Libya was my first love. My papa was posted there with the British army. My first 9 years of life in the 50's & 60's. By the age of 16 months I had learnt to swim in the Mediterranean of course. I can still feel the sand under my feet. My memories of Libya will never fade. I love you .
Where did it truely go wrong... year 66 mh 17
Lucky you 😀
Hello from USA..
This white man is the newest people on our planet,this is why they are so fascinated with our planet and culture cause they don't have any culture.
@@carlsanford3862 Wow racist much , actually everyone got a culture bruh so relax
My Dada, may he rest in peace, used to work in Libya from the 70`s till the 90`s. He loved it there and had a lot of respect for Cl Gadaffi. He said it was a very beautiful country.
hello
My father also worked there from 1970 and stayed there till 2014, and now he is 74 years young ☺️, and came back in North Macedonia when we actually live. I’m sorry for your dad, may he rest in peace.
Libya 🇱🇾🇱🇾🇱🇾🇱🇾🇱🇾
yes sure. rich. but Usa. with Obama. and France. and Europe. ..USA. SLAVE..KILLED THE BIG RAIS GHEDDAFY...
My parents were there in the sixties and early seventies and we all felt the same way! I went to Tripoli and lived and worked there for two years.
Traveled through this beautiful country in 1977, and I loved it. Used to be a prosperous country and it makes my cry to see it ruined and lawless.
Vote republican!!!
Israel's doings. Wake up world.
Clinton killed Gahdafi because he was trying to get his country and the rest of Africa off of the gold standard...
@@RocketGator05 she was secretary of state, why absolve Obama of the guilt? also Ghadafi should have been more shrewd
Thank AMERICA for that…
This has been one of the best presentations I have seen for a long time. Thankyou for making this and briefly transporting me to Libya.
For a single mum who’s never gotten to go anywhere... David Adams is living my dream! God bless him for sharing it with us. As well as sharing the incredible history the textbooks miss. 🙏
This Libya does not exist anymore. Died with Benghazi 😢
All right to take you around the world
wow you are gorgeous, and some day you will get that trip
Want to see places?
@Donnell Okafor no. I made the choice to be a married mom. But then I became a single mom. And then I did the right thing. So... shhhh about things you know nothing about. Ya?
I was born in Libya and lived there for the first fourteen years of my life. I am surprised that I never managed to travel into the desert or saw this side of the country. Like the vast majority of Libyans and expatriates, I and my family confined myself to the relatively narrow fertile coastal strip. I wish Libyans all the best in their future.
There were no travel restrictions except those imposed by fear. I manged to see this including Lepsis Magna with very little interference or obstacle. A beautiful country.
@@TerryTerryTerry He didn't say there were travel restrictions. Just said they stayed in the coastal area.
They need to change their mind don't kill Christian
Enjoyed this documentary thoroughly. Good script, fantastic cinematography. Kudos to the team who made this journey and sharing with the world the wonders of Libya. It opened my eyes. Thank you.
My beautiful country. Thank you for showing the true Libya❤️
This was an can still be a beautiful country. I'm wishing the very best for you Libya
After NATO destroyed it and killed its leader, and putted their puppet politicians I do not think it will
Worked as nurse in libya for 13 years. Still there during the rev. But later came back home.people are nice there.cannot forget beauty of libya and the people.been a good part of my carrier as nurse and friends.. i will never forget.
that's nice of you to say. thanks
Libya was a paradise...
I love it.
So u were a nurse who threats the wounded black slaves??? I see
@@kuchojoe500 lybua shithole
Hi Ms. Arcelie. I had a co-nurse who worked in Libya pre-civil war. Lots of Filipino nurses work there.
It’s heartbreak too see what has happened to Libya now 😞
I lived Tripoli from early Jan. of '68 to mid August of '73. I saw everything. By the time I left at 12 years old my head was hard as a rock.
Sad to say Kaddafi was actually good for Libya and Saharan Africa.
All thanks to one mr. Obama ,the suppose Black god... (who does no wrong therefore can't be criticise) ...sad
@@kofiadomako7523 Exactly! Traitor 44!!
i don't see the difference. it's people are still living in dusty ruins and it's still a shithole.
I would not have known the existence of this ancient civilization without your documentary. Thank you very much!!!
Europe created the borders in Africa. Libya was part of ancient Egypt
@@jabaltariq4606 not it wasn't
@@jabaltariq4606 it barely had any people let alone contact lmfao so stupid
i think we're really watching a story of two people from different worlds and cultures falling in love
I was thinking the same, but around 24:00 he breaks the news to her that he is already married. Oh well...
@@margomargo2 he said that he's still unmarried
Imagine two people being friendly, smiling, trading stories without having sex 🤷♂️🤦♂️
@@NoNopeAndNo imagine two people doing it wrong by not doing it? hrmm..interesting
Stop the cap
I lived in Libya as a child in the 70s because my dad worked there. It remains to this day the most beautiful place I've ever seen. Wonderful people, amazing food, a genuine melting pot that retains aspects of all the many peoples that have passed through over the centuries. Still own a bracelet with the hamsa on it that an old lady gave me when I was maybe 5 or 6 years old. It's not possible at the moment, and may not be for a while, but some day I will go back. Please don't be afraid of Libya or of Libyans - things are hard right now but they've lived through war many times before, and this too shall pass. When it does, go there if you can.
Hi , the situation in Libya is fine and getting better now and tourists began to come back, you're welcome to Libya once again
The more I watch this documentaries the more I get interested in ancient history
This breaks my heart. My North African Brothers now live in despair and in war. The most beautiful people
bruh... propaganda at it's finest
Thanks for bringing back a lot of memories. I lived in Tripoli 1955-57 and loved it. King Idris was the ruling monarch, no Ghadafi. Tripoli and the larger area known as Tripolitania had three major cities, Leptis Magna, Oea, which is now the old city in Tripoli, and the last of the three was Sabaratha. One of my best friends was Ahmed benGassem Shehoup, a Berber. He was like an older brother. Again, thank you for your video. Truly great.
You were there when I was born I was there from 1978 Jan until 1989 it was beautiful the best country look now what happened to it
Mike Bennett it’s great to know you are well must be 90 yrs old like my dad
I also lived in Tripoli around 1955 to 1957. We lived in Colina Verde, just outside the city. I attended the BMS (British Military School) and visited Sabrather and Leptis Magna. I was there when Pepsi first arrived and built a bottling plant. My parents and I would drive into the city and visit the markets on a weekend. I have many pleasant memories of Libya and it's people.
Thanks 🙏 brother
@@HisMajestysava nice
Muammar Gaddafi was a good leader, they should have left him alone.
So sad what has happened, making Libya suffer.
Yes, I felt so sad about what Clinton allowed to happen in that country. My country (The United States) was so wrong because Gaddafi did so much good for his country, but now they are not doing so well. Gaddafi wanted to help Africa and if they left him alone he would have helped Africa a lot.
Gaddafi and Saddam Hussein stopped using the US dollar, aka the Petro Dollar, to trade oil on OPEC as all oil traded on OPEC has to be traded using US dollars. Instead Gaddafi and Hussein used their own currencies which were backed by gold and silver. Well that doesn’t sit too well with the criminal banking and global elites, so they planned to eliminate those leaders. The only two countries not controlled or enslaved by the IMF to date, is North Korea and Syria. And we know how that’s been going. It’s enraging how these sadistic criminals terrorize, enslave, and kill innocent people for their never ending lust of absolute control and greed. The official stories the gov and media pump out to justify their killing sprees are nothing but lies, but they have control of what the people hear and see, and they know how to sell their war propaganda.
Muammar Gaddafi died as one of the worlds richest people. He ruled a country with 40% unemployment and only gave the people of Libya the crumbs of the oil revenues.
He was not a good leader.
@@fasiistyrer you do not know what are you talking about Libya is rich land and poor people why? Because of Ghaddafi
@@jbhann Absolutely true....don't mess with the cash....you'll write your own death warrant.
Believe or not Africa is mysterious land , first land with every types of natural presentation. Viva Africana
Yes, the CONTINENT of " AFRICA " is the home of the ORIGINAL HUE- MAN
BEING.THE FIRST HUE- MAN.
the destruction of lybia and the killing of Gheddafi is one of the worst crime that happened under our eyes
Agreed. Horrific crime by the U.S, U.K. and France.
@Three SixNine except that you would not think holy Obama and his friend H Clinton would have done it. yet they did and today the present themselves as the Christs on Earth
Yes, because bombing embassies, planes killing the innocent plus annexation of neighbouring countries is TOTALLY LEGAL and HUMANE. 👍😒
Forgotten Lockerbie and flight 103 already eh? Ya’ll are a real piece of work.
Thankfully Hillary didn't get elected or her global queen desires would have left many such places in ruining. Not to mention she threatened first strike nukes on iran & Russia
The cinematography is truly a work of art: really amazing and awesome. Thank you so very much!
This was absolutely amazing ! Grateful for this beautiful documentary !
Not a single boring moment...amazing documentary taking one through the sands of time. Kudos from the USA!
What a Legend of a reporter. Always intriguing to listen to.
Watching this, it breaks my heart to think what a few greedy men have done to this country and are now doing to the rest of the world
Obama, Clinton, Biden
@@bonnndegwa9035 you are some kind of stupid.
@@bonnndegwa9035 And Sarkozy
They just had more power over the populations. Going back to the 1100’s & earlier, this place was mean, oppressive and authoritative. The people that rule over these lands have always been smart - they’re just more shrewd and better at political operations now. Using the exact same instincts. ‘Nice’ people become part of the dirt here. Greedy/shrewd ones survive and reproduce. They see kidnapping and ransom as a totally natural source of income. I would love to go here and trek through the Zahara but I would almost certainly die. My spine would be part of a necklace. The rest would become part of the sand and wind. 🌵 🐫
@@guyparris4871 Indeed. His is just a fraction of a much larger list to include handlers/acolytes and governments globally.
Most intriguing narrative. I loved it. One never realised that there are so many beautiful sides of Libya.
Thanks 🙏 for such great video,I hope you enjoyed your time in my country Libya 🇱🇾 ,thanks for all positive comments from ppl around the world 🌎
It is an awesome pleasure to walk down the forgotten past with the relics of history garnished with spellbound narrative.Thanks to the entire team for the excavation of the splendid Africa.
Thank you David Adams for this absolutely wonderful documentary of the southern extents of the Roman Empire, and its chariot use. And also a glimpse into the current people and life in north central Africa! An old and proud culture there. What an interesting adventure that must have been!
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to see part of earth where we would not get the chance to see
here! here! I will drink a toast to that
😃
Damn.. My heart goes out to Libya.. The powers that be (west) destroyed it.. And continue to destory, rob and murder the innocent people of Africa..
Anyway it's a black man build it . We build it.... 🇹🇿
Why don't people question the areas we can't enter :( im not a terrorist nor do I ever want to hurt anyone at all, I just wanna travel and unlock this world's secrets before I die and it's upsetting that some places ban visitors it's crazy
What an absolutely stunning and beautiful place....true trekking....to the very edge of our history...loved every minute of this.
One of the best travel documentaries, I’ve ever seen !!
This guy makes a great documentary. I saw another one he made about the Tuareg that I highly recommend.
Thank you for taking us on this journey.
Libiya a beautiful land with exotic culture and history.
Sir Adams is the best story teller .
I can't have enough of this Tuareg people, they make the best sounds
hello
Very well made documentary. I like how Adams interacted with the locals. A beautiful picture of the people of Libya, its culture, and landscapes!
Libya was one of the best country in the world and look at now.
Yes the USA destroyed them
Hillary's cackles.
Yes a place where her citizens had much to live for Infact no one slept hungry there everyone had living allowance Money new cars for libyans an advance set light for communication in Africa countries Gaddaffi even used to give Some African Countries money for free all what he wanted was to see United States of Africa.
One of the best countries in the world??? Dude, The woman in the film, was a slave who could not make it out of the city without permission from her parents! And she was and adult woman! Its slavery! So no...
@@MrUncleDunkel
How do you know?.are you living
In that country? Or what!!!
It is not only forbiden Lybia but a forbiden romance, great vídeo man, tks.
Najat would be a curiosity anywhere on earth. What an absolute beauty.
Thank you David Addams and Tracks! That was a spectacular documentary! The Libyan desert, Long stretch of Beach, Roman Ruins and Rock Paintings are so beautiful and Interesting.

Traveling for one or couple of weeks and living month after month middle in the Sahara absolutely different experience. Due to work purposes I had that opportunity to experience. Once in a lifetime opportunity. Unforgettable. Most of the places shown in this wonderful documentary I had been to. Hit the memory like just yesterday. Insha'allah I'll visit again...to see those places and my friends...
Amazing place full of desert. Beautiful land scape. People live in remote place which is far away from urbanization & civilization.
They are tribes & survive lives on natural resources.
Lovely information. Good cinematography.
Thanks for ur endeavour to enlighten world from awesome place
A wonderful and adventurous journey in such a huge desert of the Sahara. Thank you all for the interesting and very difficult work of making this video. God bless your work.
Could you imagine if he had 4K back then?
A very fascinating documentary, evoking the memory of old National Geographic programmes of my childhood. The narration, the photography...everything is top-notch. It really makes me want to visit the beautiful country. Thanks for uploading.
I was born in Tripoli...father worked from Benghazi...I would love to visit my birthplace but never will, so thank you for this interesting documentary.
She's beautiful... No wonder the brother had to accompany them.... He reminds me of a young Gordon Ramsey...
when the guy says he's married the woman seem changed her mood..
Thank you for educating me, the views are absolutely incredible
Revolution Tower, Fatah. I worked in Al Zawiya for 3 years, during Gaddafi's time, we Romanians were privileged by the Libyans, and now we are. I visited Ghadames, because in my task, as an electrician, I had to control the cathodic protection pipeline, with oil coming from El Sharara to Hamada and ending in Zawiya, at Repsol Oil operation, now Akakaus oil operation
Its amazing the history of that place. Great documentary. It made me feel like I was there too!!
I LOVE YOUR FILMING OFDOCUMENTARY OF LIBYA I REMBER DURING MY TIME LIVING THERE FOR TEN YEARS AS AHOSPITAL STAFF IN TRIPOLI LIBYA ....REALLY ILOVE IT...MORE POWER TO YOU .....
thanks for uploading , it was an amazing full house , history , drama and romance.
Fabulous documentary. I learned something every 5 minutes. Thank you for sharing this amazing video
Thankyou so much for this wonderful and insightful documentary. It went at a lovely pace and really had respect for the people.
Well shot, well edited and well organized informative documentary. Feels like watching a movie. Background music very soothing and pertinent to that territory. Kudos!
Lybia was beautiful and prosperous under Khadaffi. Now, it is a hellhole.
Because of Obama and Hillary Clinton
This is from an Aussie and I know you are right
JRSinCT I think Gorge Bush.
Libya will be back strong and shining and beautifull...peace to honorable libyans..
@@zaqwertyfish and sarkosy the criminal..
The car got so quite after the brother arrived 😂
The look on the narrator's face when bro climbed in was priceless!ROFLMAO ✌😸
Yeah....if my little sister told me she was going to travel for two weeks alone in the desert with a man she'd just met, "chaperone" would have been my solution too. Right after the background check.
Not that I'd act any differently if it was my little brother either.... 20-something kids have all gotten a lot stupider in the last ten years, I swear... =_=
Wonder if he got his end away
of course it did she don't want to be stone to death or probably be-headed for been accused of acting too loose (U now what I mean) around a foreign man.
Lol!!!
Fascinating documentary! Beautiful country and landscape. If I was young I would want to travel here to sightsee and learn more about it's history and the people.
Thanks for your nice documentary. My father worked there during the years 1976-1982
at various irrigation projects. He used to speak with respect about Libya and its people.
And I thank you for allowing me to see the country I was born in. My dad was stationed at Wheelus air Force Base in Tripoli where I was born in 1954.
You’re libyan by nationality 😌
Thank you ever so much!! This is wonderful!!
This is a very educational and beautiful video. It makes me want to go there too!
Now i can travel around the world in sixty seconds through my phone..what a small world now is..thanks for the video
I really enjoyed this the hosts winning personality makes it great.Finding the ancient cave drawing at the last, was quite interesting.
the elders respected him and that says everything about the goodness of his intent.
Well done , cheerio!
Wow ! Thank you for this ! One of the best docs I've seen !!!
Love History,Libya is wonderful City,Their land is an Ancient City.
Libya is a country
Wow, so beautiful and diverse. Man I'd love to travel thru there and experience these different cultures. Libya you are not forgotten.
And that was an awesome documentary.learned alot and enjoyed it to the end.lots of things we are not thought in the classroom
Very interesting informative and educative historical journey across Sahara Desert 👏☣️👌🏽
Always been interested in Libya and looked it up but this is just absolutely amazing and beautiful. Thank you.
The old modern Libya reminds me a lot Egypt, wish I could turn back time and visit a peaceful Libya.
What a lovely track! 💜💜
Welcome u here! 🇱🇾🇱🇾
This was fascinating. A journey I would have loved to experience. I lived in southern Egypt for a while and love exploring the ancient cultures, nature and history. The Sahara is a special place ✨✨🥰
hello
Believe it or it is a barbaric culture of dehumanizing and enslaving others.
Brilliant! Thought provoking and beautifully put together
Fabulous! Thank you for showing us this.
Wonderful documentary,well done,beautiful scenery! I really enjoyed this video and learned so m7ch about Libya
What a fantastic adventure, thank you for sharing!
I wish if you visited the east side of the country, you will see all of Libyan colors in one side the east ,exactly in Benghazi. the southern east is so much rich of folklore, history places , beautiful old building and Oases , I hope you do a series on Libya soon.
Oh Leptis Magna Ive been there, so beautiful ,a place that I only see in books and movies, it was an amazing experience.
Assalamu alaikum
Fantastic country, people, diverse cultures. More please. ♥️
It was a fantastic work! Thank you guys for sharing this!
This was a great watch. Huge thanks to the makers. I am so happy to see you Libyans so proud of your country and focusing on rebuilding. I am only ashamed my own country, Norway, was one of the countries that dropped the most bombs in 2011. :'( Our then PM is now...you all know I'm sure.
What a disaster ,the west left Libya torn to pieces ,but like yourself I was totally against turning this beautiful country and their people to rubble ,very sad and wrong
We do not blame the people and we know that the decision makers in the world are just a gang
Fantastic, bringing this wonder to the public. Amazing stuff
l mourn my country. Rich with history and cultures .. a beautiful land ( you only have seen a faction of it in this documentary).
Sadly ..as a state, Libya has been destroyed.
I am so sorry for the destruction of this country and the suffering of its people.
I have wanted to see your country very, very much.
I too and sorry for what u and ur people have had to endure such a sad state of being that make us kill on another xx
Yes I know as I worked for a few months in Libya just before the "revolution". Many from my family had been in Libya for many years and couldn't believe what was happening there. Libya was to many Maltese a second home. Anyone who spent time in Libya knew that what was being said about Gaddafi where lies.
my heart goes out to you.
Fantastically fascinating....peeping into the amazing history of long foregone times....Thank U David !!
Beautiful video!!! I love Lybia!!! Thank you so much for sharing this video. Fraternal regards from Mexico City.
This is an amazing documentary. It had to have been shot before 2011, yet it looks like it was shot yesterday. The blonde man is David Adams and I love his documentaries that are always entertaining and informative.
more like 1990s
Libya my home country 😞 🐫 🐫 🌍 🇱🇾
Side note: There’s definite chemistry between both the interpreter and the reporter😂.
Definitely lol
I was going to say this became a romance film instead of a documentary. bet they have kids now lol
@@patrickhaupt3678 It looked like something happened half way through as the flirting stopped towards the end however that may have just been me and my imagination thinking of the various scenarios 😂😂😂. I enjoyed it though because it didn’t make the document seem so serious 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
@@muhammadmota6141 I made it almost to the end. just that scene in the car where they are talking about being single late in life. They both seem interested it was funny like kids dating

A Master piece Documentary on the Ancient Civilization of Libya 🇱🇾
9:45 Thumbs up if you think the translator is gorgeous.
I was expecting the translator to be a guy.
Her brother is handsome
Not just the translator but most of the people and the English man too!
All handsome Englishmen are actually Australian 😊
The host obviously thinks so lol. He is smitten
Wow. Beautiful landscape
Brilliant! I worked and lived here for a while and know many of these places well. Great video!
Very nice documentary. Well presented as well. Hope Libya will be peacefull and prosperous country again
Wow and thankyou, what a beautiful country.
This guy was so smitten by the beautiful lady..good thing the brother tagged along.
She was married as well as him. Smiling and kindness are the things we should do without always thinking and looking for the worse in humanity. Good people still exist.
This may have been the case, as the case when any man meets a beautiful woman, it doesnt mean he wants to bed her, nothing is wrong with smiling at a beautiful person! Going out to the desert for a lady with a bunch of strangers might not be the safest, so the brother is there to back her up if anything goes wrong, it is her first time going out there....
Yes, he would have been doing that if the brother wasn't there.
Even I was smitten by the lady
Do you guys try to bed any woman you find pretty! I mean people smile even at beautiful cars.... yes chemicals are there, but luckily we arent like animals, we are civilised and got social rules that we all understand..
A lot of good things have already been said about this documentary, but I have to add that the brother-as-chaperone really cracked me up. The traveller and the guide lady really had chemistry!
An amazing trip. A beautiful documentary.
Thankyou ,so much for sharing this adventure with us. You have really opened my eyes to a part of the World, that `i could only dream of visiting.
Such lovely people and so welcoming. I am also glad that you shared the wonderful cave art that you sought.
Banksy.... Eat your heart out, mate.
Keep painting the balloons lad.
And I hope your Millions don't go wasted on the trivia of the 21st Century.
You will notice that the paintings came without a Tag.
Their importance is that they are there... and the individuals that painted them need not leave a Signature.
They represent real Human activity who tell so much more than a couple , embracing, while looking at their mobile phones, un noticed by their partners. Like your chewing gum for the Brain...
Ppffftt...
Great doco Dave, especially of the Akakus mts. Reminds me of some desolate mountain ranges of the Aussie desert with its massive sandstone formations, overhangs and indigenous/aboriginal very ancient rock art.
First time viewer and now a subbie, gud onya mate 👍🏽
