Terrifying, if it were to come true.. the legend of the "destroying Amazigh dwarfs"!
The "destroying dwarfs" are a terrifying Amazigh legend circulating in both Algeria and Morocco. It talks about dangerous dwarfs who threaten the future of the earth with annihilation!
?It's really a terrifying story, if it comes true, what are its details
Their relationship with ants
The book " Kukra in Amazigh Mythology " by the Moroccan researcher Muhammad Osus says that this legend tells the story of "short-statured creatures characterized by the characteristic of spawning and rapid reproduction, which makes them similar to ants, or that there is a relationship between them and ants. These creatures are characterized by their malice and badness and their endeavor to harm the universe and disturb its order, sweeping it and turning its fertility into sterility.”
And French researcher Camille Lacoste Desjardins points out in his book " Dictionary of Amazigh Culture in the Tribes ," that these creatures "are characterized by their small stature to the extent that seven of them can play inside a sa', this is in the tribal heritage in Algeria."
In order not to destroy the earth and its order, Muhammad Osos says, "These creatures were banished to the lower layer of the universe, because it is their arrival on the earth that will lead to the destruction of the world and the annihilation of life in it.. These creatures are known in southern Morocco as the Dajjal and in the tribes as the Tajal or Tedjal, that is, It borrows the well-known name of the Antichrist from Islamic eschatology.
Pygmy Amazighs and Religions
Muhammad Osus denies the existence of a relationship between the destructive Amazigh dwarfs and the antichrist in other religions, saying, "The Amazigh antichrist (dwarves), refers to countless dwarves what keeps him away from the antichrist in Islamic eschatology and in the Judeo-Christian tradition, in which the antichrist appears alone, not a dwarf but Gigantic, not reprehensible, but handsome, charming, mesmerizing the masses.
And the source goes on, "But it is also called Tasust ne id Bousnat Tawaklin, that is, the generation of the two small molars in Ihaan in southern Morocco, based on the belief that these creatures will form the last generation of creatures that will appear before the world annihilates."
According to Camille Lacoste Desjardins, a French researcher specializing in Amazigh culture, "In parallel with the emergence of these blocks, everything above the ground will dry up: water, soil and fruits, so nothing will grow and the udders of cows and goats will dry up."
According to Muhammad Osus, "these dwarfs will multiply like bugs (Umm Ikwardan in Amazigh) until they fill the world in a chaotic manner, and they replace humans."
In a different reading of this myth and its projections on reality, the Algerian researcher Tasadit Yassin says in her book " The Thieves of Fire ", that "these dwarves who represent in the myth the scoundrels and bastards, can be brought closer to the most miserable category who are located at the bottom of the social hierarchy, as they are presented in the myth as beings Small, despicable, numerous, toiling, but not producing anything and devoid of intelligence, because she spends her time biting the trunk of a tree that never falls.”
