[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mazigh: [QB] here follows a short view on the berber existance in north africa, between the archeologic evidence an the written source [i]Prehistoric desert town found in Western Sahara The remains of a prehistoric town believed to date back 15,000 years and belong to an ancient Berber civilisation have been discovered in Western Sahara, Moroccan state media said. A team of Moroccan scientists stumbled across the sand-covered ruins of the town Arghilas deep in the desert of the Morocco-administered territory. The remains of a place of worship, houses and a necropolis, as well as columns and rock engravings depicting animals, were found at the site near the town of Aousserd in north-eastern Western Sahara. The isolated area is known to be rich in prehistoric rock engravings but experts said the discovery could be significant if proven that the ruins were of Berber origin as this civilisation is believed to date back only some 9,000 years. "It appears that scientists have come up with the 15,000-years estimate judging by the style of the engravings and the theme of the drawings," Mustapha Ouachi, a Rabat-based Berber historian, told Reuters. Berbers are the original inhabitants of North Africa before Arabs came to spread Islam in the seventh century. The population of Western Sahara, seized by Morocco in 1975 when former colonial power Spain pulled out, are mostly of Berber and Arab descent.[/i] [URL=http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200408/s1180895.htm]http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200408/s1180895.htm[/URL] (to be continued) [/QB][/QUOTE]
