[QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: [QB] I don't know, the concept of "original Tuareg" seems inapplicable to the reality of what attracts various Kel Tagelmust or Kel Tamasheq together into a geo-social aggregate sharing an overlapping ethnicity that borders on nationality. Still I'd like to hear your view as to who was first. Arabs invented the Tuareg, I think the desert Anabiya were the first Mulathimun Sanhaja that they wrote about. Greco-Latin accounts mention Saharan humans with eyes in their chests or similar such approximations as heard from their supra-Saharan informants. You can get a book on Tassili N'Ajjer rock art for the given and for finding other examples of veiled desert dwellers for yourself. Rock art is hard to concretely date. The age of paintings of veiled men depends on their style. There's no definitive agreement on stop start dates of overlap dates for the main styles of Tassili N'Ajjer rock art. http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/tass/hd_tass.htm [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [qb] Thanks for the info. I keep forgetting that the Tuareg are not a single homogenous group. The fact that they were nomadic as well as the genetic evidence which especially shows varied maternal lineages should be proof enough of that. So I guess the Tuareg of the Sahara can be compared to I guess 'Arabs' of Arabia who consisted of different peoples that all adopted the Arab name then. So who, if possible, can be identified as the 'original' Tuareg? So exactly how old is the tradition of Saharan men wearing the veil? Are there really Greco-Roman accounts of them, if so can you provide any? By the way, that rock painting example looks rather vague to me. Are there any more clear examples of possible veils being worn? [/qb][/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
