[QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: [QB] I have problems with certain comments from the warflag site. [QUOTE]Descended either from the original Neolithic inhabitants of the region (before the Moors or Arabs came) or from inter-breeding with West Africans. [/QUOTE]The inter-breeding option doesn't make sense because it doesn't say who did the interbreeding. We know the Sahara (from as far north as the Algerian chottes) was home to a dark skinned indigenous population (with a few lighter skinned populations as well) because we have prehistoric art depicting them and we have texts from the Greco-Latin historian-geographers listing them. Therefore, this following surmise is also obscurant: [QUOTE]They rarely owned any land [/QUOTE]Their landownership was abrogated.They were the original landowners who were subjugated by late arriving folk more militant than they. A folk who knew not the arts of oasis cultivation and had to rely on the proto-Harritine for those skills. [/QB][/QUOTE]
