[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] Some ancient Tuaregs: http://s143772120.onlinehome.fr/gallery/v/Sahara+Algerienne+en+1888/Touareg+faits+prisonniers+__+Hassi+In__fel.jpg.html Tuareg is the name given to the remnants of the ancient black African peoples that onced roamed the deserts of the Sahara and all of North Africa from Morocco to Egypt. Their history is some of the most colorful and "exotic" of the Muslim period in Africa. But the legacy of the Tuaregs is oft distorted, because the name Tuareg is a recent invention, dating back to the 1600s. The original peoples were called by many different names, but most often they were identified as Berbers from many different Berber confederations. These groups played a major part in the military conquests in North Africa, both against and allied with the Muslim invaders. But because there are so many various dynasties that sprang up in North Africa after the Muslim invasion, the identities of these black Africans is often lost amongst the Abbassids, Fatamids, Alouites, Rustamids and others who came along. In many ways, they, along with other black Africans, forged many aspects of what would become Muslim identity, including the wearing of veils and elaborate headwraps. They were the ones driving the caravans across the desert. They were the ones wearing the large round turbans over shawls that often included bandoliers across the chest. The Tuaregs you see today are but a small reflection of the ancient black African peoples that roamed north Africa. These were the ORIGINAL Berbers of North Africa, but of course, modern descendants of Europeans and Arab invaders want to try and make Tuaregs a separate group from the rest of the Berbers, even though they maintain the oldest form of the Berber language, Tifanagh. Unfortunately, the Tuareg of today have been pushed into a small central location in the Sahara, cut off from the ancient trade routes that they used to control and without a country of their own. Even though they are located in the Central Sahara, well into Algeria, many STILL try to call them 'subsaharan'. However, the information is out there on the TRUE history of black Africans in North Africa. Histories written in Arabic probably have a wealth of information, along with the oral and written histories kept by the Tuaregs and other black Africans alive today. A good college library will probably be my next stop, to research historical documents, photos and artwork about these people and their history. More photos: (also note that the white dress of many of these Africans is directly descended from the original saharans and the Egyptians as well. Many Saharan Africans still dress in the white garmments found on the walls of ancient Egyptian tombs and temples.) http://s143772120.onlinehome.fr/gallery/v/Algerie+en+1890+1892++par+P+Vuillot/Alger++int__rieur+mauresque_+1892.jpg.html http://s143772120.onlinehome.fr/gallery/v/Algerie+en+1890+1892++par+P+Vuillot/Alger++rue+arabe_+1892.jpg.html http://s143772120.onlinehome.fr/gallery/v/Algerie+en+1890+1892++par+P+Vuillot/Biskra++femme+_+1892.jpg.html http://s143772120.onlinehome.fr/gallery/d/775-2/Biskra++joueur+d___checs+au+caf__+maure_+1892.jpg Algerian musical legacy (one of the few places where black Africans are acknowledged in the Arab conquest of North Africa): http://www.eden-algerie.com/biskra/Art.htm http://www.culture.cg44.fr/Musique/archives/2005_06/musique_marzoug_biskra.html Other historical Algerian photos from Biskra: http://www.moderna.org/lookatme/archives/497.php More stuff: http://www.jadu.de/jaduland/wdi1/diashow/Seiten/I42_jpg.htm Some ancient Kabyle: http://www.jadu.de/jaduland/wdi1/diashow/Seiten/I51_jpg.htm A very nice image of a North African woman: http://www.jadu.de/jaduland/wdi1/diashow/Seiten/I92_jpg.htm Some bedouins: http://s143772120.onlinehome.fr/gallery/d/2260-2/B__douins+__+pied.jpg Saharan women: http://www.jadu.de/jaduland/wdi1/diashow/Seiten/I265_jpg.htm more women: http://www.jadu.de/jaduland/wdi1/diashow/Seiten/I268_jpg.htm Woman from Bou Saada: http://s143772120.onlinehome.fr/gallery/v/Abum+de+Geiser++Jean+1848+1923/Femme+de+Bou+Saada.jpg.html From: http://www.jadu.de/jaduland/wdi1/diashow/index.htm from El golea (north central Algeria): http://s143772120.onlinehome.fr/gallery/v/El+Golea+Sahara+Algerienne/Types+hommes+d_El+Gol__a++Barka_+le+forgeron.jpg.html http://s143772120.onlinehome.fr/gallery/v/El+Golea+Sahara+Algerienne/Type+n__gre_+El+Gol__a.jpg.html http://s143772120.onlinehome.fr/gallery/v/El+Golea+Sahara+Algerienne/Type+Homme+_+El+Gol__a.jpg.html http://s143772120.onlinehome.fr/gallery/v/El+Golea+Sahara+Algerienne/Type+homme_+El+Gol__a.jpg.html http://s143772120.onlinehome.fr/gallery/v/El+Golea+Sahara+Algerienne/Le+ca__d+des+Chaanba+Mouadhi_+Kaddour+ben+bel+Kheir.jpg.html From: http://s143772120.onlinehome.fr/gallery/v/El+Golea+Sahara+Algerienne/?g2_page=3 A black kabyle? butcher: http://s143772120.onlinehome.fr/gallery/v/ALGERIE++principalement+sites+et+types+ethniques/Boucher+kabyle_+en+Kabylie.jpg.html Arab? algerian: http://s143772120.onlinehome.fr/gallery/v/ALGERIE++principalement+sites+et+types+ethniques/Arabe+de+Laghouat.jpg.html Females Biskri: http://s143772120.onlinehome.fr/gallery/v/ALGERIE++principalement+sites+et+types+ethniques/Femme+et+Biskri.jpg.html More Bou Saada: http://s143772120.onlinehome.fr/gallery/v/ALGERIE++principalement+sites+et+types+ethniques/Femme+de+Bou+Sa__da.jpg.html http://s143772120.onlinehome.fr/gallery/v/ALGERIE++principalement+sites+et+types+ethniques/Femme+de+Bou+Sa__da__.jpg.html http://s143772120.onlinehome.fr/gallery/v/ALGERIE++principalement+sites+et+types+ethniques/Femme+de+Bou+Sa__da____.jpg.html Woman from Djelfa: http://s143772120.onlinehome.fr/gallery/v/ALGERIE++principalement+sites+et+types+ethniques/Femme+de+Djelfa.jpg.html Woman from Biskren: http://s143772120.onlinehome.fr/gallery/v/ALGERIE++principalement+sites+et+types+ethniques/Femme+de+Biskra.jpg.html Man from Algeria: http://s143772120.onlinehome.fr/gallery/v/ALGERIE++principalement+sites+et+types+ethniques/Homme+d_Alger.jpg.html Another black Kabyle: http://s143772120.onlinehome.fr/gallery/v/ALGERIE++principalement+sites+et+types+ethniques/Kabyle_+joueur+de+fl__te.jpg.html Black Mozabite: http://s143772120.onlinehome.fr/gallery/v/ALGERIE++principalement+sites+et+types+ethniques/Mozabite.jpg.html Black Marabout (wandering Islamic teacher): http://s143772120.onlinehome.fr/gallery/v/ALGERIE++principalement+sites+et+types+ethniques/Si+Mohamed+Belkassem_+marabout+de+El+Ham.jpg.html A touggerth type (what is that?) http://s143772120.onlinehome.fr/gallery/v/ALGERIE++principalement+sites+et+types+ethniques/Type+de+Touggourth.jpg.html From: http://s143772120.onlinehome.fr/gallery/v/ALGERIE++principalement+sites+et+types+ethniques/?g2_page=2 Modern black Algerian Mohammed Soudani: http://people.africadatabase.org/en/person/3542.html [/QB][/QUOTE]
