My father worked on contract in Libya in the 70's and 80's (we lived in Eastern Europe and Qaddafi did business with countries east of Iron Curtain because he didn't like USA and the West in general for political reasons). It was my dad's greatest adventure of his life and just that part of the world was so different from the gloomy, cold, miserable and poor land we came from. He never forgot it and neither did I forget all the goodies and high quality wares he either brought from Libya or was able to buy for good currencies he was paid in for the work he did in Libya, helping to build and develop its infrastructure. He also brought kilometres of photographic films to develop of everything he saw there and it was all so beautiful and exotic. He never forgot the place and had always yearned to go there again just to see it once more, and to take me with him to show me the places he saw before. He never had the chance because Qaddafi's regime fell among a violent revolution and the country had never become stable and safe enough to become a secure holiday destination. Also I've never been thrilled to spend the whole stay dressing in a complete body cover for the sake of the local sense of propriety (and, as both my parents believed, not to attract attention of any possible wrongdoers with my blonde hair and blue eyes). Don't get me wrong, he wasn't a fan of Qaddafi in a slightest bit (in fact first thing after hearing of his demise he shouted: "serves him right, that old per_ert!"), he accepted the contract offer presented to the employees of his company because people in our country were struggling with shortages of pretty much everything and he had a family with two young children and ailing and completely dependent parents to support. But he loved the place and everything about it, even though during his work there he fell from a ladder, got his head cracked and his arm broken open and had to stay in some rather dilapidated hospital and undergo long and painful physiotherapy after his return home. I think his inability to revisit Libya was one of his life's greatest regrets and that he never stopped remembering the land.
He is! And I love how his documentaries are about his subject, not him. Usually, I'm not interested in celebrities at all, but if there was one I wanted to meet it would be him.
This is easily one of my most exciting documentaries. From the Mediterranean into deep Sahara and an unknown people and culture; with rock carvings and paintings even a chariot, showing that people lived here even before the Roman's!
So outstandingly made. Beautiful country, interesting people and a wonderful look at an area of the world I probably will never see in person. Thanks for sharing this excellent video online!

It's sad rewatching this series and seeing how almost none of these countries are accessible to westerners, and how bad conditions have gotten for many of the people living in these countries. I wonder what became of his various hosts and hostesses. I hope they're all well, but given the deteriorating conditions across Mali, Sudan, Afghanistan, and Libya, I'd honestly be surprised if all of them were still safe and happy.

@heath ongq we blame the white man for his laws, borders, the deceit, corruption, overthrow, genocide of 90% of our people all over the world, division of Africa among colonizer's so they could control the people, stealing our artifacts, stealing all the gold, silver and diamonds destroying scrolls, temples and synagogue changing name of people from godly names to Baal system names,..even the Pharaohs and cities names were changed. A lot of our names are Roman, Greek or Babylonian after their god's. Then you bring in a white Jesus ('...sus-- son of Zeus) 500 years ago, ioesus 1800 years ago, then Christos 300bc with the Ptolemaic period. The Europeans used Sunday school books and commentaries and miseducation through their school system: teaching slaves discipline, white supremacy, wrong words and meaning thru the Wikipedia and Webster dictionaries and made up white history while digging up, destroying, changing images and etc.. .

Fine documentary. I do take issue with one point: Leptis was founded by neither the Greeks nor the Romans, but rather by the Phoenicians, later absorbed into the Carthaginian Empire. It was a Phoenician/Punic city for the first 500 years or so... Roman Leptis was originally just an expansion of conquered Punic Leptis, which was not mentioned in this film. Otherwise, very enjoyable.
HA! The look on her face when he says "I too am unmarried". She was like "Oh!" "Reeeally"!?? LOL! That "chariot" in the cave painting looks like a 4 wheel drive model. That cannot be a chariot, it would have been un-manuverable with 4 wheels. Probably some kind of cart.
The painting shows a 2-wheel drive model. Only good evidence of chariots with 4 wheels are the ones of the Sumerians, but then again, in their time, it was a very recent innovation.

this brings back memories of my Morocco Sahara visits, the wedding tribe looks very similar to the Beber on the Moroccan side, wearing similar indigo turbans. If you want to experience spending a night in the Sahara desert, you can joint a group van tour from Marrakesh. It's not going to be the Libya Sahara, but it's very similar and it's actually one of Morocco's tourist attractions with camel rides & dinner, the Berber who work with tourist all speak English. I have seen a different documentary on Tunisia, they also have well preserved Roman ruins along their coast, too bad tourism is not common there lately. Edit: April 2021 I accidentally re watch this, because I like all the Sahara documentary 🙂 I am now updating the similarity among another tribe = the Nubian in Aswan and Luxor Egypt. During my visit to Egypt in September 2021, I accidentally wondered into a midnight Nubian wedding in Aswan and got to made a short video of it. The men & women dance separately, wearing similar long coat in white same dance move , horizon line holding hands, even during covid19 without mask. The ladies also made similar noises with their lips and jumped up celebrating a day before in thie Nubian home. I was a like lost on the Elephant Island, looking for my hostel. The tiny island in the middle of Nile river, everyone was attending the Wedding at midnight! . You can find d the wedding short videos on my RUclips channel on my profile 🙂
I'll bet he was thrilled about her brother tagging along...that's something that would happen to me, for certain - what a buzzkill ...it's tragic how their culture doesn't allow their women to make their own decisions and be their own people...it's a crime against humanity 😒
I think he and the guide like each other. I'm sensing chemistry between them. It seems like they're flirting a little. The brother looks like a pit bull you don't want to mess with. lol
@Lucas Capobianco aha people in Brazil are having different roots Africans pourtgese espain italy As in libya in west are mixture of Romans Arab Berber Greeks and in middle Turks sherkes And in South are native Africans You are welcome bro Libyan people are loving Brazil 🌷⚘
If Ghadamas grew as a large city thosands years ago it must have had a source of water sufficient to maintain its place as a crossroads for trade routes. People tend to equate present regional conditions to those centuries ago leading to unrealistic ideas such as imagining riding chariots through these rough lands. on another theme, notice the similitude of the name Ghadamas to Ghadaffi. Cyrenaica and Tripolitania were names given until some 70 years to thre territory know as Lybia, no libea as some child wrote.
Roman Republic nor Empire army never used Chariots… too expensive and they can’t carry much… one or two people max and a few spears or an Archer. You would see them in Rome but used for more ceremonies… like a victory parade. That one at the end could be Egyptian.. they visited around the area…. 3000 to 500 BC (before Chariots demise). When Roman invaded England, the leaders of the Britains used chariots but the Romans laughed since they stopped being used 600 years earlier. Chariot Racing is old school… a Roman way to look back 900 years to their origins of Old Greek fighting… Trojan War of 1050 BC. ROMANS descended from Troy Refugee is legend .
I wish he could make some new shows where he revisits the same places and visits with the people he originally met. I would be curious to see how things have changed.

There is so much to learn about this planet we live on. Thank you
Another CooL David Adams documentary.
Really wonderful. Big thanks. I learned a lot about Libya
David Adams is the best.
Nice historical vlog, and with Nadyat , I think I can stay longer.
you Shure? it never belonged to just some Arabs you knw!
@@nigelwilliams5653 I THINK I AM SURE.
I appreciate the modesty of the Libyans - the translator had to be accompanied by her brother.
Modesty? No that’s control of a woman.
@@kaptainkaos1202 No, Modesty is self-respect.
@@romeosantos7249 sure but this isn’t modesty, it’s enslavement of women due to a religion and use of her body for a males gain…
@@romeosantos7249 you’re gonna mansplain this to me? You have no idea what you’re talking about. When you are a woman you get to describe modesty otherwise you’re just a misogynistic ssshole.
this brings back memories of my Morocco Sahara visits, the wedding tribe looks very similar to the Beber on the Moroccan side, wearing similar indigo turbans. If you want to experience spending a night in the Sahara desert, you can joint a group van tour from Marrakesh. It's not going to be the Libya Sahara, but it's very similar and it's actually one of Morocco's tourist attractions with camel rides & dinner, the Berber who work with tourist all speak English. I have seen a different documentary on Tunisia, they also have well preserved Roman ruins along their coast, too bad tourism is not common there lately.
Edit: April 2021
I accidentally re watch this, because I like all the Sahara documentary 🙂 I am now updating the similarity among another tribe = the Nubian in Aswan and Luxor Egypt. During my visit to Egypt in September 2021, I accidentally wondered into a midnight Nubian wedding in Aswan and got to made a short video of it. The men & women dance separately, wearing similar long coat in white same dance move , horizon line holding hands, even during covid19 without mask. The ladies also made similar noises with their lips and jumped up celebrating a day before in thie Nubian home. I was a like lost on the Elephant Island, looking for my hostel. The tiny island in the middle of Nile river, everyone was attending the Wedding at midnight! . You can find d the wedding short videos on my RUclips channel on my profile 🙂
i just watched it ur channel is really cool!
I love the thumbnail with Johnny Bravo lol. If nothing else, that alone deserves a thumbs up 😄
Remarkably interesting.
Fascinating stuff 👍
This was excellent.
+That's it. I'm definitely coming back as a Tuareg woman, they've really got it sorted there. PS loved the programme.
wow i love this
I love you libya ❤🇱🇾
Sad to see what happened to our country... American freedom ruined our lives
Deep State NOT exactly American. We are attacked too. The Enemy is stateless - controls people.
the average american does not cheer on these wars. our politicians are bought
I'll bet he was thrilled about her brother tagging along...that's something that would happen to me, for certain - what a buzzkill ...it's tragic how their culture doesn't allow their women to make their own decisions and be their own people...it's a crime against humanity 😒
THANK YOU FRIENDS
Great show
Well done!
cool vid
Hi David,love your beautiful videos ❤❤.Have you done new ones? I would love to watch more😍👍👍
THANKS ALOT FOR YOUR SHOWING AMAZING THINGS.
Incredible video👌💕😇 Thanks millions!!!!
I think he and the guide like each other. I'm sensing chemistry between them. It seems like they're flirting a little. The brother looks like a pit bull you don't want to mess with. lol

Best Journalist
Lovely documentary video👍👍😀
Always good music here.
this guy is great
Wonderful documentary of Libya
If Ghadamas grew as a large city thosands years ago it must have had a source of water sufficient to maintain its place as a crossroads for trade routes. People tend to equate present regional conditions to those centuries ago leading to unrealistic ideas such as imagining riding chariots through these rough lands. on another theme, notice the similitude of the name Ghadamas to Ghadaffi. Cyrenaica and Tripolitania were names given until some 70 years to thre territory know as Lybia, no libea as some child wrote.
Outstanding representation of video of the end of the Romans civilization footprint on Sudanese desert
Great work.
It looks like watching the movie Sahara again😃
My favorite. I enjoy all of Clive Cussler's books. Especially raise the Titanic. That also became a movie.
Roman Republic nor Empire army never used Chariots… too expensive and they can’t carry much… one or two people max and a few spears or an Archer. You would see them in Rome but used for more ceremonies… like a victory parade. That one at the end could be Egyptian.. they visited around the area…. 3000 to 500 BC (before Chariots demise). When Roman invaded England, the leaders of the Britains used chariots but the Romans laughed since they stopped being used 600 years earlier. Chariot Racing is old school… a Roman way to look back 900 years to their origins of Old Greek fighting… Trojan War of 1050 BC. ROMANS descended from Troy Refugee is legend .
8:07 "They come here purely for the sport!" As he sealed the deal grinning with a handshake.
I wish he could make some new shows where he revisits the same places and visits with the people he originally met. I would be curious to see how things have changed.
