[QUOTE]Originally posted by Tukuler: [QB] The Tomb of "Tin Hinan" at Ablessa in the Hoggar deserves looking into. We don't the name of the woman buried there. Expelled Tripolitanians, not arriving at Hoggar until after Hilal and Soleym Arab times, became the Kel Ahaggar. Finding the tomb they attached Our Nonna Tin Hinan to it. Tin Hinan as in their origin myth establishing Moroccan emmigration. Thing is the tomb dates to ~350 CE by carbon 14 tests of her bed. A semblance of Roman coin that dates to Constantine ~313 CE helps fix the time. According to the tradition Queen Tin Hinan and her handmaid Takama hail from the far west, Tafilalet in Morocco. Those of Kel Ahaggar Tuareg subethnies claim direct descent from either of these women (respectively as either nobles or vassals). It would take some time to grow from two women to an entire people. Who were the fathers? Where did the father's come from? Does the tradition mention an entourage or only queen and handmaid? Taking tradition at face value Morocco is too distant for Garamas descent. I understand the great social value of descent traditions but by science the tomb's date fits the Garama era centuries before Tripolitanians settled Hoggar. Garamas traded with the Ahaggar Mountains folk as it was on the route from Garama to the mid- Niger Valley network. Who the entombed woman was or what her particular ethnic group was is unknown to me. Examining her cranial and post-cranial remains and her funerary goods and how she was laid to rest and the tomb itself for clues may tell us. Again, I wouldn't hold breath waiting on her aDNA report.
