What is the Celtic – Berber (Amazigh) connection?
I'm having trouble finding info on the historical link between the ancient Celts and Amazigh / Berber North Africa. I was shocked to be on tour in Morocco and I end up buying bread from a woman with hair red eyes as blue, skin as fair as mine. She was also happy to meet me and started talking to me in his native language, thinking that I too I was Amazigh. She said a woman who spoke French it is not Arabic, but Tamazight of the Atlas in southern Morocco. She said that in the remote mountainous regions where there are very limited contact with people from outside the region, there are many people of our color. I found an article about a shipwreck medieval Scot who discovered that the Gaelic language Tamazight are mutually understandable. Can anyone help me find a more historical information? A big thank you!
There are a variety of people among Moroccans, if you read the story and learn a lot of countries have taken control of different parts of what is now Morocco, you will get a good idea of why they are diverse. Some people with red hair are most likely from Spain to escape the Spanish Inquisition. Plus it was trade along the Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts. Morocco is and was a hospitable country which has increased the diversity as well. I saw people who looked like to Indians and they sang songs in Berber region of Agadir and Essaouira. After a little research, I learned that Berbers are certain words in a language similar Iroquois and also some Arabic words in Cherokee. Also look at the photos of Princess Salma, wife of the king, she Red-headed and is a native Moroccan.
