He is! And I love how his documentaries are about his subject, not him. Usually, I'm not interested in celebrities at all, but if there was one I wanted to meet it would be him.
My father worked on contract in Libya in the 70's and 80's (we lived in Eastern Europe and Qaddafi did business with countries east of Iron Curtain because he didn't like USA and the West in general for political reasons). It was my dad's greatest adventure of his life and just that part of the world was so different from the gloomy, cold, miserable and poor land we came from. He never forgot it and neither did I forget all the goodies and high quality wares he either brought from Libya or was able to buy for good currencies he was paid in for the work he did in Libya, helping to build and develop its infrastructure. He also brought kilometres of photographic films to develop of everything he saw there and it was all so beautiful and exotic. He never forgot the place and had always yearned to go there again just to see it once more, and to take me with him to show me the places he saw before. He never had the chance because Qaddafi's regime fell among a violent revolution and the country had never become stable and safe enough to become a secure holiday destination. Also I've never been thrilled to spend the whole stay dressing in a complete body cover for the sake of the local sense of propriety (and, as both my parents believed, not to attract attention of any possible wrongdoers with my blonde hair and blue eyes). Don't get me wrong, he wasn't a fan of Qaddafi in a slightest bit (in fact first thing after hearing of his demise he shouted: "serves him right, that old per_ert!"), he accepted the contract offer presented to the employees of his company because people in our country were struggling with shortages of pretty much everything and he had a family with two young children and ailing and completely dependent parents to support. But he loved the place and everything about it, even though during his work there he fell from a ladder, got his head cracked and his arm broken open and had to stay in some rather dilapidated hospital and undergo long and painful physiotherapy after his return home. I think his inability to revisit Libya was one of his life's greatest regrets and that he never stopped remembering the land.
This is easily one of my most exciting documentaries. From the Mediterranean into deep Sahara and an unknown people and culture; with rock carvings and paintings even a chariot, showing that people lived here even before the Roman's!
So outstandingly made. Beautiful country, interesting people and a wonderful look at an area of the world I probably will never see in person. Thanks for sharing this excellent video online!
@@seannorton I spend a night in the zagora desert 🏜 in 2015 and another night in the mazuga desert 🏜 in 2017 in Morocco 🇲🇦. Both were organized group tours with mini vans. Hostels connected tourist from around the world visited marrakech and easily found group tours daily, I think it was 65 euro or 75 euro for 2 nights. All group tours included transportation, dinner, breakfast prepared by the Berber. I slept under the stars only needed a trench coat in April. The tour in 2015 included a traditional berber tent with western toilet! Theists were solar power !

@heath ongq we blame the white man for his laws, borders, the deceit, corruption, overthrow, genocide of 90% of our people all over the world, division of Africa among colonizer's so they could control the people, stealing our artifacts, stealing all the gold, silver and diamonds destroying scrolls, temples and synagogue changing name of people from godly names to Baal system names,..even the Pharaohs and cities names were changed. A lot of our names are Roman, Greek or Babylonian after their god's. Then you bring in a white Jesus ('...sus-- son of Zeus) 500 years ago, ioesus 1800 years ago, then Christos 300bc with the Ptolemaic period. The Europeans used Sunday school books and commentaries and miseducation through their school system: teaching slaves discipline, white supremacy, wrong words and meaning thru the Wikipedia and Webster dictionaries and made up white history while digging up, destroying, changing images and etc.. .
Gaddafi could have made Libya and its people one of the richest countries in education instead of spending their money in feeding conflicts and foreign wars.

Fine documentary. I do take issue with one point: Leptis was founded by neither the Greeks nor the Romans, but rather by the Phoenicians, later absorbed into the Carthaginian Empire. It was a Phoenician/Punic city for the first 500 years or so... Roman Leptis was originally just an expansion of conquered Punic Leptis, which was not mentioned in this film. Otherwise, very enjoyable.

I wish these types of videos would let us know the damn temperature, wind velocity; look at them: looks like desert heat but they're all wearing parkas like they're in .......Canada.........in November.
Dwight St John average weather in the winter drops to 15-20 during day time and even colder at night time in Libya especially in the desert and some parts of Libya for instance like Ontario’s winter vs Albertas
this brings back memories of my Morocco Sahara visits, the wedding tribe looks very similar to the Beber on the Moroccan side, wearing similar indigo turbans. If you want to experience spending a night in the Sahara desert, you can joint a group van tour from Marrakesh. It's not going to be the Libya Sahara, but it's very similar and it's actually one of Morocco's tourist attractions with camel rides & dinner, the Berber who work with tourist all speak English. I have seen a different documentary on Tunisia, they also have well preserved Roman ruins along their coast, too bad tourism is not common there lately. Edit: April 2021 I accidentally re watch this, because I like all the Sahara documentary 🙂 I am now updating the similarity among another tribe = the Nubian in Aswan and Luxor Egypt. During my visit to Egypt in September 2021, I accidentally wondered into a midnight Nubian wedding in Aswan and got to made a short video of it. The men & women dance separately, wearing similar long coat in white same dance move , horizon line holding hands, even during covid19 without mask. The ladies also made similar noises with their lips and jumped up celebrating a day before in thie Nubian home. I was a like lost on the Elephant Island, looking for my hostel. The tiny island in the middle of Nile river, everyone was attending the Wedding at midnight! . You can find d the wedding short videos on my TH-cam channel on my profile 🙂
Roman Republic nor Empire army never used Chariots… too expensive and they can’t carry much… one or two people max and a few spears or an Archer. You would see them in Rome but used for more ceremonies… like a victory parade. That one at the end could be Egyptian.. they visited around the area…. 3000 to 500 BC (before Chariots demise). When Roman invaded England, the leaders of the Britains used chariots but the Romans laughed since they stopped being used 600 years earlier. Chariot Racing is old school… a Roman way to look back 900 years to their origins of Old Greek fighting… Trojan War of 1050 BC. ROMANS descended from Troy Refugee is legend .
Phenomenal documentary as usual. The 'Blues' origin? I can see it. how many African Americans know of this particular piece of history? And who was 'trading' in humans.
You have to know, back in the days slave market in Africa was not based on the skin colour, but it was based on the stronger tribes selling the weaker ones... Don't really know who was buying though
If Ghadamas grew as a large city thosands years ago it must have had a source of water sufficient to maintain its place as a crossroads for trade routes. People tend to equate present regional conditions to those centuries ago leading to unrealistic ideas such as imagining riding chariots through these rough lands. on another theme, notice the similitude of the name Ghadamas to Ghadaffi. Cyrenaica and Tripolitania were names given until some 70 years to thre territory know as Lybia, no libea as some child wrote.
I think he and the guide like each other. I'm sensing chemistry between them. It seems like they're flirting a little. The brother looks like a pit bull you don't want to mess with. lol

@@SisyphusJP I doubt it, unless he converted to Islam.
I love the thumbnail with Johnny Bravo lol. If nothing else, that alone deserves a thumbs up 😄
I wish these types of videos would let us know the damn temperature, wind velocity; look at them: looks like desert heat but they're all wearing parkas like they're in .......Canada.........in November.
Dwight St John average weather in the winter drops to 15-20 during day time and even colder at night time in Libya especially in the desert and some parts of Libya for instance like Ontario’s winter vs Albertas
Great "Hollywood" chemistry, I almost wish they drive off into the sun together ❔😜😀😁
And get suntan all over?🥴
People like you are the reason they chaperone those women :P
If she's Muslim, she'd be forbidden to be with a non Muslim. Maybe her family would let if he converted?
Best Journalist
Wonderful documentary of Libya
wow i love this
Incredible video👌💕😇 Thanks millions!!!!
Well done!
this brings back memories of my Morocco Sahara visits, the wedding tribe looks very similar to the Beber on the Moroccan side, wearing similar indigo turbans. If you want to experience spending a night in the Sahara desert, you can joint a group van tour from Marrakesh. It's not going to be the Libya Sahara, but it's very similar and it's actually one of Morocco's tourist attractions with camel rides & dinner, the Berber who work with tourist all speak English. I have seen a different documentary on Tunisia, they also have well preserved Roman ruins along their coast, too bad tourism is not common there lately.
Edit: April 2021
I accidentally re watch this, because I like all the Sahara documentary 🙂 I am now updating the similarity among another tribe = the Nubian in Aswan and Luxor Egypt. During my visit to Egypt in September 2021, I accidentally wondered into a midnight Nubian wedding in Aswan and got to made a short video of it. The men & women dance separately, wearing similar long coat in white same dance move , horizon line holding hands, even during covid19 without mask. The ladies also made similar noises with their lips and jumped up celebrating a day before in thie Nubian home. I was a like lost on the Elephant Island, looking for my hostel. The tiny island in the middle of Nile river, everyone was attending the Wedding at midnight! . You can find d the wedding short videos on my TH-cam channel on my profile 🙂
i just watched it ur channel is really cool!

this guy is great
Roman Republic nor Empire army never used Chariots… too expensive and they can’t carry much… one or two people max and a few spears or an Archer. You would see them in Rome but used for more ceremonies… like a victory parade. That one at the end could be Egyptian.. they visited around the area…. 3000 to 500 BC (before Chariots demise). When Roman invaded England, the leaders of the Britains used chariots but the Romans laughed since they stopped being used 600 years earlier. Chariot Racing is old school… a Roman way to look back 900 years to their origins of Old Greek fighting… Trojan War of 1050 BC. ROMANS descended from Troy Refugee is legend .
Africans had Chariots there for thousands of years before the Romans! Great video! The west has destroyed Libya unfortunately!
@@moscuadelendaest 😂 another idiotic comment
The West destroyed Leptis Magna?
Great work.
Phenomenal documentary as usual. The 'Blues' origin? I can see it. how many African Americans know of this particular piece of history? And who was 'trading' in humans.
You have to know, back in the days slave market in Africa was not based on the skin colour, but it was based on the stronger tribes selling the weaker ones... Don't really know who was buying though
If Ghadamas grew as a large city thosands years ago it must have had a source of water sufficient to maintain its place as a crossroads for trade routes. People tend to equate present regional conditions to those centuries ago leading to unrealistic ideas such as imagining riding chariots through these rough lands. on another theme, notice the similitude of the name Ghadamas to Ghadaffi. Cyrenaica and Tripolitania were names given until some 70 years to thre territory know as Lybia, no libea as some child wrote.
Great documentary
I think he and the guide like each other. I'm sensing chemistry between them. It seems like they're flirting a little. The brother looks like a pit bull you don't want to mess with. lol
Awesome 🎥🎬 😎
