Libyans had long been portrayed in ancient Egyptian art as a separate race, and this 1914 book attempts to identify them as an ethnic group inside the 'Hamitic' family, and to collate and discuss the archaeological and linguistic evidence for their interaction with the massively powerful Egyptian empire.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the history, culture, and customs of the Eastern Libyans, a group of ancient nomadic peoples who lived in North Africa between Egypt and Tunisia. The author, a scholar of the region, seeks to reveal their civilization, which has long been overshadowed by the more famous empires of Egypt and Rome. The book examines the harsh desert environment in which these people lived and thrived, and how it shaped their language, beliefs, and unique way of life. From their material culture to their religious practices, the author meticulously reconstructs the daily life of the Eastern Libyans, using evidence from archaeological finds, ancient texts, and even modern Berber populations who have inherited some of their ancestral traditions. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into a largely forgotten corner of ancient history, highlighting the resilience and ingenuity of a people who adapted to a challenging landscape and forged a distinct identity within the broader context of the ancient Mediterranean world.
