It is difficult for westerners to realize that North Africa, including many of these towns, competed with the Romans so long ago that there was no Islam or Christianity at that time. Carthage itself competed with Rome for four hundred years or so. Hannibal of that city state was the one that crossed the Alps with their elephants to attack Rome. North Africa had economic and political power houses just like the north side of the Mediterranean Sea but our study of history has left much of that out. Thank you for your ex-pat insights. Too bad so many Americans never experience the world.
Never got to go there but traveled to many other parts of Libya. One of me favorite overseas assignments! Great Job!
Thank, it is a good video and enjoyed watching good memories of working in Libya.
Yes I enjoyed the memories as well. Unfortunately, I lost alot of video and photos due to hard drive crash.
As always, my wife and I always enjoy your videos. No matter where you go or have been.
Thanks for watching
It seems you came around to a lot of places that no one from us will ever see, thanks for showing !
Yes, I have been very fortunate to experience the things that I have so much enjoyed.
