Tell me about the people the Egyptians called Libyans. Were they just desert raiders, or was their relationship with the kingdom more complicated? Also, why are they drawn here looking much more impressive than the others, even the Egyptian?

they were originally from central or northern europe. Later waves of similar migration would be the visigoths

Libya was just the land that was East of the Nile and started in Siwa. The phenotypical variation of Libyans was broad and these archetypal visuals of regional people was just meant to reinforce "us" vs "them".
They included Tehenu, the Ribu, the Nasamons, the Garamantes, etc. From Siwa to Fezzan but they were a complicated and complex category.
"Berber" is a useless word because that does not encapsulate a people along racial or ethnic boundaries. Especially given the fact that the very name is a statement of Nubian origin still used by Egyptians and also historically to Somalia

Should I become an anthropologist if I'm also a racist bigot? Will it change my views or will it reinforce them?
