Abandoned Ancient Berber Cities, Tunisia

video description

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1

The abandoned villages/cities of Guermassa, Douiret, and Chenini in the Dahar Mountains in Southern Tunisia, are enduring remnants of Berber heritage. Guermassa, a striking 12th-century fortress carved into rocky peaks, features troglodytic dwellings that stretch nearly 1. 5 km along the crest. Abandoned in the 1970s due to modernization, it stands as a testament to its era. Douiret, established about 600 years ago as a fortified granary and caravan stop, thrived until the mid-20th century before being gradually deserted. Chenini, believed to have been founded in the 12th century, remains partially inhabited. The villages’ eerie windswept beauty, seamlessly blending with the dramatic Saharan landscape, captivates with a timeless, haunting allure that evokes an otherworldly charm.

he documentary was incredibly beautiful, thrilling, and impactful. With the care, artistry, and sensitivity you put into its creation, you took us on a journey through the heart of history and the lives of those who came before us. It was an unforgettable and inspiring experience that not only offered valuable insights, but also evoked a deep sense of empathy and connection with the people of that era. I sincerely thank you for sharing this meaningful journey with us and for building a bridge between the past and the present with such depth and vision.
