[QUOTE]Originally posted by Trollkillah # Ish Gebor: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Child Of The KING: [qb] Yeah Yo...It seems tings are FISHY in Libyan land and to unravel Libya will lead us to better understand NA. Keep posting whatever you find Bro. Informative and Learning produces Knowledge. Hopefully people see the Turkish influence(wink wink) that is a constant in these articles. [/qb][/QUOTE]Oh, there is certainly information out there about and on their presence of Ottoman ancestry and descendants in Libya. https://www.facebook.com/InternationalLibyanTurkishSchool And here is "500 YEARS IN TURKISH-LIBYAN RELATIONS" Unfortunately the author; ORHAN KOLOĞLU, doesn't mention the Phoenicians allot, but for one time only. :( [QUOTE] I. THE PRE-OTTOMAN ERA Libya before the arrival of the Turks: The word “Libya” in early history was a geographical expression. As written by one source: As used by the ancient Greeks, it referred generally to North Africa, comprising the southern littoral of the Mediterranean from the Nile Delta to the Atlantic, and also its desert hinterland and oases. The name derives from a single tribe established in eastern Cyrenaica early in the 2nd millennium B.C. There is reason to think that the territory as a whole showed a considerable degree of uniformity of race and culture (...) The physical type of the people was clearly Mediterranean, and contrasted with the Negroid races inhabiting the desert to the south. Their way of life was that of shepherd nomads loosely organized into tribes and confederations (...) They had their own kingdom (...) Later, Libya was colonized by the Greeks, and eventually passed under Roman control. It subsequently came under Muslim-Arab domination, followed by the Ottoman suzerainty. 1 The word “Libya” ceased to circulate in the post Greek and Roman periods, when North Africa remained divided under different rulers. Tripolitania (Ottoman Trablous al gharb), Cyrenaica = Barca 2 and Fezzan were distinct entities. Separated by the Gulf of Sirte, Tripoli, at all times, was known to be part of Maghreb, and Cyrenaica of Mashrek. On the other hand, Fezzan was always conceived to be independent from both Tripoli and Cyrenaica. (Page 11) [...] In the interaction between Libya and the Mediterranean politics and trade, Tripoli, the main port in Libya, has played major roles: From the strategic point of view, the area between Tripoli- Siracuse and Bone-Trepani forms a corridor that splits the Mediterranean.4 For those who would try to dominate either the Eastern or the Western Mediterranean, Tripoli constitutes a strategic point that must be captured in order to pass across the other side. ‘For this reason, do we have to be surprised?’ asks Braudel.5 He connects majority of the wars taking place in this region during the 16th century to the domination of the Mediterranean; these wars include Tripoli (1511,1551), Djerba (1510,1520,1560), Tunis (1535,1573,1574), Bizerte (1573,1574), and Malta (1565). Moreover, Braudel propounds that Spain’s great interest in capturing Tripoli in 1510 was because it needed a reliable route along the southern coast in order to transport the rich Sicilian wheat. (Page 14) [...] [b]The establishment of Phoenician colonies along the Libyan coast [/b] for the purchase of goods – gold, ivory, and feathers – and slaves from Central Africa and Sudan is also a mark of the historical appeal of this transit trade.1 On the other hand, local Libyan trade was of little importance because of the plain way of life and limited production capability of the Saharan people. They could only offer dates, salt, wax, in exchange for wheat, cloth, etc...

According to this map. What could this, or rather, what does this imply?
