The Megalithic Culture and Rich Ancient Berbers Mythology, the Desert Lords
The nomadic Berbers who lived in the area of north Africa west of the Nile Valley gave rise to the moniker of the Barbary Coast. Known historically as the Amazigh or Imazighen, which translates to “free humans” or “free men,” they are some of the most ancient people living in North Africa. Their complex mythology persisted for millennia, eventually influencing the ancient Egyptians’ religious beliefs.
The Berber people of northern Africa have a rich and varied history. A vast collection of non-Arabic tribes, linked by language and culture, the Berbers live from Egypt to the Canary Islands and in places south of the Sahara, including Niger and Mali. Their roots can be found in the Caspian culture, an over 10,000-year-old North African civilization, according to archaeologists. Since ancient times, people who speak Berber have resided in North Africa. The Egyptians first mentioned Berbers about 3,000 BC under the name Temehu.
Texts from the Phoenicians, Greeks, and Romans also mention the Berbers mythology. Berber territories have been a crossroads for peoples from Africa, Europe, and the Middle East since prehistoric times. Parts of the Berber homeland have been conquered and ruled by the Carthaginians, Romans, Vandals, Byzantines, Arabs, Turks, Spaniards, French, and Italians. There has never been a one political identity for the Berbers. A multitude of Berber kingdoms and civilizations coexisting in different parts of North Africa and Spain. Due to their centuries-long intermarriage with numerous ethnic groups, especially Arabs, Berbers are now mostly recognized by their language rather than their race. The language is one of the oldest in the world and belongs to the African branch of the Afro-Asian language family, along with ancient Egyptian.
