@med_azouguigh الأمر كالتالي قرطا�� عدو خطير كاد أن يدمر روما للأبد لكن حدث العكس، الرومان كانو يريدون محو أثر فينقيا من على وجه الأرض و كأنهم لم يكونو و هذا ما حدث بالفعل إلى حين إعادة اكتشافها في القرن التاسع عشر.و لتبخيس الأثر الثقافي في شمال إفريقيا سمو عدوهم اللدود بربر للأبد.

@med_azouguigh هذه أحرف فينيقية. اسأل نفسك لما التصق اسم البربر على شمال إفريقيا من دون بلاد الأرض .

@aerelleo الفرنسية لغة معبرة صراحة و لغة جميلة.أرى حصرها في كيفية نطق الأعداد ينم عن جهل و عصبية.

@ValentinaForUSA 1 Corinthians 11:6 (New Testament): For if a wife will not cover her head, then she should cut her hair short. But since it is disgraceful for a wife to cut off her hair or shave her head, let her cover her head.

History’s Most Unfair Conquest: Spain’s bloody, century-long subjugation of the Canary Islands (1402–1496) wasn't just a brutal sweep it was the literal prototype for the colonization of the Americas. The Spanish rolled in with steel, horses, and European diseases to wipe out or assimilate the Guanches an isolated, Stone Age Berber population who fought back heroically with obsidian tools and rock-slings, but ultimately had zero chance against a full-scale imperial steamroller. Empires really spent centuries writing the playbook on how to steal a homeland, and the Canaries were ground zero.The surviving indigenous population was largely enslaved, assimilated, or wiped out, completely altering the genetic and cultural landscape of the islands by the 17th century #España #ceuta

The root word for "god" (l-h or ‘-l) appears across the broader Semitic language family, showing historical connections between Arabic and other ancient Middle Eastern languages:
Aramaic / Syriac: Alāhā (The term used for God in classical Aramaic, and closely related to the word used by Jesus in the New Testament, such as Eloi, Eloi).
Hebrew: El (God), Eloah (אלוה), and the plural form Elohim (אלוהים).
Historical Usage
Long before the revelation of Islam in the 7th century, the term Allah was already in use across the Arabian Peninsula:
Pre-Islamic Arabia: Arab polytheists used the name Allah to refer to the supreme creator God at the head of a pantheon of lesser tribal idols.
Monotheistic Communities: Arab-speaking Jews and Christians also used Allah to refer to the one true God centuries before the rise of Islam, a practice that continues today among Arabic-speaking Christians and Jews across the Middle East.

@magentaindigena This is absurd talk from a woman unfamiliar with the region even if part of what she said might hold some truth. You are either ignorant or feigning ignorance; it is like comparing a river to the sea.

@Kxvjya @Lukas14ub @TRobinsonNewEra @jacobfalach1 If I were a German who had spent history bearing the label of "barbarian," I would choose my words wisely.

@jl_fields03 @emailingmehdi Abd al-Malik was already gravely ill (suffering from a severe, debilitating illness, possibly poisoning or exhaustion) at the start of the battle. Too weak to ride a horse, he was carried onto the battlefield on a litter to direct his troops

The myth was so fiercely believed that over the next few decades, at least four different impostors popped up pretending to be the returned king (including a magical hermit from the Azores and a Calabrian peasant who couldn't even speak Portuguese). Even decades later, when the Duke of Braganza took the Portuguese throne back from Spain in 1640, he felt compelled to officially state he would gladly step down if King Sebastian ever returned. 
The legend outlived the empire, echoing through centuries of Portuguese literature, poetry, and even cross-cultural folklore into Brazil, keeping alive the romantic, stubborn hope that a lost golden age is just one foggy morning away.

[The Old Philosopher @Rocko272]

Unable to accept the death of their king and the sudden collapse of their global empire, the Portuguese public flatly refused to believe he was dead. Instead, a powerful folklore and messianic movement took root: 
The Hidden One: Sebastian was rechristened O Encoberto ("The Hidden One"). 
The Return on a Foggy Morning: The legend claimed he didn't die, but was magically whisked away to a secret island or hidden away by God. 
The Prophecy: It was believed that one day specifically on a misty, foggy morning King Sebastian would materialize out of the fog riding a white horse, reclaim his throne, drive out foreign oppressors, and inaugurate a glorious "Fifth Empire" of global peace and Portuguese dominance.
