Erről a lapról:

"First of all, the Libyan Amazons were located in that part of Africa where the Berber peoples lived and still live. The Berbers are supposed to be aborigines.

The Berbers call themselves »AMAZIGH« in their language. There is definitely a strong similarity between the words »AMAZON« and »AMAZIGH«.

A further astonishing fact is the preeminent position of women in Berber society, though it depends to which extent the Berbers were absorbed by the Arabs. For about 1300 years the Berber peoples were threatened and in fact for the most part conquered and at last absorbed by Arab invaders.
There was a significant historical event at the first Arab invasion about 700 A.D. It was a female Berber leader named Kahina, who very successfully put up a fierce resistance to the Arab conquerors and even succeeded in driving them back, though in the end she was defeated and lost her life! Kahina led her life in the tradition of famous Amazon queens like Penthesilea. Isn't it very plausible that she was a descendant of the famous Libyan Amazons?

But the conquest of the Berber peoples was rather complete, so only the most secluded tribes have preserved their unique Berber culture.

Nevertheless there are still amazing connections between today's life of the Berbers and the tradition of the Amazons. So there are fascinating Berber fortresses which have a strong resemblance to the picture of the Themiskyra fortress on a Greek vase. The conformity of tower battlements on both representations is very remarkable! "

Íme a Wikipedia szócikke a berberekről:

Én ebben említést sem találtam az állítólagos Kahina királynőről.

Persze lehet, hogy a Wiki nem elég alapos:)

"There was a significant historical event at the first Arab invasion about 700 A.D. It was a female Berber leader named Kahina, who very successfully put up a fierce resistance to the Arab conquerors and even succeeded in driving them back, though in the end she was defeated and lost her life! "

Röviden: Kr. u. 700 körül a berber törzseknek volt egy Kahina nevű királynőjük vagy női vezérük, aki rendkívül erős és sikeres ellenállást alakított ki az arab hódítók ellen.

Átmenetileg vissza is szorította az arabust, de végül vereséget szenvedett és maga is elesett.
