[rayahou]

: and they are under arabe rule right now. Spain andalousia was ruled by the muladis and not the moors. The Muladis are those people native of andalousia born from the melting pot of arabs the masters, berbers and spanish converted to islam . For egypt it is only Sheshonq an egyptian citixzen who governed egypt and not the berbers, You lying. Obama is from kenyan descent does not mean Kenyans are ruling the USA" less

[rifo96]

@rayahou Your are a stupid boy who believes in the fairy tales of thousand and one night. first of all the words berbers and an Arabic zionist name for the Amazigh nation in North Africa. Sheshonq you stupid uneducated moron was a LIBYAN form the LIBYAN MESHWESH tribe who conqeured the WHOLE Egyptian Empire and this well documtend in the tombs of Shenshonq and from the moment he took power the strating of the Amazigh years began till this day and it has never been stopt.

[rifo96]

@rayahou Shenshonq toms and remains are the only tombs which were not been stolen by thieves when the Egyptians found the temple it was never been visted by anuone else but the Egyptian scuentist. And ALL Egypt scientish inclusief mister hwass himselg ar saying shesonq was a pure libyan. Now tell me who the fuck are you to tell us he wasn't?

[nik303ful]

I AM SO PROUD OF MY BEAUTIFULL LIBYA

cyrene - liptes - slanta - the desert - tripoly - subratah - musratah and lovely benghazi

every part of libya amazing

[n0gar]

The only part is, it was not made by arabs...

[nixter888]

The Greeks should be proud for this!!!..Not you!!!

[kidzara]

by the way , there were no arabs in Libya in this era , there were berber , which are 20% of libya in recent days , and the berber had historical events , they ruled roman empire for a period of time even they shared greeks in founding cyrene , they ruled egypt in the 22 - 23 dynastic , they ruled spain (andulisia) and .... etc , so i'm proud i'm Lbyan

[MocrONariff]

@kidzara i agree you totally brother, arabs just sent a khalifa to spread islam at that time and they were a minority. and the berbers tarik ibn ziad a real riffie conquered spain plus southern europe. fuck all haters and suckers who want to rob and denie history. and if some people can use their eyes, in andalusia are berbers living like they live in canaria. so long live the ottomans and the moors= berbers

[rayahou]

@MocrONariff : Tarek ibn Ziad was nominated to lead the invasin of Spain by his commander in Chief . MOUSSA IBN NOSSEIR who himself was a subordinate of the governor of Tunis

[MocrONariff]

@rayahou they were good people, honorable, warriors and straight forward like all other nations in the world. All muslims should unite and not fightin here about color or race, it is not allowed in the Islam.

[rayahou]

@MocrONariff @MocrONariff : Yes I am a muslim and I do not like some people( you are one of them) who like to boast about their ethnicity and then contradict yourself. First, most of the Arabs warriors who share in the Foutouhates of the Maghreb established the spine of the army who invaded Spain because of their experience. People who got borned and lived in spain were called Muladis and not Moors or Arabs

[MocrONariff]

@rayahou when i say berbers is also included arabs (berbers+arabs= for me the same), automaticly because i am a berber i say berbers. what have i done to you bro that you dont like me, you make some times also comments what i dont like that is life, therefore you dont have to hate me for a stupid comment . and i am not going to discuss about who did conq. or not, history is real documented and for me just allah can judge that, not me or you or any other person what real matters is islam.

[VitaminJ4029]

i had a twice re-occuring dream and god was telling me to go dig and search libya for artifacts. then he showed a map of libya and all of the places there that would be flooded in the next 50 years. he said i must go dig there and find something, he didnt say what. the craziest thing is that i am studying to be an archaeologist and in college as we speak.

[cyrenejo]

i got my first name from this place..

[ellibaneschileno]

[muadib608]

Excellent video. I am a fan of Ancient history

[haxichoz]

The magnificent ancient Greek and Roman ruins in Libya have been preserved by the British, The Italians and The French..........The Libyan people neither care about nor visit these places.....Because they are evidence of Pre Islamic Culture. More recognition should be given to the hard working Europeans, mainly unpaid volunteers, who have worked so hard to look after these ancient monuments

[Kristnt]

yeah well said.

[shnoepie1]

@haxichoz Moron, most Libyan folk don't care about these ruins because most are simple, uneducated people. It has nothing to do with them being muslim. The British and Italians have preserved these ruins only in your moronic imagination. Muslims have ruled Libya for 1300 of the past 1400 years! In all those years these ruins were never destroyed 'Because they are evidence of Pre Islamic Culture'! The most important Roman ruins (outside Italy) lie in MUSLIM countries: N-Africa, Egypt and Syria!!

[tahadi]

Cyrene was founded by ancient Greeks who originated from Santorini & settled in libya, after renaming this city Cyrene it became one of 5 major cities in Cyenaica barca (now known as al marj) euesperides (benghazi) appolonia (susa)cyrene (shahat) touchira (tukrah). these 5 major cities formed the pentapolis and was later conquerd by the egytpians (ptolemy) who founded the city ptolmais (now known as tulmaytha) cyrenaica was conquered by thr Romans Persians Bizantines Arabs and Ottomans.

[vivoviva]

i've been there, they have a very nice history.. amazing how they did it.. it's original Greek city yes... Libya is a mixed cultures..Greek, Roman, Bizantine.. I love it..

[Schopfergeist]

Cyrenaica was destroyed by, who else, fruity Jews who massacred in the most savage and inhumane way hundreds of thousands of people. They did the same on the island of Cyprus. But, of course, everyone was just 'anti-Semitic'.

[C21Troy]

oh put some clothes on ya bunch of ancient scrumpets!

[nixter888]

it is not a copie it is an original greek city!!!!

[foou1]

it wasn't copied.this is another greek colony

[cataclyzm68]

must have been pretty impressive in its day. Makes you wonder who took all the stone?

[Schopfergeist]

Yeah, the cities of the U.S. and Europe will look the same in a century with the poor leadership they have.
