It is clear that the Libyans are contacted them initially and in the era of King Ramses VI of the Twentieth Dynasty then moved name Libya where Tlagafh Phoenicians before migrating to North Africa and found inscriptions Phoenician multiple responded by this word (Libya) No sooner had moved to the Greeks Greek population present during the Bronze Age, which inflamed imagination They enthusiasts superstitious myths so they start to weave myths about Libya example mentioned in the Odyssey's Homer, as stated Balfez something to the effect (that of eating lotus of non-Libyans will forget their homeland and live in Libya to spend his life eating lotus) The Herodat father of history, who visited Libya in the second half of the fifth century BC, recalled to Libya in several places and it means the entire African continent was divided Libya into two parts: - Libyans in north and Alaviob in the south.
