[QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by liar7: "The Roman administrator and historian, Gaius Crispus Sallust, says of people of North Africa. North Africa was first occupied by Libyans and Getulians, who were a barbarous people, a heterogeneous mass, or agglomeration of people of different races, without any form of religion or government, nourishing themselves on herbs, or devouring the raw flesh of animals killed in the chase; for [URL=http://www.]first amongst these were found Blacks[/URL], probably some from the interior of Africa, and belonging to the great negro family; then whites, issue of the Semitic stock, who apparently constituted, even at that early period, the dominant race or caste. Later, but at an epoch absolutely unknown, a new horde of Asiatics of Medes, Persians, and Armenians, invaded the countries of the Atlas, and, led on by Hercules, pushed their conquests as far as Spain."
