Libya was my first love. My papa was posted there with the British army. My first 9 years of life in the 50's & 60's. By the age of 16 months I had learnt to swim in the Mediterranean of course. I can still feel the sand under my feet. My memories of Libya will never fade. I love you .
My Dada, may he rest in peace, used to work in Libya from the 70`s till the 90`s. He loved it there and had a lot of respect for Cl Gadaffi. He said it was a very beautiful country.
My father also worked there from 1970 and stayed there till 2014, and now he is 74 years young ☺️, and came back in North Macedonia when we actually live. I’m sorry for your dad, may he rest in peace.
I was born in Libya and lived there for the first fourteen years of my life. I am surprised that I never managed to travel into the desert or saw this side of the country. Like the vast majority of Libyans and expatriates, I and my family confined myself to the relatively narrow fertile coastal strip. I wish Libyans all the best in their future.
There were no travel restrictions except those imposed by fear. I manged to see this including Lepsis Magna with very little interference or obstacle. A beautiful country.
For a single mum who’s never gotten to go anywhere... David Adams is living my dream! God bless him for sharing it with us. As well as sharing the incredible history the textbooks miss. 🙏
@Donnell Okafor no. I made the choice to be a married mom. But then I became a single mom. And then I did the right thing. So... shhhh about things you know nothing about. Ya?
...you must have worked there as were other soviet block countries as Czechoslovakia (road builders, doctors....) Leptis Magna and Cyreneyka were beautiful and preserved places as if romans just left on vacation...
@@KatariaGujjar I don't know what Penny Wollett is talking about either. Libya was attacked and Gadaffi murdered because of his plans to create a new gold backed currency called the African gold dinar for which oil would be sold. The US couldn't afford to let anything affect the status of the petrodollar. That was his great "crime".
Worked as nurse in libya for 13 years. Still there during the rev. But later came back home.people are nice there.cannot forget beauty of libya and the people.been a good part of my carrier as nurse and friends.. i will never forget.
Thanks for bringing back a lot of memories. I lived in Tripoli 1955-57 and loved it. King Idris was the ruling monarch, no Ghadafi. Tripoli and the larger area known as Tripolitania had three major cities, Leptis Magna, Oea, which is now the old city in Tripoli, and the last of the three was Sabaratha. One of my best friends was Ahmed benGassem Shehoup, a Berber. He was like an older brother. Again, thank you for your video. Truly great.
I also lived in Tripoli around 1955 to 1957. We lived in Colina Verde, just outside the city. I attended the BMS (British Military School) and visited Sabrather and Leptis Magna. I was there when Pepsi first arrived and built a bottling plant. My parents and I would drive into the city and visit the markets on a weekend. I have many pleasant memories of Libya and it's people.
They just had more power over the populations. Going back to the 1100’s & earlier, this place was mean, oppressive and authoritative. The people that rule over these lands have always been smart - they’re just more shrewd and better at political operations now. Using the exact same instincts. ‘Nice’ people become part of the dirt here. Greedy/shrewd ones survive and reproduce. They see kidnapping and ransom as a totally natural source of income. I would love to go here and trek through the Zahara but I would almost certainly die. My spine would be part of a necklace. The rest would become part of the sand and wind. 🌵 🐫
Enjoyed this documentary thoroughly. Good script, fantastic cinematography. Kudos to the team who made this journey and sharing with the world the wonders of Libya. It opened my eyes. Thank you.
I lived in Libya as a child in the 70s because my dad worked there. It remains to this day the most beautiful place I've ever seen. Wonderful people, amazing food, a genuine melting pot that retains aspects of all the many peoples that have passed through over the centuries. Still own a bracelet with the hamsa on it that an old lady gave me when I was maybe 5 or 6 years old. It's not possible at the moment, and may not be for a while, but some day I will go back. Please don't be afraid of Libya or of Libyans - things are hard right now but they've lived through war many times before, and this too shall pass. When it does, go there if you can.
Why don't people question the areas we can't enter :( im not a terrorist nor do I ever want to hurt anyone at all, I just wanna travel and unlock this world's secrets before I die and it's upsetting that some places ban visitors it's crazy
Revolution Tower, Fatah. I worked in Al Zawiya for 3 years, during Gaddafi's time, we Romanians were privileged by the Libyans, and now we are. I visited Ghadames, because in my task, as an electrician, I had to control the cathodic protection pipeline, with oil coming from El Sharara to Hamada and ending in Zawiya, at Repsol Oil operation, now Akakaus oil operation
Thank you David Adams for this absolutely wonderful documentary of the southern extents of the Roman Empire, and its chariot use. And also a glimpse into the current people and life in north central Africa! An old and proud culture there. What an interesting adventure that must have been!
Amazing place full of desert. Beautiful land scape. People live in remote place which is far away from urbanization & civilization. They are tribes & survive lives on natural resources. Lovely information. Good cinematography. Thanks for ur endeavour to enlighten world from awesome place
Yes a place where her citizens had much to live for Infact no one slept hungry there everyone had living allowance Money new cars for libyans an advance set light for communication in Africa countries Gaddaffi even used to give Some African Countries money for free all what he wanted was to see United States of Africa.
One of the best countries in the world??? Dude, The woman in the film, was a slave who could not make it out of the city without permission from her parents! And she was and adult woman! Its slavery! So no...
@Three SixNine except that you would not think holy Obama and his friend H Clinton would have done it. yet they did and today the present themselves as the Christs on Earth

Thank you David Addams and Tracks! That was a spectacular documentary! The Libyan desert, Long stretch of Beach, Roman Ruins and Rock Paintings are so beautiful and Interesting.
Traveling for one or couple of weeks and living month after month middle in the Sahara absolutely different experience. Due to work purposes I had that opportunity to experience. Once in a lifetime opportunity. Unforgettable. Most of the places shown in this wonderful documentary I had been to. Hit the memory like just yesterday. Insha'allah I'll visit again...to see those places and my friends...
A wonderful and adventurous journey in such a huge desert of the Sahara. Thank you all for the interesting and very difficult work of making this video. God bless your work.
A very fascinating documentary, evoking the memory of old National Geographic programmes of my childhood. The narration, the photography...everything is top-notch. It really makes me want to visit the beautiful country. Thanks for uploading.
I was born in Tripoli...father worked from Benghazi...I would love to visit my birthplace but never will, so thank you for this interesting documentary.
l mourn my country. Rich with history and cultures .. a beautiful land ( you only have seen a faction of it in this documentary). Sadly ..as a state, Libya has been destroyed.
Yes I know as I worked for a few months in Libya just before the "revolution". Many from my family had been in Libya for many years and couldn't believe what was happening there. Libya was to many Maltese a second home. Anyone who spent time in Libya knew that what was being said about Gaddafi where lies.
I really enjoyed this the hosts winning personality makes it great.Finding the ancient cave drawing at the last, was quite interesting. the elders respected him and that says everything about the goodness of his intent. Well done , cheerio!
This was a great watch. Huge thanks to the makers. I am so happy to see you Libyans so proud of your country and focusing on rebuilding. I am only ashamed my own country, Norway, was one of the countries that dropped the most bombs in 2011. :'( Our then PM is now...you all know I'm sure.
What a disaster ,the west left Libya torn to pieces ,but like yourself I was totally against turning this beautiful country and their people to rubble ,very sad and wrong
It is an awesome pleasure to walk down the forgotten past with the relics of history garnished with spellbound narrative.Thanks to the entire team for the excavation of the splendid Africa.
I wish if you visited the east side of the country, you will see all of Libyan colors in one side the east ,exactly in Benghazi. the southern east is so much rich of folklore, history places , beautiful old building and Oases , I hope you do a series on Libya soon.
I LOVE YOUR FILMING OFDOCUMENTARY OF LIBYA I REMBER DURING MY TIME LIVING THERE FOR TEN YEARS AS AHOSPITAL STAFF IN TRIPOLI LIBYA ....REALLY ILOVE IT...MORE POWER TO YOU .....
Thanks for your nice documentary. My father worked there during the years 1976-1982 at various irrigation projects. He used to speak with respect about Libya and its people.
Yes, I felt so sad about what Clinton allowed to happen in that country. My country (The United States) was so wrong because Gaddafi did so much good for his country, but now they are not doing so well. Gaddafi wanted to help Africa and if they left him alone he would have helped Africa a lot.
Gaddafi and Saddam Hussein stopped using the US dollar, aka the Petro Dollar, to trade oil on OPEC as all oil traded on OPEC has to be traded using US dollars. Instead Gaddafi and Hussein used their own currencies which were backed by gold and silver. Well that doesn’t sit too well with the criminal banking and global elites, so they planned to eliminate those leaders. The only two countries not controlled or enslaved by the IMF to date, is North Korea and Syria. And we know how that’s been going. It’s enraging how these sadistic criminals terrorize, enslave, and kill innocent people for their never ending lust of absolute control and greed. The official stories the gov and media pump out to justify their killing sprees are nothing but lies, but they have control of what the people hear and see, and they know how to sell their war propaganda.
Muammar Gaddafi died as one of the worlds richest people. He ruled a country with 40% unemployment and only gave the people of Libya the crumbs of the oil revenues. He was not a good leader.
I was stationed in Tripoli back in 1968-69. Didn't get to travel far, but I did see Old Tripoli, Leptis Magna, and part of the Desert at an old bombing practice range. I left in June of 1969, 1 year before they closed the Air Base. I would love to be able to go back and visit.
We went to Libya before kadafi and left in 1985. Jews Muslim loved next to each other peacefully as neighbor. My dad started Libya first medical college in Benghazi.
@crazy silly When Gadafhi was there - yes women wore miniskirts - but he was still a dictator and people were not free to speak for fear of spies and informers. He was a ruthless man in a ruthless regime. People were not free to speak openly. That is why he was in power for so long. An iron rod.
@@TerryTerryTerry So what if he converted church in to the Mosque? That was his country so he could do whatever he can do? He didn't come to your country to destroy as your nations in all over the world!! As you've mentioned he was ruthless? If he was that ruthless? Why the people putting his posters everywhere in the city then?????
12000 years ago, when Europe was covered with 1 mile thick sheet of ice, the Sahara was a lush green place filled with lakes, the perfect land for hunters and gatherers. When the weather changed about 6000 years ago, the Amazigh (Berbers) that roamed the land had to move North, into Europe via Gibraltar and Tunisia to Italy, and had to concentrate around the only important water source, the Nile. That also concentrated the Saharan civilization to give birth to what is referred to as Egyptian civilization now. Unfortunately, North Africa as a whole has been stuck in some kind of obscurantism that consists in denying their history and even their genetics to consider themselves all descendants of the prophet!
I was adopted and I remember being told when young that "our " people knew the land when the Nile flowed from east to west into the atlantic. Did the Nile ever ever flow from east to west. ??
Fascinating documentary! Beautiful country and landscape. If I was young I would want to travel here to sightsee and learn more about it's history and the people.
Well shot, well edited and well organized informative documentary. Feels like watching a movie. Background music very soothing and pertinent to that territory. Kudos!
Kevin A lovely film portraying the real people of Libya and the most beautiful Sahara. I lived and worked in Libya for 10 years and grew to love the country and the people and I was sad to leave it when the regime collapsed. I miss so many Libyan friends and I wish that the country returns to some sort of normality very soon so that I can revisit and catch up with everybody I knew. A lovely country with lovely, friendly people.
This place was lush green and had great rivers that still flow but under the sand and on the west coast there are fresh water coming out at the beaches.
I wish I didn't have controlling parents for whom Ive wasted 20+ years of my youth to whom they let my sister travel outta the country before Covid hit..now i gotta wait for the next lifetime
I hear you. But just think how lucky we are to have those memories that so many people will never have now the World is so dangerous. So many young people now live in a bubble. God bless.
The amazing land of Lybua with much human culture and history from lush sanitation to desert as the earth herself changes the landscapes as we who all are human see and witnessed the struggle h6manity has survived and traveled this a gift to witness the humanity that has respect for each other and share the necessaries as each understands their is what matte5s thia great people are truly our brothers and many who have written the negative position that arrogance forgets the h7manitywe all share O appreciate this glorious travel you shared with me thank you
This is an amazing documentary. It had to have been shot before 2011, yet it looks like it was shot yesterday. The blonde man is David Adams and I love his documentaries that are always entertaining and informative.
Wow to be able to do this for living , to travel the world & vist such harsh exotic stunning locations , Meet & experience peoples past & present cultures & history has gotta just be something to admire & see . Liba a beautiful country so underrated & misunderstood by western eyes , never the less this ways a joy to watch .
At 48:12, above the 2 camels in the left corner I see what looks like writing or number notation...that, to me, is more important than anything else there. Nice music throughout this video.
@@learnedtobe8416 No I didn't. Didn't look into it. There's ten thousand things equally interesting in this information-loaded modern world and I'm just a tourist passing through with interests of my own that take all my time.
The travel through Libya via this video was mesmerizing. Imagining the thriving communities that once existed and then seeing how greed destroyed this beautiful land is sad. However, it is uplifting to see nevertheless the culture has survived.
She was married as well as him. Smiling and kindness are the things we should do without always thinking and looking for the worse in humanity. Good people still exist.
This may have been the case, as the case when any man meets a beautiful woman, it doesnt mean he wants to bed her, nothing is wrong with smiling at a beautiful person! Going out to the desert for a lady with a bunch of strangers might not be the safest, so the brother is there to back her up if anything goes wrong, it is her first time going out there....
Do you guys try to bed any woman you find pretty! I mean people smile even at beautiful cars.... yes chemicals are there, but luckily we arent like animals, we are civilised and got social rules that we all understand..
This was fascinating. A journey I would have loved to experience. I lived in southern Egypt for a while and love exploring the ancient cultures, nature and history. The Sahara is a special place ✨✨🥰

This was an can still be a beautiful country. I'm wishing the very best for you Libya
After NATO destroyed it and killed its leader, and putted their puppet politicians I do not think it will
Traveled through this beautiful country in 1977, and I loved it. Used to be a prosperous country and it makes my cry to see it ruined and lawless.
The Islamic State still loves to keep women in the shadows.....silent and subservient. Things probably won't change for another thousand years......

What a disaster ,the west left Libya torn to pieces ,but like yourself I was totally against turning this beautiful country and their people to rubble ,very sad and wrong
We do not blame the people and we know that the decision makers in the world are just a gang
It is an awesome pleasure to walk down the forgotten past with the relics of history garnished with spellbound narrative.Thanks to the entire team for the excavation of the splendid Africa.
Fabulous documentary. I learned something every 5 minutes. Thank you for sharing this amazing video
A lovely video. Libya is more than just Gadaffi and dictatorship. Deserts are beautiful in a unique way. There is so much history here.
I wish if you visited the east side of the country, you will see all of Libyan colors in one side the east ,exactly in Benghazi. the southern east is so much rich of folklore, history places , beautiful old building and Oases , I hope you do a series on Libya soon.
Lybia was beautiful and prosperous under Khadaffi. Now, it is a hellhole.
Because of Obama and Hillary Clinton
This is from an Aussie and I know you are right
JRSinCT I think Gorge Bush.
Libya will be back strong and shining and beautifull...peace to honorable libyans..

I LOVE YOUR FILMING OFDOCUMENTARY OF LIBYA I REMBER DURING MY TIME LIVING THERE FOR TEN YEARS AS AHOSPITAL STAFF IN TRIPOLI LIBYA ....REALLY ILOVE IT...MORE POWER TO YOU .....
Thankyou so much for this wonderful and insightful documentary. It went at a lovely pace and really had respect for the people.
This is a very educational and beautiful video. It makes me want to go there too!
Very nice documentary. Well presented as well. Hope Libya will be peacefull and prosperous country again
Oh Leptis Magna Ive been there, so beautiful ,a place that I only see in books and movies, it was an amazing experience.
Assalamu alaikum
Najat would be a curiosity anywhere on earth. What an absolute beauty.
Thanks for your nice documentary. My father worked there during the years 1976-1982
at various irrigation projects. He used to speak with respect about Libya and its people.
Love History,Libya is wonderful City,Their land is an Ancient City.
Libya is a country
And that was an awesome documentary.learned alot and enjoyed it to the end.lots of things we are not thought in the classroom
Its amazing the history of that place. Great documentary. It made me feel like I was there too!!
Fantastic, bringing this wonder to the public. Amazing stuff
Muammar Gaddafi was a good leader, they should have left him alone.
So sad what has happened, making Libya suffer.
Yes, I felt so sad about what Clinton allowed to happen in that country. My country (The United States) was so wrong because Gaddafi did so much good for his country, but now they are not doing so well. Gaddafi wanted to help Africa and if they left him alone he would have helped Africa a lot.
Gaddafi and Saddam Hussein stopped using the US dollar, aka the Petro Dollar, to trade oil on OPEC as all oil traded on OPEC has to be traded using US dollars. Instead Gaddafi and Hussein used their own currencies which were backed by gold and silver. Well that doesn’t sit too well with the criminal banking and global elites, so they planned to eliminate those leaders. The only two countries not controlled or enslaved by the IMF to date, is North Korea and Syria. And we know how that’s been going. It’s enraging how these sadistic criminals terrorize, enslave, and kill innocent people for their never ending lust of absolute control and greed. The official stories the gov and media pump out to justify their killing sprees are nothing but lies, but they have control of what the people hear and see, and they know how to sell their war propaganda.
Muammar Gaddafi died as one of the worlds richest people. He ruled a country with 40% unemployment and only gave the people of Libya the crumbs of the oil revenues.
He was not a good leader.
@@fasiistyrer you do not know what are you talking about Libya is rich land and poor people why? Because of Ghaddafi
@@jbhann Absolutely true....don't mess with the cash....you'll write your own death warrant.
Fantastically fascinating....peeping into the amazing history of long foregone times....Thank U David !!
I was stationed in Tripoli back in 1968-69. Didn't get to travel far, but I did see Old Tripoli, Leptis Magna, and part of the Desert at an old bombing practice range. I left in June of 1969, 1 year before they closed the Air Base. I would love to be able to go back and visit.
Wonderful documentary,well done,beautiful scenery! I really enjoyed this video and learned so m7ch about Libya
A Master piece Documentary on the Ancient Civilization of Libya 🇱🇾
We went to Libya before kadafi and left in 1985. Jews Muslim loved next to each other peacefully as neighbor.
My dad started Libya first medical college in Benghazi.
Yes. There is a lot of misplaced sentiment on here. Gadhafi was a ruthless dictator. Even the cathedral in Tripoli was converted to a mosque.
@crazy silly When Gadafhi was there - yes women wore miniskirts - but he was still a dictator and people were not free to speak for fear of spies and informers. He was a ruthless man in a ruthless regime. People were not free to speak openly. That is why he was in power for so long. An iron rod.
@@TerryTerryTerry Gaddafi was not a ruthless dictator
@@TerryTerryTerry So what if he converted church in to the Mosque? That was his country so he could do whatever he can do? He didn't come to your country to destroy as your nations in all over the world!! As you've mentioned he was ruthless? If he was that ruthless? Why the people putting his posters everywhere in the city then?????
@@gusteriljiljanibosanski4176 Because they were scared stiff to criticise the regime obviously.
She's beautiful... No wonder the brother had to accompany them.... He reminds me of a young Gordon Ramsey...
when the guy says he's married the woman seem changed her mood..
Always been interested in Libya and looked it up but this is just absolutely amazing and beautiful. Thank you.
Thank you ever so much!! This is wonderful!!
12000 years ago, when Europe was covered with 1 mile thick sheet of ice, the Sahara was a lush green place filled with lakes, the perfect land for hunters and gatherers. When the weather changed about 6000 years ago, the Amazigh (Berbers) that roamed the land had to move North, into Europe via Gibraltar and Tunisia to Italy, and had to concentrate around the only important water source, the Nile. That also concentrated the Saharan civilization to give birth to what is referred to as Egyptian civilization now.
Unfortunately, North Africa as a whole has been stuck in some kind of obscurantism that consists in denying their history and even their genetics to consider themselves all descendants of the prophet!
ohh yes and many of us are changing that believe me
And the land was occupied and roamed by the GOTHIC Tribes
HAHAHAHHHAH? you should join cartoon network, most stupid consipiracy theory i ever heard
YES, YES, YES,
I was adopted and I remember being told when young that "our " people knew the land when the Nile flowed from east to west into the atlantic. Did the Nile ever ever flow from east to west. ??
Fascinating documentary! Beautiful country and landscape. If I was young I would want to travel here to sightsee and learn more about it's history and the people.
Well shot, well edited and well organized informative documentary. Feels like watching a movie. Background music very soothing and pertinent to that territory. Kudos!
“been there in 2008 can’t believed it’s like you traveled back in time and i still have pictures of this place”
David, you are the best! I have enjoyed and learned a lot.

A lovely film portraying the real people of Libya and the most beautiful Sahara. I lived and worked in Libya for 10 years and grew to love the country and the people and I was sad to leave it when the regime collapsed. I miss so many Libyan friends and I wish that the country returns to some sort of normality very soon so that I can revisit and catch up with everybody I knew. A lovely country with lovely, friendly people.
This place was lush green and had great rivers that still flow but under the sand and on the west coast there are fresh water coming out at the beaches.
Thank you SOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!! Wonderful AND BEAUTIFUL... THANK YOU !!!
I so miss being young and traveling endlessly around the world before the age of stupidity we now face.
It took the traveling and experience to recognize the stupidity which was always there.
I wish I didn't have controlling parents for whom Ive wasted 20+ years of my youth to whom they let my sister travel outta the country before Covid hit..now i gotta wait for the next lifetime
I hear you. But just think how lucky we are to have those memories that so many people will never have now the World is so dangerous. So many young people now live in a bubble. God bless.

The amazing land of Lybua with much human culture and history from lush sanitation to desert as the earth herself changes the landscapes as we who all are human see and witnessed the struggle h6manity has survived and traveled this a gift to witness the humanity that has respect for each other and share the necessaries as each understands their is what matte5s thia great people are truly our brothers and many who have written the negative position that arrogance forgets the h7manitywe all share O appreciate this glorious travel you shared with me thank you
You must be in prison, writing in s0m3 ki9d of co4e...
Thank you 2
Excellent. Enjoyed every minute and learned so much from this incredibly well done documentary. Thank you.
This is an amazing documentary. It had to have been shot before 2011, yet it looks like it was shot yesterday. The blonde man is David Adams and I love his documentaries that are always entertaining and informative.
more like 1990s
Wow and thankyou, what a beautiful country.
Wow to be able to do this for living , to travel the world & vist such harsh exotic stunning locations ,
Meet & experience peoples past & present cultures & history has gotta just be something to admire & see .
Liba a beautiful country so underrated & misunderstood by western eyes , never the less this ways a joy to watch .
At 48:12, above the 2 camels in the left corner I see what looks like writing or number notation...that, to me, is more important than anything else there. Nice music throughout this video.
did you find out what it means? it's interesting!
@@learnedtobe8416 No I didn't. Didn't look into it. There's ten thousand things equally interesting in this information-loaded modern world and I'm just a tourist passing through with interests of my own that take all my time.
Came for the history, culture, and vistas of the libyan desert, stayed for the reality dating sub-plot.
or she`s "just" gorgeous .
No way
Best comment 😆
This video can b the start of a romantic picture
The travel through Libya via this video was mesmerizing. Imagining the thriving communities that once existed and then seeing how greed destroyed this beautiful land is sad. However, it is uplifting to see nevertheless the culture has survived.
9:45 Thumbs up if you think the translator is gorgeous.
I was expecting the translator to be a guy.
Her brother is handsome
Not just the translator but most of the people and the English man too!
All handsome Englishmen are actually Australian 😊
The host obviously thinks so lol. He is smitten
This guy was so smitten by the beautiful lady..good thing the brother tagged along.
She was married as well as him. Smiling and kindness are the things we should do without always thinking and looking for the worse in humanity. Good people still exist.
This may have been the case, as the case when any man meets a beautiful woman, it doesnt mean he wants to bed her, nothing is wrong with smiling at a beautiful person! Going out to the desert for a lady with a bunch of strangers might not be the safest, so the brother is there to back her up if anything goes wrong, it is her first time going out there....
Yes, he would have been doing that if the brother wasn't there.
Even I was smitten by the lady
Do you guys try to bed any woman you find pretty! I mean people smile even at beautiful cars.... yes chemicals are there, but luckily we arent like animals, we are civilised and got social rules that we all understand..
Wow ! Thank you for this ! One of the best docs I've seen !!!
This was fascinating. A journey I would have loved to experience. I lived in southern Egypt for a while and love exploring the ancient cultures, nature and history. The Sahara is a special place ✨✨🥰
hello
Believe it or it is a barbaric culture of dehumanizing and enslaving others.
Libya is so beautyful and the people are so nice. I wish I could explore there.
