it's pretty amazing to think that humanity has always been connected through art.
7 the tomb of philip ii of macedon
You know it's always cool to have kids that will do better than you right, but I don't think Philip II expected his son to be nicknamed Alexander the Great and lead an empire that spanned continents.
Even though Philip II is not as famous as his son if it wasn't for his unification of Greek states and plans to create an empire Alexander the Great might have just been known as Xander the mediocre. Philip II was also important enough to get assassinated ensuring that his story will never be forgotten. Where are we going with this a good question, in 1977 a Greek archaeologists discovered the hidden tomb of Philip ii
For many years his findings were hotly debated, who are we kidding? There are archaeologists that are still fighting about it. The debate has boiled down to this: was Philip ii buried in tomb 1 or tomb 2 when they finally decide on it I will be sure to update you.
6. Sanxingdui (san-shing-do-aye)
The Sanxingdui, as it is now known, is the name of the archeological site that was first discovered in 1929, when a farmer who was digging a well found a large stash of jade relics. For generations, archeologists tried to find the main source of the artifacts, but were unsuccessful until 1986.
As accidental discoveries go, this is a perfect example. Because, even after 50 years of research and excavation, it was construction workers who eventually found the main source of the relics.
The culture in the area had a completely different way of bronze making compared to the “traditional” ancient Chinese way. This means that there were multiple, independent cultures in ancient China. Findings like this challenge the official narrative that all Chinese Civilizations started from the Yellow River plains.
Some scholars considered the Bronze figures that were found, to be more fascinating than the Terracota Army in Xi’an because of the immense difference in artistic style, and the amazing level of detail they posses.
5. Paestum
This ancient Greek city was once known as Poseidonia, after the Greek god of the sea. By the way, you really don’t know how weird that name is to pronounce until you’ve tried it. Go ahead, lets see how well you do !
It was built right on the coast of the Tyrrhenian sea in Magna Graecia, which is now known as southern Italy. The city was conquered by the Lucanians and then by the Romans who gave the city its current name. Eventually it would be abandoned during the Early Middle Ages but rediscovered during the 18th centurY.
4. The Antikythera Mechanism
This artifact was discovered and retrieved from the sunken Antikythera wreck that is located just off of the Greek island with the same name.
The device has been dated to as far back as 205 BC and is often considered to be “the world’s first scientific calculator.” Well that's a stretch to be honest, but it WAS able to able to accurately measure the position of the sun, moon, and the planets.
And if you were a fan of the olympic games, the antikythera mechanism could also track their four year cycle.
The mechanism was very advanced for its time, and the technology behind it was somehow lost over the years. It took about 1400 years for other scientists to create similar machines. Which makes you wonder, what else have humans discovered and engineered,that is completely lost to us now?

A so-called “Albert Johnson” was responsible for a massive manhunt in Canada's Yukon territory in 1931. He was hunted down by dozens of Canadian authorities for 48 days until they finally caught him.
The chase grabbed the media's attention because of the theatrics involved as the events unfolded. And it also turned out that Albert Johnson was not his real identity.
In July 1931, a clean-shaven man with a seemingly Scandinavian accent arrived at Fort McPherson, the only community along the Peel River.
The man ventured into the Mackenzie River area on his own. He then built a small cabin on the banks of the nearby Rat River. Nobody knew anything about him or what he was doing in such a remote location.
On December 31, Canadian officers received allegations from neighboring trappers that Johnson was meddling with their traps.
Two Canadian Constables showed up at Johnson's cabin to question him. But he barely responded to their questions and barricaded his doors.
The Constables returned with a warrant to force their way in. Johnson responded by shooting at them. The officers then retreated to gather reinforcements.
After several days, a posse of men and dogs returned and used dynamite to put down Johnson's cabin. Johnson was still able to open fire, and after a 15-hour standoff in subzero temperatures, the group retreated.
News about the incident quickly made its way through global radio.
On January 14, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police arrived at the cabin and realized that Johnson was gone. They chased him for 150 miles in blizzard conditions.
Johnson eluded the police for days by using caribou tracks to disguise his own. When he was finally located, a second firefight broke out, and Johnson fatally wounded one officer before going back on the run.
The manhunt eventually added a plane and native Indians. After climbing over a 7,000 ft mountain peak, Johnson was finally spotted from the air and cornered in a shootout at Eagle River, Yukon, on February 17.
The fugitive managed to shoot another officer before he was taken down. Authorities found he was carrying $2,000 in American currency and gold.
In trying to identify him, forensic tests conducted in 2007 revealed that the man had an asymmetrical tailbone and one foot longer than the other. But DNA samples failed to return any matches.
Johnson had managed to travel over 90 miles from his cabin under extreme conditions. His escape and such an impressive survival feat raised many eyebrows.
But what was the man's real identity and his reason for fleeing in such an aggressive manner? The mystery has intrigued authorities for decades.

.I am in the town of Vallo della Lucania .in.southern italy...let me
show you the town piazza...the name means Valley of the Lucani....now Lucani refers to the
ancient people of Greek origin who lived here in the 5th century BC….they were a fierce warrior tribe
who had conquered the Oenotrians an even earlier greek people whom according to legend
arrived here at the beginning of the Iron Age , during the 11 century BC...interestingly, the Lucani
lived under a democratic constitution…...the town as we know it today dates from the 13 century
AD and in the 19th century, for a brief period of time, it was under French control as part of
Napoleon's empire
From here you can see the mythical Mount Gelbison on top of which is located a sacred shrine
commemorating an appearance of the virgin Mary….religious pilgrims have
been trekking up there for over a thousand years...but here is a fascinating fact, the shrine is
built on top of another shrine built to honor the ancient Greek goddess Hera built some time
In the 5th century BC to whom pilgrimages were also being made even back then...interestingly,
the goddess Hera, not unlike the Virgin Mary was portrayed as majestic and solemn
______________________________________________________________________
The food here has an incredible genuine and natural taste...a specialty which originated here is
Ciambrotta which is a delicious stew of a number of local fresh vegetables and sausages and
the regional wine and olive oil is considered by Buongustai as among the best in the world...today,
Vallo della Lucania, a city of about nine thousand people, is indeed a gem….beautiful, well
organized, clean, there is no poverty here, very little crime with state of the art trash collection
and free internet for its citizens...so much for the perils of socialism

The Lusitanians were an ancient Indo-European people who inhabited the region of modern-day Portugal during the Iron Age. They were one of several Celtic tribes living on the Iberian Peninsula. The Lusitanians are most notably remembered for their resistance against Roman conquest during the Roman Republic's expansion into the Iberian Peninsula in the 2nd century BCE. Led by charismatic leaders like Viriathus, the Lusitanians waged a series of guerrilla warfare campaigns against Roman forces, inflicting significant losses and delaying Roman control over the region. Despite their efforts, the Lusitanians were eventually subdued by the Romans, and their territory became part of the Roman province of Lusitania. The legacy of the Lusitanians lives on in Portuguese culture and history.

When did the Italian regions get their current names and where do they come from?
In alphabetical order, here are the regions:
#abruzzo , from aprutium, land of the Pretuzi, an Italic population of the area of Sabine origin.
For others from the Latin abruptus (steep, steep).
#basilicata also called Lucania by the people of the Lucanians, a people of Oscan origin. The name Basilicata instead derives from basileus, the name by which the king was called in the Eastern Roman Empire. In ancient times the region was part of the Byzantine Empire. One of the smallest regions!
#calabria from the people of the Galabri or Galábrioi or Calabri, a people from Kosovo. For others it derives from the ancient Greek kalón-brion, a land where beauty arises.
#campania from the people of Campani, an Italic people of Oscan origin. For others from campus, open field. One of the most "felix" regions!
#emiliaromagna . Emilia by the consul Marco Emilio Lepido of the gens Aemilia who had the street that bears his name built (via Emilia). Romagna from Romània, not the homonymous nation but intended as a Roman territory as opposed to the Lombard one.

Welcome to Chapter 4 of the series! This 1st episode takes a look at the Carthaginian Empire's beginnings from the late 800s BCE as rulers of the West Mediterranean, until its inevitable clash with Rome in the 200s BCE.
Carthage was a settlement in modern Tunisia that later became a city-state and then an empire. Founded by the Phoenicians in the ninth century BC, it would survive until the Roman siege. At its height in the fourth century BC, Carthage was one of the largest metropolises in the world, and the centre of the Carthaginian Empire, a major power in the ancient world that dominated the western Mediterranean.
Carthage was settled around 814 BC by colonists from Tyre, a leading Phoenician city-state located in present day Lebanon. In the seventh century BC, following Phoenicia's conquest by the Neo-Assyrian Empire, Carthage became independent, gradually expanding its economic and political hegemony across the western Mediterranean. By 300 BC, through its vast patchwork of colonies, vassals, and satellite states, Carthage controlled the largest territory in the region, including the coast of northwest Africa, southern Iberia (Spain, Portugal, and Gibraltar) and the islands of Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica, Malta, and the Balearic archipelago.
Among the ancient world's largest and richest cities, Carthage's strategic location provided access to abundant fertile land and major maritime trade routes. Its extensive mercantile network reached as far as west Asia, west Africa and northern Europe, providing an array of commodities from all over the ancient world, in addition to lucrative exports of agricultural products and manufactured goods. This commercial empire was secured by one of the largest and most powerful navies in the ancient Mediterranean, and an army composed heavily of foreign mercenaries and auxiliaries, particularly Iberians, Balearics, Celtic Gauls, Sicilians, Italians, Greeks, Numidians and Libyans.
In spite of the cosmopolitan character of its empire, Carthage's culture and identity remained rooted in its Phoenician-Canaanite heritage, albeit a localised variety known as Punic. Like other Phoenician people, its society was urban, commercial, and oriented towards seafaring and trade; this is reflected in part by its more famous innovations, including serial production, uncolored glass, the threshing board, and the cothon harbor. Carthaginians were renowned for their commercial prowess, ambitious explorations, and unique system of government, which combined elements of democracy, oligarchy, and republicanism, including modern examples of checks and balances.

From long forgotten abandoned cities to incredible lucky finds, these are some of the strangest ancient archeological discoveries that changed our perception of history and humanity ! Dive in :D
HEY YOU ! There are more awesome videos being made every week, like and subscribe to World Unearthed so you don't miss a beat !
8 The cave of Altamira
Cave paintings are nothing new, literally they are thousands of years old. In 1879 a little eight-year-old girl was hiking with her father who was an amateur archaeologist. You'll never guess what they found! a cave entrance in the mountains of Spain that contains some drawings more than 35,000 years old. The unreal cave was then closed to the public due to people disrupting the conditions; however a replica was created for people to enjoy at the Deschutes Museum in Munich. Perhaps the most famous of the paintings found inside is the one of a bison it's pretty amazing to think that humanity has always been connected through art.
7 the tomb of philip ii of macedon
You know it's always cool to have kids that will do better than you right, but I don't think Philip II expected his son to be nicknamed Alexander the Great and lead an empire that spanned continents.
Even though Philip II is not as famous as his son if it wasn't for his unification of Greek states and plans to create an empire Alexander the Great might have just been known as Xander the mediocre. Philip II was also important enough to get assassinated ensuring that his story will never be forgotten. Where are we going with this a good question, in 1977 a Greek archaeologists discovered the hidden tomb of Philip ii
For many years his findings were hotly debated, who are we kidding? There are archaeologists that are still fighting about it. The debate has boiled down to this: was Philip ii buried in tomb 1 or tomb 2 when they finally decide on it I will be sure to update you.
6. Sanxingdui (san-shing-do-aye)
The Sanxingdui, as it is now known, is the name of the archeological site that was first discovered in 1929, when a farmer who was digging a well found a large stash of jade relics. For generations, archeologists tried to find the main source of the artifacts, but were unsuccessful until 1986.
As accidental discoveries go, this is a perfect example. Because, even after 50 years of research and excavation, it was construction workers who eventually found the main source of the relics.
The culture in the area had a completely different way of bronze making compared to the “traditional” ancient Chinese way. This means that there were multiple, independent cultures in ancient China. Findings like this challenge the official narrative that all Chinese Civilizations started from the Yellow River plains.
Some scholars considered the Bronze figures that were found, to be more fascinating than the Terracota Army in Xi’an because of the immense difference in artistic style, and the amazing level of detail they posses.
5. Paestum
This ancient Greek city was once known as Poseidonia, after the Greek god of the sea. By the way, you really don’t know how weird that name is to pronounce until you’ve tried it. Go ahead, lets see how well you do !
It was built right on the coast of the Tyrrhenian sea in Magna Graecia, which is now known as southern Italy. The city was conquered by the Lucanians and then by the Romans who gave the city its current name. Eventually it would be abandoned during the Early Middle Ages but rediscovered during the 18th centurY.
4. The Antikythera Mechanism
This artifact was discovered and retrieved from the sunken Antikythera wreck that is located just off of the Greek island with the same name.
The device has been dated to as far back as 205 BC and is often considered to be “the world’s first scientific calculator.” Well that's a stretch to be honest, but it WAS able to able to accurately measure the position of the sun, moon, and the planets.
And if you were a fan of the olympic games, the antikythera mechanism could also track their four year cycle.
The mechanism was very advanced for its time, and the technology behind it was somehow lost over the years. It took about 1400 years for other scientists to create similar machines. Which makes you wonder, what else have humans discovered and engineered,that is completely lost to us now?

A so-called “Albert Johnson” was responsible for a massive manhunt in Canada's Yukon territory in 1931. He was hunted down by dozens of Canadian authorities for 48 days until they finally caught him.
The chase grabbed the media's attention because of the theatrics involved as the events unfolded. And it also turned out that Albert Johnson was not his real identity.
In July 1931, a clean-shaven man with a seemingly Scandinavian accent arrived at Fort McPherson, the only community along the Peel River.
The man ventured into the Mackenzie River area on his own. He then built a small cabin on the banks of the nearby Rat River. Nobody knew anything about him or what he was doing in such a remote location.
On December 31, Canadian officers received allegations from neighboring trappers that Johnson was meddling with their traps.
Two Canadian Constables showed up at Johnson's cabin to question him. But he barely responded to their questions and barricaded his doors.
The Constables returned with a warrant to force their way in. Johnson responded by shooting at them. The officers then retreated to gather reinforcements.
After several days, a posse of men and dogs returned and used dynamite to put down Johnson's cabin. Johnson was still able to open fire, and after a 15-hour standoff in subzero temperatures, the group retreated.
News about the incident quickly made its way through global radio.
On January 14, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police arrived at the cabin and realized that Johnson was gone. They chased him for 150 miles in blizzard conditions.
Johnson eluded the police for days by using caribou tracks to disguise his own. When he was finally located, a second firefight broke out, and Johnson fatally wounded one officer before going back on the run.
The manhunt eventually added a plane and native Indians. After climbing over a 7,000 ft mountain peak, Johnson was finally spotted from the air and cornered in a shootout at Eagle River, Yukon, on February 17.
The fugitive managed to shoot another officer before he was taken down. Authorities found he was carrying $2,000 in American currency and gold.
In trying to identify him, forensic tests conducted in 2007 revealed that the man had an asymmetrical tailbone and one foot longer than the other. But DNA samples failed to return any matches.
Johnson had managed to travel over 90 miles from his cabin under extreme conditions. His escape and such an impressive survival feat raised many eyebrows.
But what was the man's real identity and his reason for fleeing in such an aggressive manner? The mystery has intrigued authorities for decades.

Lucani (ancient people)
The Lucani (Lucanians) were an Italic tribe living in Lucania, who spoke an Oscan language, a member of the Italic languages.
Language and writing
The Lucani spoke a variety of the Umbrian-Oscan language, like their neighbours, the Samnites, who had absorbed the Oscii in the 5th century BC. The few Oscan inscriptions and coins in the area that survive from the 4th or 3rd century BC use the Greek alphabet.
History
Around the middle of the 5th century BC, the Lucani moved south into Oenotria, driving the indigenous tribes, known to the Greeks as Oenotrians, Chones, and Lauternoi, into the mountainous interior.
The Lucanians were engaged in hostilities with the Greek colony of Taras/Tarentum, and with Alexander, king of Epirus, who was called in by the Tarentine people to their assistance, in 334 BC, thus providing a precedent for Epirote interference in the affairs of Magna Graecia. In 331, treacherous Lucanian exiles killed Alexander of Epirus.
In 298, Livy records, they made alliance with Rome, and Roman influence was extended by the colonies of Venusia (291), Paestum (Greek Posidonia, refounded in 273), and above all Roman Tarentum (refounded in 272). Subsequently, however, the Lucanians suffered by choosing the losing side in the various wars on the peninsula in which Rome took part. They were sometimes in alliance with Rome, but more frequently engaged in hostilities, during the Samnite wars.
