[QUOTE]Originally posted by dana marniche: [QB] “Ephorus says the Tartessians report that Ethiopians overran Libya as far as Dyris [the Atlas Mountains] and that some of them stayed in Dyris, while others occupied a great part of the sea-board.” Lacus Curtius Strabo book I Chapter 2 “The children of Ham possessed the land from Syria and Amanus, and the mountains of Libanus; seizing upon all that was on its sea-coasts, and as far as the ocean, and keeping it as their own. Some indeed of its names are utterly vanished away; others of them being changed, and another sound given them, are hardly to be discovered; yet a few there are which have kept their denominations entire. “ Josephus Antiquities of the Jews, Book I, Chapter 6 The Tuareg though matrilineal and matrifocal were not necessarily always matriarchal. They have always been ruled by mostly male chiefs called Galidi, hence the name "Gildo" and Aguellid in the North African area. From what I can tell most of these "Galidi" were men. Some have even related the term to the Goliath of the Bible. Others have found in the term a possible link to Acalle - the daughter of Minos in mythology or "Alyattes" in the Aegean. Anyway, I don't think this ancestry of kings was given to the Tuareg who still claim a "Phoenician" descent and Yemenite origins. The tradition is apparently Berber and the Shluhs have the same tradition as the Tuareg apparently. “The Shellooh, it must be observed are a clans people and great genealogists. They call themselves, the descendants of Mazigh, son of Canaan, and consider their northern neighbours, the Brebber of Fez, as Philistines, descendants of Casluhim, son of Mizraim. Ibn Khaldun says of the Berbers in general that they are descended from ham, like the ancient Egyptians. “ p. 263 Penny Cyclopaedia of the Society for the Difusion of Useful Knowledge 1835 The Shluh of the Upper Atlas incidently ar the Berbers who often prefix their name with the word "Ait" or "Ad" like certain Tuareg and Bedja. There have always been a tradition of two waves of the Berbers into Africa one represented by the Imazuragh or Banu Mazurah (Mizraim) branch of the Tuareg branch and the other by the Shluh and the Iforas (Afar), Banu Salih and other Zenata who claim descent from the Canaanite Mazikh and whose ancestry appears to be identifiable with the Hyksos rulers represented in Egyptian sources and at the same time "Amalekite" chiefs also known as "Ad" in Arabian genealogy stretching from Yemen to Mecca in the time of Joshua and the breaking of the Marib dam. The other group or Philistines were said to have left their land later in the time of David. This is what I have been proposing to people on this forum since I've been on it. I will have to speak of the Gaetuli (Joddala)later. [/QB][/QUOTE]
