Well I found this two People in my Osprey book's....
The Numidian, Berbers, Garamantes, Libyans etc., are the aboriginal people of North Africa, They can't be confuse with the True Black's, wich are:
Ethiopians, Sudaneses,Meriotics,Blemmye's, ancient Nubian's & Cusites or Cushites, etc.
The first group, were darkers by the sun, and they look like some Hispanic & Spanish people from Andalucia, wich many people of this two groups descended from them, but some are rufus like an ancient Liyan tribe. From a Berber tribe called Ifriki or Ifrikians, from them comefrom the generative name Africa to the hole continent, not from the black's, tha's a mistake....
By the way Black's first and then Arabs conqueror's mixed with some or many of the milenial aboriginal north africans, in earlyer times they were more pure in blood . But some tribe's still 100% pure blooded berber's...
But it would be cool!
D ... and more!
If I'm not wrong, I heard once that after Crist die, in a time there was a hight ranging Roman officer, or Pretorian or something like that, Who was Black... that he got, or was the protector of the Spear that once pierced the body of Crist.... tha was interested
...
Well I just was thinking about that too few days ago
hock: , there should be Black reenactors, because they contributed so much in ancient history...& Roma! :wink: ...
Also I saw once a statue of a Black- medieval Night
(a African) some were ? maybe in a Castle, was very nice to see...
