[QUOTE]Originally posted by Tukuler: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by [b]Djehuti[/b]: I am very much interested in what info you have on the Garamantes. [/QUOTE]. The only thing I can say about Minoan Crete and the Garamante is this. Minoan Crete beginnings date to 2200 BCE. By 1300 BCE Minoan Crete was finished. Garamante enter the scene ~1000 BCE and Garama/Jerma hegemony over trans-Saharan was solidified ~550 BCE. This is inline with the Greek myth of Garamas Amphithetis, whose mother was named Akakallis, a Minoan princess, in that his mother's banishment may echo Crete's end and the direction some may've taken if desiring to leave the island rather than submit to Mykenaean suzereignty. I don't think North African mtDNA supports Aegean women as mothers of ancient peoples (Nasamonians, Garamantes) in what's now Libya. Ancient DNA, if recoverable, would reveal if these peoples female line was either Aegean, or the same as todays, or of some no longer extant lineage. The other Garamas of Greek myth was Mother Earth's son and authochthonous to Libya. The Greeks claimed this myth was learned from the Libyans themselves. It places Garamas before agriculture [/QB][/QUOTE]
