[QUOTE]Originally posted by yazid904: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [qb] I remember this thread, and it was a very good and interesting one. I read that the scholar Gordon Childe proposed that these north Mediterraneans were probably peoples who adopted the Berber languages. Is this true? From archaeology and anthropology as well as genetics we have evidence that the North African neolithic spilled out into Southwest Europe (Iberia) just as it did into the Levant and Southeast Europe. And heck, we have white Berber speakers in North Africa! Any comments to this, Takruri or anyone else? [/qb][/QUOTE]From my knowledge of Iberian Muslim history, it is known and reported that Christians were 'deported' to North Africa in various waves, or they voluntarily left to form new communites and as a result, they blended in with the natives (of North Africa) as it were. They were Muslims, who intermarried with various tribal groups in Spain (Celtic, Visigoths, Slavs, etc) so despite being Muslim, they also were forced to leave when different Muslim ideologies confronted them. Many were no different from Spaniards but as they had a Muslim background, they were forced back to the North Africa of their grandparents and so they would naturally gravitate to areas reminiscent of their homeland (the Atlas mountains)! Other areas of Southern Europe experienced the same conditions with the ebb and flow of different dynasties. [/QB][/QUOTE]
