In ancient times Libya began west of the Nile and most of the inhabitants of the Egyptian Delta were native Berbers (Imazighen). This map is part of the map of Ancient Libya, showing the locations of the native Berber tribes of Ancient Egypt. Hence the ancient Greek geographers referred to the whole Africa by the name of "Libya". For more information please see the Temehu tribes of ancient Libya. 1914 Libya

The Strange NFZ Over Libya
The above image is a modified map of the The published No-Fly-Zone over (some parts of) Libya. The modified map was completed by Temehu.com to illustrate the actual size of the NFZ in relation to the whole of Libya, and to show how all the land borders of Libya are left out of the map!?
