Take a tour of Old Town of Ghadames in Ghadames, Libya -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats. There is much to distinguish the town of Ghadames from its surrounding environment in Libya. The town is an oasis on the edge of the Sahara Desert, and maintains a unique architectural style and layout. The multi-story buildings are built with limestone, mud and palm wood, protecting the people from the intense heat and cold. This region was once an important center of trade and was thus occupied by the Roman Empire and later Muslim Arabs. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the old part of Ghadames stands as an impressive example of a pre-Saharan civilization and a present- day Arab community. In this town most houses have open air connected roof terraces.

Take a tour of Archaeological Site of Leptis Magna in Al-Hums, Libya -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats. Buried under the desert sands of what is now Libya, the city of Leptis Magna lay forgotten for hundreds of long years. Thanks to recent painstaking archaeological work, this beautiful place has once again emerged to the world of people. The city was built by the Phoenicians nearly a thousand years before the coming of the common era. Since its origins, Leptis Magna has seen Carthaginians, Punics, Romans, Vandals, Byzantines, Berbers, and Arabs. The city gained its greatest glory under the Roman emperor Septimus Severus, whose birthplace it was. Now visitors can wander Leptis Magna, admiring the great structures such as the amphitheater, the gateways, the necropolis, and the temples.

Take a tour of Archaeological Site of Sabratha in Sabratha, Libya -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats. In the northwestern corner of Libya, is a fascinating piece of Mediterranean antiquity known as Sabratha. The city has been here since at least 500 BC, when the Phoenicians likely founded it. In the second and third centuries AD, the Roman Empire reached Sabratha and began to reconstruct the city in their image with their technology. The ruins here contain buildings and features from both the Romans and the Phoenicians, as well as other nearby cultures. One of the most amazing structures in the city is the ancient Roman theater, which is still fairly intact. Sabratha was linked to two other nearby cities, creating an important triple city system in the ancient world.

How To Go To Heaven: www.jesus-is-savior.com www.amnesty.org Libya: NTC must take control to prevent spiral of abuses 13 September 2011 The National Transitional Council (NTC) must get a grip on armed anti-Gaddafi groups to stop reprisal attacks and arbitrary arrests, Amnesty International warned as it released a major report into human rights violations during the Libyan conflict. The 107-page report The Battle for Libya: Killings, Disappearances and Torture reveals that while al-Gaddafi forces committed widespread crimes under international law during the conflict, forces loyal to the NTC have also committed abuses that in some cases amounted to war crimes. "The new authorities must make a complete break with the abuses of the past four decades and set new standards by putting human rights at the centre of their agenda" said Claudio Cordone, Senior Director at Amnesty International. "The onus now is on the NTC to do things differently, end abuses and initiate the human rights reforms that are urgently needed." "A top priority must be to assess the state of the justice sector and start its reform, to ensure due process and deliver access to justice and reparation for victims." Amnesty International found evidence that during the conflict al-Gaddafi forces committed war crimes and abuses which may amount to crimes against humanity, including indiscriminate attacks, mass killing of prisoners, torture, enforced disappearances, and arbitrary arrests. In most cases it was ...

Tourism in Libya is an industry still in its infancy but one that will gradually start growing. The country is best known for its ancient Greek and Roman ruins and Sahara desert landscapes. There are five UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the country, three of which are classical ruins. The Roman cities of Sabratha and Leptis Magna in Western Libya and the Greek ruins of Cyrene in the East are big tourist attractions. One of the attractions of Libya's archeological sites, is that they are not as heavily populated by tourists as are other ancient sites in North Africa and southern Europe.

Assaraya Alhmara Museum, Tripoli, Libya - Assaraya Alhamra, "The Red Castle" or "The Red Fort" was painted red after the Spanish invasions in 1510 AD. Digging along an adjacent road revealed that the fort was built on top of an ancient Roman fortified camp. The building was established by the Phoenicians, who later abandoned the city after they established the nearby Carthage. A road once passed through the castle and was adorned with statues on both sides, which gave the museum an unique outdoor department. The castle was built to defend the city, it continued to be the centre of Tripoli's power right up to the 20th century. After the Romans' descendants' return in 1911, the Italian converted a section of the castle, that was originally used as an ammunition storehouse, into Libya's first museum in 1919, to house some of the countless archaeological artifacts scattered across Libya since prehistoric times. By 1930s, it was named the Classical Museum - in reference to the classical Greco-Roman period. After the British occupied Libya during the Second War, the museum grew to occupy the entire complex and became known as The Libyan Museum in 1948, with the four wings: Prehistory - Ancient Libyan Tribes (the Berbers: Garamentes, Tuareg, etc.) - Libyan-Punic-Greco-Roman-Byzantine Traditions - Natural History After Gaddafi's September Revolution, in 1969, a new wing was added, The People's Era Wing, to document the Libyan struggle for independence. and then later a war museum ...

My first attempt to a Video Blog. The idea is a daily post of a short video on YouTube made with the iPhone and linked to my site and vice versa of my photo trip in Libya. I've never edited or filmed before and I will learn from my mistakes as I go along, (hopefully). This blog is not about outstanding video making on my part. My main objective is to show you the every day life of the Libyan people in short videos including sounds and noises. On a more personal level it shows a little of me as the experienced solo traveler I have been for years now and some of how my rather unplanned trip materializes or falls apart. Cheerio! Check out my site! www.deFotogravin.com PS Due to restrictions on uploading and a ban on YouTube by courtesy of Mr. Ghadaffi my videos could not be posted during my travel.

The hanging from one generation to another... The King and his family was ousted out, as he was about to leave -- people scream: "God bless the rebels!" They said so, not me! Not in so many words, I'm just paraphrasing as it happened -- decades ago. It happened that month of September on the entrance of a bunch of dictators... a quite revolution broke out and suddenly a young dictator was ruling an oil country in North Africa. more: sand-grain.blog.ca

- Ultimatum to rebels - Libyan tribes declared mercenaries by TNC - NATO lies about mustard gas - Abu Salim liberated from rebels - TNC and NATO disagree on why rebels retreated during Libyan forces attack - NATO Special Ops forces taken by Libyan forces - NATO Special Ops killed - Libyan forces arrest spy - Ten killed by NATO in Sirte - Roads cleared of rebels between Algeria and city of Sirte WHAT DO THE CRIMINALS HAVE TO SAY? September 15, 2011 TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) - British Prime Minister David Cameron has sent a strong message to Moammar Gadhafi and his followers still waging war in Libya to "give up" the fight, warning that NATO's mission will continue "as long as it is necessary" to protect Libyans. Cameron spoke at a press conference alongside French President Nicolas Sarkozy on Thursday - the first world leaders to travel to Libya since revolutionary forces seized the capital and ousted Gadhafi. Both countries led international support for the rebellion. To Gadhafi and his supporters, Cameron said "It is over, give up" and added: "Anyone who thinks Gadhafi has any role (in ruling the country) should forget it." apnews.myway.com
