Hi all, one month ago I have shared with you my AncestryDNA test results, and some of you suggested if I log my Raw DNA file to IllustrativeDNA for more deep results, and as you can see I was more convinced and happy about the results. And am wondering if other Algerians has done the same tests and if you could share with us so we can see them.
Hi all I just wanted to share with you my dna tests results. I have done the AncestryDNA test first, then I have sent my Raw File to IllustrativeDNA. I would like to know more (explanations if it could be) as I don't know much on this matter (DNA science). I would also appreciate your comments.
Hi all I am an Algerian from the east of the cou try, and I was just so curious lately to figure out my origins and all that, and I have decided to make a dna test recently.
The results took around seven weeks but I think it was worth it! I am wondering if any others have made the same tests and have got the same results??
By sharing these pictures, just to depict and to remind all my wled bladi that the same enemy of yesterday will remain always the enemy of today. And just to say happy independence day to all of you.
This is who we are and this is from where we take our pride of. We are a miracle and we are very lucky for being still alive today and for being still Algerians, only because of our ancestors, I wish you a happy independence day another time.
Viva l'Algérie ✊🏻🇩🇿✌🏻
I share with you this mosaic picture from the museum of Cherchell in Algeria, dating between 100 and 200 BC. Just to wish all of my Algerian sisters and brothers a happy eid.
This is a picture of an Algerian man swiping his face with what it looks like a goat skin after he finished removing it. The picture was taken in the Aures region during the colonial era by the French ethnologist Germaine Tillion on its visit to one of the tribes in the Aures.
It's a Chaoui (Aures Amazigh people) tradition tied to Eid al-Adha, commemorating their ancestor King Aksel, a 7th-century Berber/Amazigh leader who resisted the Arab conquest.
According to the story (from Ibn Khaldun), Aksel was humiliated by Arab commander Oqba ibn Nafi, who forced him to skin a sheep. Aksel wiped the bloody/warm skin on his face/beard in defiance (claiming it was good for his hair, but actually vowing revenge). He later killed Oqba near Biskra in 684.
The father (then family members) wipes the fresh skin on their faces (especially eyes) right after skinning as a mark of respect, memory, and "appropriation" of this ancestral act. Some also see it as protective against illness (per older ethnographic accounts like Germaine Tillion's).
If you have another informations about it, don't hesitate to contribute ❤️
I have collected some different pictures that I have found on the web of Algerian men and women from the colonial era, they were probably taken by a colonial photographer.
As we can notice in the pictures, they depicts a certain lifestyle and culture back then. The family ties were stronger, and the tribe/family shared all the shores of the daily life.
The Setif and Guelma massacre was a series of massacres by French colonial authorities and pied-noir European settler militias on Algerian civilians in May and June 1945 around the towns of Setif and Guelma in Algeria.
We as descendants of all these brave people who sacrificed their lives for the independence of our country, we take lessons from these events, and we build a stronger future all togheder.
Very proud of our history, very proud of all my sisters and brothers.
Glory and eternity to our righteous martyrs. ✊🏻✌🏻
It features a hunter returning with his canine companion, which is adorned with a decorative harness.
The scene is set in front of a structure, possibly part of a villa or country estate, depicted in the background.
The mosaic was discovered in North Africa and is currently preserved in the National Museum of Archaeology in Cirta, Constantine, Algeria.
