This history documentary explores the mysterious religion of Carthage. The video begins with the history of the Phoenicians and their religion. Once established, we then trace its transportation to the west through colonization and how it evolved over the course of Carthaginian history.

The documentary then looks at the Carthaginian pantheon, its holy places, and its practices. The pantheon focuses on major gods like Melqart, Ba'al Hammon and Tanit as well as minor gods like Eshmun and Reshef. We then discuss the holy places of the religion of Carthage which include both sites in nature as well as temples. Next the history documentary looks at the practices of the mysterious religion of Carthage which involves prayer, offerings, and sacrifice. Finally the documentary concludes with a discussion of Carthaginian religious belief and what little information we have on the rest of their religion. Sadly much is lost a result of the Punic Wars and the Siege of Carthage by the Roman Army.
