The Imazighen (singular Amazigh), also known as the Berbers, are among the original peoples of North Africa. Their myths, legends, and history span 9,000 years, dating back to the Proto‑Mediterraneans. They have preserved their unity by maintaining their unique language and culture, which—like their homeland—are both African and Mediterranean.
