North Africa's Berbers

Berbers are genetically one of the oldest identifiable populations in Africa, with continuous presence since the late Paleolithic (~15–20 kya); their signature markers today are mtDNA U6 + H/V

 

50–70% of Berber maternal lines (depending on the group) belong to haplogroups that are today very common in Europe (H, H1, H3, V, U5b, plus the home-grown U6), but they are NOT from recent European migration.

mtDNA (mother-lines): A big chunk is H, H1, H3, V, and U6 — these haplogroups are common in Europe today, but in Berbers they are almost entirely from the ancient North African population that lived 15,000–30,000 years ago, not from recent European women moving south.

 

 What actually happened (current consensus):

~30–40 kya: a small founding population of early modern humans carrying basal U (and probably pre-H) lived somewhere around the Strait of Gibraltar / NW Africa–Iberia zone when the climate was still decent.

  • 25–20 kya (Last Glacial Maximum): Europe gets brutally cold → many hunter-gatherers in Iberia and southern Europe are pushed south or die out.
  • North Africa (especially Morocco, Algeria) becomes a refuge. The people who were already there (or moved in from Iberia) survive and expand.
    •  

    In that North African refuge:

    • U6 evolves locally from an ancestral U lineage.
    • The H, V, and U5b lineages that will later dominate Europe also survive and diversify in North Africa too.

     

    • After the Ice Age ends (~12–15 kya), some of these lineages back-migrate into Europe (especially into Iberia), which is why Spain, Portugal, and the Basques still have elevated U6 and very old North-African-like mtDNA today.

    So the direction was mostly Ice Age Europe → North Africa (refuge), then later North Africa → repopulating parts of Europe.

     

     Definitely linked to ''barbar'' and bal bal statues.

    MATRIA ATENA

    Image
     01. Matria wears the crown of the Universe, she sits on the throne. No one else has the crown, but her. See the Central icon of Basilica Santa Maria Maggiore, Vatican, one of the 4 most important basilicas in the world. Matria Atena sits on the throne and is the only one who wears the crown. Matria Atena is the Sole Ruler of the Universe and the Creatrix Herself. https://m4tri4.blogspot.com/2025/04/symbolism-in-iconography.html   Matria, the Empress of Life , wears the crown of the Universe. Djed Sus, the king of the dead, tries to steal it. He reaches out. She lifts both Her hands to prevent him from stealing Her crown. The war between Life = Light = Truth (Matria) and Death =darkness = false (Djed Sus). Life refuses to bow to death. The crown stays on Her head .   MATRIA = LIFE = TRUTH = LIGHT Djed Sus= DEATH = FALSE = DARKNESS. ''Risen from the dead'' = ABOVE THE REST OF THE DEAD ONES(their king) ...but a dead one nonetheless. 02. Matria = ''mother...

    Venus --XX -- ♀ -- the Symbol of Life

     Venus --XX -- ♀ -- the symbol of life.   ☥   -- An ka (in energy) and not ''ankh'.    ♀ = ☥  X = universal value. Venus rules Taurus (Anno Mundi 1) and Libra .   Venus is exalted in Pisces (universal DC ). Libra  = universal house 2 (and Terra's DC ).  DC = relationships,  others and how one relates to others . Libra  + Pisces exchange ANTISCIA (Sun's declination).  Jupiter rules Pisces.  Libra = Sun's fall (fall equinox).  Aries = Sun's exaltation (Spring time, life reborn  --Matria's season is SPRING TIME). Taurus has been on the UNIVERSAL MC for 1,500 years. Taurus is the ONLY zodiac sign shared by Matria Esh and Terra - where the two ecliptics intersect.    The royal orb -- ♀--  upside down = DEATH.  Hanging upside down from the TREE OF LIFE. When MATRIA -=  Light = Life = Truth- ''dies'' (dormition), darkness is born/reborn. The cross = headless/decapitated Orion. Terra's A...

    Secret symbolism in iconography

    Image
       https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/71/Basilica_di_Santa_Maria_Maggiore_abside_a_Roma.jpg   The icon can be found in Basilica Santa Maria Maggiore, Rome, Italy.      Matria Atena Atiati Freya sits on her throne, with her crown on the head. Ianaten sits to her left (the right register for viewers).  It is the place of Deata (Deity) in Egypt. Also note they are a couple sitting on the throne. She is the Ruler.  He has no crown. And never will, for he is a dark one, a dead one - the mistake that needs to be corrected.  At least Vikings knew Odin has an end. What did you think ''risen from the dead'' means?  He tries to take her crown = coup d'état .   Above Matria Atena's head, there are 22 white stars on a  green background. Under the throne, there are 17 white stars on a green background.  Bellatrix plus 17 degrees.  Above, there are 16 golden stars on a blue background. This appears at Gobekli Tepe,...
