Before being forced to abandon
Libya in February of 2011, Mattingly
and his team had already made outstanding discoveries, such as the
ruins of a fortress with walls reaching four meters high, numerous
houses, cemeteries, wells, channels
and irrigation systems. But we ask:
how can we reproach ourselves for
not knowing about these lost kingdoms when even the majority of
Libyans had not been told about its
existence? Therefore, to start, the
best approach would be to locate
the Garamantes in their space and
time in history. Something which,
as we will see next, is not an easy
task.
