That idea is not founded on current understandings of what Berber speakers are. [/QUOTE]. I think many "Berbers," for the most part, descend from pre-Berber Maurusians (who were relegated to the littoral) and pre-Berber Gafsians (whose sites were further inland). Nikita's trephination point is it's practiced by Tubu today not by Kels. Tin Hanan (whom Kel Ahaggar claim as "ancestress") her tomb is Tubu architecture. Also those Kels in SW Fezzan's Ghat moved there upon Qadhafi's invitation in the 1970's, iirc. [/QB][/QUOTE]
