Painting from a few years ago that I made depicting a Berber (Arabic) warrior from the middle ages! The rope he holds in his hands is a bola sling, used to grapple / dismount opponents.

Hope you like it!

Second Punic War

The Second Punic War (The Hannibalic War) was fought between Carthage and Rome between 218 and 201 BCE. The war involved confrontations in Spain, Italy, Sicily, Sardinia, and North Africa. Hannibal led the Carthaginians, one of the most gifted commanders in history, but the Romans had their own great general Scipio Africanus, and he successfully attacked Carthage on home soil.

Old pictures of Tunisians back in the late 19th century showing the common haircut back then. The imazighen used to shave all of the head safe for the back. In Tunisian dialect, it's called “ shūsha ” or in tamazight “ tashusht ”. It was considered a symbol of masculinity since the ancient times.

anita berber (1899-1928) was a german dancer. she studied ballet, and by the age of 16, became a cabaret dancer and a fashion model for die dame. scandalously androgynous, she quickly made a name for herself. she wore heavy dancer's make-up, which on the black-and-white photos and films of the time came across as jet black lipstick painted across the heart-shaped part of her skinny lips, and charcoaled eyes. she left her 1st husband to start a relationship with a woman, and became part of berlin’s gay scene. she would go on to marry her dancer friend sebastian droste, and then later another man. she was known for the boundaries she broke with her bisexuality and appearance that was considered taboo of the time.

30 DE AGOSTO, 26 ANIVERSARIO DEL DÍA MUNDIAL DE LA BANDERA (ukenyal) AMAZIGH.

ⵣ✊🏼ⵣ ¡Feliz día

de la bandera Amazigh!

¡Viva la libertad de la Tamazgha

y de todos los pueblos imazighen!

ⵜⴻⴷⴰⵔⴰ ⵜⴰⵎⴰⵣⴳⴰ ⵜⵉⵍⴻⵍⵍⵉⵜ!

ⵀ★☆★ ☆ ★☆★

26 Aniversario del DÍA MUNDIAL

de la BANDERA (ukenyal) AMAZIGH.

ⵣⵣⵣⵣⵣⵣⵣⵣ

26º Amulli, Congrès Mondial Amazigh (CMA) - en Tamazight-.

ⵀ★☆★ ☆ ★☆★ⵀ

Cada 30 de Agosto, a raíz del Congreso Mundial Amazigh celebrado en Tafira (Las Palmas de Gran Canaria) en 1997, se celebra en todo el Mundo el nacimiento de este símbolo de unidad y libertad de los diferentes pueblos que viven en diversas regiones del norte de África (Territorio conocido como la Tamazgha) que comparten raíces culturales y lingüística comunes.

La bandera de nuestra identidad representa nuestra historia y nuestra lucha, une a todos los imazigen del mundo, y a los pueblos del norte de África: desde Siwa hasta Canarias, desde el mediterráneo hasta el río de Senegal (Tamazgha)

Los canarios, como uno de los pueblos imazighen más antiguos, lideramos, en ese Congreso histórico, la unificación de la Tamazgha y la creación de su bandera identitaria .

Los pueblos Amazigh han resistido y perdurado durante milenios, invasiones y colonizaciones incesantes (griegos, romanos , árabes... Y en la etapa moderna , europeos -franceses y españoles principalmente- y "yankees")

ⵀ★☆★ ☆ ★☆★ⵀ

La bandera Amazigh, representa la armonía de los seres humanos con su tierra.

El símbolo del hombre en rojo tiene un carácter antropomórfico, con forma humana, y ha sido conocido desde tiempos prehistóricos.

Su significado actual simboliza al pueblo Amazigh. Usado oficialmente desde que en 1966, Mohand Arav Bessaoud, fundara la Academia Amazigh .

ⵀ★☆★ ☆ ★☆★ⵀ

COLORES:

Simbolizan la costa norte de África con el Mediterráneo, el Atlántico con Canarias al Noroeste y el desierto del Sahara al sur, y su apego y su amor a su tierra.

Tienen los siguientes significados:

ⵣ☆ Banda superior azul (Amidad) : representa el mar Mediterráneo y el océano Atlantico, la costa imazighen durante milenios.

ⵣ☆ Banda central verde (Azegzaw) : significa la naturaleza y las grandes montañas (cordillera del Atlas) y tierras verdes que los imazighen han cultivado desde tiempos prehistóricos.

ⵣ☆ La banda inferior amarilla (Awragh) :

simboliza la arena del Sáhara, del desierto de la TINIRI la zona de los Tuareg, pero también la alegría y el oro o la riqueza.

ⵣ☆ El signo de la figura, a su vez, es la letra sagrada "Z" (Yas o aza) del alfabeto tifinagh (idioma Tamazigh)

En rojo, porque representa el color de la vida, pero también el color de la resistencia.

En la bandera representa el nombre dado a los Amazigh: "personas libres", que es lo que significa Amazigh (plural Imazighen).

Es el principio de vida eterna y un símbolo de la sangre de los mártires por la libertad, que defendieron y defienden su cultura y su tierra ante el colonialismo conocido (delito de lesa humanidad imprescriptible).

ⵀ★☆★ ☆ ★☆★

La bandera fue propuesta por la delegación canaria(¹), durante el Primer Congreso Mundial Amazigh, realizado los días 27, 28, 29 y 30, prolongádose hasta el 31 de Agosto de 1997 .

Al congreso acudieron representantes de los distintos pueblos del ámbito amazigh: Canarios, Rifeños, Tuaregs, Númidas, Kabilios, Chleuhs, Mozabíes Imazighen del Atlas, Soussa, Chausis, y también la diáspora amazigh estabilizada en Europa y América del Norte.

(¹) Jaime Sáenz Peñate (QPD) y Francisco Trejo Herrera , representantes de Solidaridad Canaria (S.C.) en el comité organizador, ante la ausencia de un símbolo que unificara a este pueblo milenario, con costumbres y lengua ancestrales con raíces comunes en la La Tamazgha (Norte de África) decidieron plantear en esa Primera Asamblea General, la creación de la bandera .

Se basaron en la primera propuesta oficial para que el pueblo Amazigh tuviera su propia bandera, que se hizo en el año 1971 en Roubaix (Francia) por Agraw Imazighen de la Kabilia ,como muestra cultural y de identidad.

ⵀ★☆★ ☆ ★☆★

Con mucha ilusión y éxito, fue acogida como un símbolo que , dese aquel momento, une a la comunidad Amazigh de todo el Mundo.

Fatma the redhead

Amazigh matriarch of Aures, Algeria

She rose to prominence when her two brothers declined to engage in armed conflict against the encroaching Ottoman Turks, considering it too perilous. In response, she exiled them and subsequently achieved a significant triumph in the city of Constantine."

so gotham knights connects the league of assassins to tamazight, a language spoken in north africa. not sure if that ties to anything else but since it shows up by chance during random crime scenes i figured id mention it, since i doubt many people wouldve seen that. i think ive put over 200 hours into this game and its just now cropped up

#weird little tidbit #reading up on the wiki now and its p interesting. a bit confusing but isnt everything #tamazight is included on the 'berber languages' page on wikipedia btw #gets a bit depressing as most history related to colonized and pillaged communities tend to be
