Egyptian relations with the Libyan tribes through ancient Egyptian sources (From the pre-dynastic period to the Middle Kingdom(

Abstract

In this research paper, we will deal with the nature of the relationships between the ancient Libyan tribes and the Egyptian kings through ancient Egyptian sources. As the Libyan land is still silent regarding the history of Libya before the Phoenicians and Greeks landed on its land, this is what made researchers in the ancient Libyan history rely on the ancient Egyptian sources, which provided us with the names of the Libyan tribes, and on the Egyptian-Libyan relations, which have gained special importance in Egyptian foreign policy since The oldest ages..
