Satellite Photos Show Ancient Saharan Fortresses of a Lost Empire | 80beats | Discover Magazine

Satellite Photos Show Ancient Saharan Fortresses of a Lost Empire | 80beats | Discover Magazine | Science News | Scoop.it

New satellite images have revealed more than a hundred ancient fortified settlements still standing in the Sahara. The settlements, located in what today is southern Libya, were built by the Garamantes, a people who ruled much of the area for nearly a thousand years until their empire fragmented around 700 AD. Information about the Garamantes is relatively scarce: Other than the accounts of classical historians (who aren’t known for careful accuracy) and excavations of the Garamantian capital city in the 1960s, archaeologists haven’t had a lot to go on.
