[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [QB] . http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/ancient/herod-libya1.asp [b]Herodotus On Libya, from The Histories, c. 430 BCE [i]The Libyans dwell in the order which I will now describe. Beginning on the side of Egypt, the first Libyans are the Adyrmachidae. These people have, in most points, the same customs as the Egyptians, but use the costume of the Libyans. Their women wear on each leg a ring made of bronze; they let their hair grow long, and when they catch any vermin on their persons, bite it and throw it away One thing more also I can add concerning this region, namely, that, so far as our knowledge reaches, four nations, and no more, inhabit it; and two of these nations are indigenous, while two are not. The two indigenous are the Libyans and Ethiopians, who dwell respectively in the north and the south of Libya. The Garamantians have four-horse chariots, in which they chase the Troglodyte Ethiopians, who of all the nations whereof any account has reached our ears are by far the swiftest of foot. The Troglodytes feed on serpents, lizards, and other similar reptiles. Their language is unlike that of any other people; it sounds like the screeching of bats.[/b][/i] KV11 tomb of Rameses III (Reign 1186–1155 BC, 20th Dynasty) [IMG]http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/6310/hornungdistortiongz4.jpg[/IMG] ___________________________________________________[b]LIBYAN ^^^ [/b] http://www.touregypt.net/featurestories/enemies.htm Foreigners from Ramesses III Temple at Medinet Habu [IMG]http://www.touregypt.net/images/touregypt/enemies7.jpg[/IMG] [b]LIBYAN[/b] [IMG]http://i1113.photobucket.com/albums/k513/tlxlowe/4748602706_388a444cd5_b.jpg[/IMG] ________________________ [b]LIBYAN[/b]_________________________ [URL=http://www.ephotobay.com/share/picture-27-91.html] [IMG]http://www.ephotobay.com/image/picture-27-91.png[/IMG][/URL] Ippolito Rosellini (1800-1843) Monuments of Egypt and Nubia. Colour Ramesses II Impales Libyan Enemy, 12th Century Hand colored etching from "Monumenti dell' Egitto e della Nubia" by Ippolito Rosellini from a wall relief on the Great Temple of Abu Simbel. Depicts Ramesses II about to impale a Libyan enemy with his spear while he tramples another enemy he has already killed. Note that the spear is unrealistically shown behind his head so as not to cover his face. Ramesses II (1303-1213 BC) referred to as Ramesses the Great, was the third Egyptian pharaoh (reigned 1279-1213 BC) of the Nineteenth dynasty.
