We apply a combination of several old and new techniques ranging from tradi- tional toponymic analysis to novel modifications of cluster analysis. Our hybrid human- machine method demonstrates that Ptolemy’s information on West Africa is a compilation of data from three or more sources, including at least one version or derivative of The Periplus of Hanno. The newest iteration adds data for three more provinces of Ptolemy’s Libya — Mauretania Caesariensis, Africa and Aethiopia Interior— to Mauretania Tingitana and Libya Interior investigated in an earlier, unpublished version of the work that the late Lyudmila Filatova had contributed to as the founder of our multi-year project. The surviv- ing co-authors used their newest digital analysis methods (triangulation and flocking with Bayesian correction) and took into account their recent finds on Ptolemy’s Sinae (Guinea/Senegal, where Ptolemy had placed fish-eating Aethiopians). We discuss some of the weaknesses and fallacies of the earlier approaches to the problem.

  • Vandals Tribe Towards the Arab Maghreb Country of Policy at ( 429
    Journal of Xi'an University of Architecture & Technology Issn No : 1006-7930 Policy of Vandals tribe towards the Arab Maghreb country at ( 429 – 534 AD ) Hasanain Abdulrazzaq Hasan Alhadi Al-Mustansiriyah University, College of Education Abstract The vandals dominated the Maghreb for more than 100 years , establishing a monarchy from 429 to 534 AD . The aim of this control was to find a relatively secure and wealthy headquarters for their rule , as well as the geographical location of the Maghreb which controlled navigation routes in the western basin of the Mediterranean sea , these features that were not available in their areas – which they abandoned – on the Scandinavian peninsula . The Maghreb people were not satisfied with the Vandal rule over their country , especially after they touched upon the chaotic and racist policies adopted by the kings of the Vandals in the economic , social, religious and military aspects ,which exhausted the country and drained its wealth for the interests of the Vandals rulers. In return for impoverishment the Maghreb people because of the confiscation of their fertile lands and payment of unfair taxes and deprivation of the management of their country , as well as being forced to abandon their Catholic doctrine and embrace the doctrine of the Vandal Aryans. Introduction In this research, we will learn about the secrets of political history, which went through the countries of the Maghreb during the Vandal control (429-534 AD). Volume XII, Issue III, 2020 Page No: 295 Journal of Xi'an University of Architecture & Technology Issn No : 1006-7930 As we will discuss the origins of the Vandals and their economic and social conditions, and how they gained control of the countries of the Arab Maghreb, then we examined the nature of their system of government, and the most important policies they followed in managing the affairs of the country, in the economic, social, religious and military aspects.

  • A Correlation Analysis of Low-Level Conflict in North African Berber Groups, 1990-2011
    A CORRELATION ANALYSIS OF LOW-LEVEL CONFLICT IN NORTH AFRICAN BERBER GROUPS, 1990-2011 A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of The School of Continuing Studies and of The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Liberal Studies By Suzanne Hollands, B.A. Georgetown University Washington, D.C. April 10, 2014 Copyright 2014 by Suzanne Hollands-Sibley All Rights Reserved. ii A CORRELATION ANALYSIS OF LOW-LEVEL CONFLICT IN NORTH AFRICAN BERBER GROUPS, 1990-2011 Suzanne Hollands-Sibley, B.A. MALS Mentors: John O. Voll, Ph.D., Andy Vogt, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Berber regions of North Africa have long resisted incursion from the outside world. Regional conquests from the Punics, Greeks and Romans were repeatedly met with persistent and at times violent resistance, particularly under Greek and Roman rule. With the Arab conquest in the seventh century AD, the depth of penetration into Berber culture was fundamentally altered, particularly in the area of religion and language. Though still committed to Islam as a religion, recent Berber movements have shown a marked resistance to Arab cultural identity, seeking instead to re-establish a purely Berber cultural ethos through the revival of their indigenous Amazigh language and customs. Because their former identity precedes the advent of Islam, the Berber have recently sought to reconcile their ancient cultural heritage, particularly their language, with a religion they adopted in the seventh century but whose very language they conceive of as that of a former oppressor. Rather than rejecting Islam, they choose instead to reinvent it, replacing the sacred Arabic language of the QUrán with their lingua franca – Tamazight – in their practice of Islam, thereby uniting both culture and religion and reinforcing a cultural identity.
