And people now are beginning to realise, who live in North Africa, that they are not necessarily infected
Arab, genetically, right, in the way that people in the Arabia region might be identified.
And so that's, for some people, and it's certainly a phenomenon among some young people in countries like Tunisia and Algeria, there was a revision about...
what their identity is.
And there's a much more of a reversion, or if you like, an adoption of an identity which is more indigenous.
And so people are now actively looking for those connections.
And, you know, there are various tribal entities throughout the ancient, you know, North Africa, and the Garamahentis are one of those.
And I suspect that...
they are going to become more and more relevant as this phenomenon that's kind of fermenting is going to grow.
Yes, well, I think, you know, I really would want to echo what Joe and David already said, but I think it is really important for scholarship and then how that impacts beyond scholarship in terms of our perceptions, which have been for a long time perhaps...
perhaps quite Eurocentric, about the flow of influence and the flow of power and culture in ancient times up to the present day.
And we start to realise when you start to uncover these civilisations that actually there's a lot going on around Europe and close to Europe, which is pretty powerful, pretty significant, and actually would have been very, very influential in the wider polity.
I suspect it's a sort of a drip-down process, isn't it, with research?
You know, it takes a long time because, of course, the first time that we're really properly researching the Garamantes would have been, what, in the 1960s, a little bit earlier?
Yeah.
And so that's not a long time that people have been studying it.
And it does take a long time for that to feed through into broader literature and popular culture.
And of course, there is also this extraordinary corpus of texts of what's called proto-Tifanakh.
So Tifanakh is the written language of broadly what we might call Amazigh people, what people often refer to commonly as Berbers.
It's problematic because, of course, historically and today, they are all different people and different entities throughout North Africa.
