Experiencing Libya – An Oasis For Archaeology Aficionados
There are people who like to take vacations to sit by the pool or the beach, sipping drinks. There are others that go on trips to shop and eat and maybe visit a museum or two. Still, there are even more people who go on vacations to delve into a culture and its history, to experience firsthand the sort of past that the people of a country have. These explorers might enjoy a cocktail at the beach, but history is their strong point, and they want to go experience some. The African Nation Of Libya is a paradise to these sorts of people. Chock full of archaeological sites and other evidence of our earliest ancestors, Libya has tons of places to explore. However, you will need passports to travel. Visit an online passport office to get started.
Going online to handle your passport issues is by far the most convenient and efficient way to get your passports. Using online services, you can get your US passport renewal expedited, meaning it gets delivered by the time you need it.
In 6000 BC, the first evidence of occupation by the Berbers shows up in Libya’s history. Since that date, different groups of people gradually took over, and then someone took them over. During at least one going in history, The Nation Of Libya was occupied and shaped by the Phoenicians, the Carthaginians, the Greeks, the Persian Empire, the Romans, the Vandals, the Arabs, the Turks and the Byzantines. Cyrene is an ancient Greek settlement that is regarded as one of the best and most well-preserved examples of a Greek settlement like this. This archaeological site has a very long past, and Cyrene even has its own branch of philosophy – Cyrenaics. The Temple of Apollo, from the 7th century BC, is a must-see, as is the Temples of Zeus and Demeter.
In the Libyan desert lies the Acacus Mountains, also known as Tadrat Acacus. This site is important because it houses some of the oldest prehistoric rock art in the world. Dated back to 12,000 BC, this rock art displays the day to day lives of those who lived in the region, when it was greener and wetter back in those days, showing nature, animals, and humans as well.
Ghadames is an ancient city where there are still people living and surviving today. Constructed in the middle of a desert, this city was actually built in an oasis, thus making it an important city in the desert. It has been inhabited since the first century BC, and about 7,000 Tuareg Berbers still call this city home today. Apart from its long history, this city is well known for its unique buildings, which are made of mud, lime, and palm tree trunks, and which are incredibly good at keeping the heat of the desert out.
Sabratha is yet another ancient archaeological site. This ancient Phoenician trading post was build in 500 BC. The people who inhabited this area – the Phoenicians – were a fabled warrior people who built huge buildings, as seen in this site. The three-story tall buildings and mosaics around the site go to show just what sort of civilization the Phoenicians were.
As you can see, Libya is an archaeologist’s, historian’s, and anthropologist’s dream. Even if you’ve never been particularly interested in these subjects just being around these ancient sites will give you a new perspective on the people of our world. Start your adventure by visiting an online passport office, where you can get your expedited pasport renewal, or any other of their useful services.
