Mythology and astronomy among the ancient Amazighs
The intersection of mythology and astronomy among the Amazighs in ancient times... a forged megalith as a model, the tomb of Enti, the legendary Amazigh character, and a witness on Armat Day/ⴰⵔⵎⴰⵜ “the autumn and spring equinox,” sacred to the Amazighs.
A megalith forged in the town of Mzoura in northern Morocco, the largest of its kind in North Africa, a burial ground dating back to unspecified ancient times. The Greek/Roman biographer Lucius Plutarch indicated that the Roman general Quintus Sertorius visited a huge tomb in those regions in the first century BC, where local residents revealed to him the body of the giant Antaeus (in Amazigh), who died in his struggle with Hercules, the hero of Greek mythology. According to legend.
As for the local Amazigh population now, in addition to their legends linking this megalithic burial ground to the giants of pre-religious times, they believe that the largest rock, the main stone/peg, indicates the direction of sunset on the day of Armat/ⴰⵙ ⵏ ⴰⵔⵎⴰⵜ “the autumn and spring equinox,” sacred to the Amazighs. .
The graveyard is a large group of boulders arranged around a hill with a diameter of 58 meters and a height of 6 metres. The main stone/stake measures over 5 metres.
Anti/Enti is an Amazigh proper name, carried by one of the largest Amazigh tribes, the Masmoudi Entata tribe (Hintata in Arabic). Its members are called “Anti”.
A group of amphorae were found at the site, dating back to the fourth century BC. Without a doubt, the site will be much older than that.
