Confirmation that I experienced 9000 year old farming in the most traditional Berber village

@Voidisyinyang Voidisyinyang I'm Amazigh (the world knows us as Berbers), I have done a DNA test and I am 100% North African we have, as you said, our own language and our own alphabet: Tifinagh (older than Phoenicians). We are not arabs and we are not sub saharan africans, in 2018, DNA analysis of Later Stone Age individuals from the site of Taforalt (Iberomaurusian, 15 000 BP) and Early Neolithic Moroccans from the site of Ifri N' Ammar (IAM) (7 000 BP) revealed that they were related to the modern North Africans and carried Y-DNA E-M35, EM-215*, E-L19*, and E-M78*. These studies confirmed a long-term genetic continuity in the region showing that Mesolithic Moroccans are similar to Later Stone Age individuals from the same region and possess an endemic component retained in present-day Maghreb Amazigh populations.

@Voidisyinyang Voidisyinyang Tifinagh is possibly the oldest writing system currently used. It appeared even before the chinese writing. The oldest tifinagh hieroglyphs seem to date back to four thousand (4000) years before the christian era, while chinese graphics didn’t appear until three thousand (3000) years before Jesus christ, and the pictographical writings of America (Mayas and Aztecs) just in the Eighth century before J.C.

@Zine Labidine Wow! thanks for that fascinating science. So because there is wheat farming - there must be some mix from West Asia/Near East - with the later stone age - oh yes you say "early neolithic" - This was my surmising of the farming - that it must be very ancient indeed - since the women did the farming. Very fascinating. Thanks and any thing you would like to add would be appreciated. I went there with my peace corps gf and she and I visited another PCV. The lady said she was going to extend her time to another two years since she liked living the traditional village lifestyle so much. I was only there for an over night but the government had just put in a gravel road - and a light bulb for a couple hours of electricity a night. So when one truck drove by then all the ladies in the field - they raised their fists in the air and yelled at the truck. I thought that was very cool - no tolerance for outside noise and pollution. Clearly that village had been living sustainably then for thousands of years!!
@Zine Labidine That is really wild - a 6000 year old writing language - yes I very much liked the Berber culture.
