The Origins of the Imazighen (Berbers), natives of North Africa
(RESOURCES BELOW) In this episode, I take you along with me as we explore the origin story of the Imazighen, the indigenous inhabitants of North Africa, also known as the Berbers. We examine a variety of historical perspectives and takes, spanning the evolution of what different historians believed to be the origin story of the Imazighen, until today. We trace their history from ancient times to the present, discussing the myths that have been diffused, the most recent archaeological findings, and scholarly debates that have contributed to our understanding of the Imazighen.
