Untitled[edit]

Does not their decline, c.6th century AD, coincide closely with the collapse of the western Roman empire, especially completely after the reign of eastern Emperor Justinian ? 66.235.26.150 (talk) 20:56, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

More information here: History of the Arabs in the Sudan by Sir H. MacMichael, around p. 32. Esp. connexions with the Noba people and 'current' (ie, 19th c.) distribution, which this article lacks. -LlywelynII (talk) 16:27, 20 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Maternus[edit]

Who is Maternus the chronicler? I can't find anything on such a guy. Stevebritgimp (talk) 14:18, 10 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Another source[edit]

This article on ScienceCodex.com, summarizes some research done last year by the University of Leicester, mapping via satellite and a ground survey an extensive, highly built-up civilization that flourished "between AD 1-500," including large, fortified buildings, residential quarters, and a agricultural areas. Maybe someone with more time and/or interest would like to incorporate the data into the article? I'm just swamped right now with R/L, myself. --Eliyahu S ^Talk 18:24, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

[4] is based on Wikipedia.

[5] doesn't appear to support the claim.

[6] doesn't support the claim.

[7] doesn't appear to support the claim.

[8] doesn't support the claim that they settled in the Fezzan region by at least 3500 BC.

If the IP disagrees with the above, they are more than welcome to quote the exact sentences that support whatever claim they are attributing to these sources. M.Bitton (talk) 22:23, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@M.Bitton "Garamantes settled in fezzan by 3500 bce." 165.16.20.39 (talk) 22:28, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@M.Bitton and why aren't they reliable edu academia is reliable. 165.16.20.39 (talk) 23:26, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Before we discuss their reliability, we must first establish that they support the claim that you are attributing to them. Please follow the above format and quote the relevant info from each one of them. M.Bitton (talk) 08:10, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@M.Bitton you still didn't read my explanation neither did you say is it reliable or not you ignored it. 165.16.20.39 (talk) 15:25, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@M.Bitton at least read my respond 165.16.20.39 (talk) 15:56, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What exactly am I supposed to read and why do you refuse to quote the relevant info (as asked)? M.Bitton (talk) 16:46, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@M.Bitton not to explanation I left for each source on your talk page. 165.16.20.39 (talk) 16:49, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You left nothing on my talk page and in any case, it's here that you are supposed to quote the relevant info. So, for the love of god, please do that and stop wasting my time with your irrelevant requests. M.Bitton (talk) 16:50, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@M.Bitton i left them in your talk page. becuase I wasn't able to write here but okay "According to Prof. Fabrizio Mori, who with his excavations in that area had discovered a mummy dating back to 3500 BC," according to origin if the Garamantes. by academia edu 165.16.20.39 (talk) 16:53, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You're not making sense. Please follow the above format (leave the source in question and the quote next to it). M.Bitton (talk) 16:55, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@M.Bitton the source for that is origins of the Garamantes i can't put the link but its on academia.edu 165.16.20.39 (talk) 16:57, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm in no mood to play games, so either you put as much effort as I did or you find yourself another hobby. M.Bitton (talk) 16:58, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Script section[edit]

I quickly read through the article, and when I came to the Script section at the bottom of the page, I couldn't help noticing the numbers '67', '68', and '69' embedded in the text of the quote. I wondered about deleting them, as they don't help with clarity of reading, and do not appear to reference anything else - but hesitated as they might mean something important (since the article is semi-protected). Can they be deleted, or do they mean something (in which case, can that meaning be made clearer?) Constantinople76 (talk) 05:49, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

1500 bc Possible ?[edit]

@M.Bitton Sorry but using Visual edit doesn't usually show page. Okay I can write the sources and their quotes. The Sahara book says "Although settling in Homeland Libya around 1500 Bc". Middle East And Africa "in Approximately 1500. The Garamantes introduced Chariots" and I can't remember the what the other sources say. But I hope this is enough Jake106meme (talk) 17:41, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Jake106meme: while the quotes would help, the page numbers are still important for verifiability. Please add the important part of what those sources say to the article's body (the lead can be amended later). BTW, the book published by LULU is WP:SPSe, so please don't use it. M.Bitton (talk) 18:01, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. But for verification the two books I got the quotes from are not from that published company or publisher right. Jake106meme (talk) 19:39, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
