[QUOTE]Originally posted by dana marniche: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by KING: [qb] dana marniche Welcome back Dana. You were gone for too long. This forum needs your ideas about Africans and Arabs to shine a light on who was regarded as Black or not. Also Libya is home to many Berbers especially in the south. I even hear that Southern Libya is Majority Black if that is true, you only hope they don't support the racist rebels. Keep up the Good work Peace [/qb][/QUOTE]King thanks. I'll be back for a while but have to finish work on my web-site celebrating the great Africanists whom I admire and am in the process of interviewing now. ;) Yes many of the people of the south of the modern Libya were once related to the peoples of Syrtica and the Tripolitanian area. In the south they are a mixture of the ancient Garawan and Teda/Tibbu and Tuareg. In the north most of these people were overrun and pushed southward by Europeans (a large number being of Roman and Syrian descent) and have mixed with Europeans. In the south there has been mixture with Iklan or black slaves coming from Meroe and other areas. During the period of the Ramessids and Seti some of the Libyans appear to have mixed with peoples of the Sea. They retained their crossbands, kirtles and and other attire found anciently on pottery of C-group Nubia/ and Libyan peoples as in Kerma, the Wadi Howar and Gilf Kebir. Their earliest names were Temhiu and Tehenu both of which became names for westerners in ancient Egypt by the intermediate period. I believe the northern people were the Fulani based on certain paintings I've seen while at the University of Chicago. [/QB][/QUOTE]
