The Kings and Generals animated historical documentary series on the ancient civilizations continues with a video on the Berbers. In this first history video out of two on the ancient origins of the North African civilization, we are going to discuss the ancient origins of the Berber tribes from the Bronze Age to the Early Medieval, when they adopted Islam en masse and then rose in a revolt against the Umayyad rule. We'll talk about the periods when the Berber culture was influenced by the Greeks, Carthage, Rome, Vandals, and Arabs.
