references to the Gétules are those of the Carthaginians, who indicated that the Prince of the Gétules proposed to marry Élyssa (or Dido for the Romans), the founding queen of Carthage (present Tunisia) around 815 BC. However, references in ancient Egypt of certain tribes that go back to 1350 BC, during the reign of Akhenaton of the eighteenth dynasty, speak of cattle trade with this people. The Gétules are probably the origin of the Berber calendar, which begins around 943–949 BC, which would be after the victory of a coalition of Gétules over the Egyptians. This coalition, formed by the North African tribes, left southwestern Algeria, increasing its force as it passed through North Africa. The coalition led by Sheshonq (Berber name: Sheshnaq) defeated Pharaoh Psousennes II. Following this victory, Sheshnaq married the pharaoh's daughter, settled on the throne of Egypt under the name of Sheshonq in 952 BC, and founded the XXII Dynasty. This biblical event is mentioned in the Old Testament, which speaks of the pillaging of this leader of the Machaouach tribe. (The Berber calendar is a creation of Ammar NEGADI, who chose this date for origin.His calendar was published in 1980 through the Association Union du Peuple Amazigh -UPA). The Gétules are Berber nomads of the pre-Saharan of North Africa and speak the Berber language with some variations. They came from the desert of the Caspian Sea (the world's largest inland sea, bordering present-day Iran) and were forced to migrate after the destruction of a natural dam left them without a water source for their livestock. Specialists of the desert life, they settled on the edge of the Nile. The pharaohs hunted them in the sixth century BC. While traversing the desert, they arrived with the Taureg at Tassili, where they stayed a long time, got mixed up with the Tuareg and learned the Tamazigh language for cultural and commercial exchanges. However, they felt out of place and decided to continue north. In Algeria, they settled at the edge of the Aures, where they posed problems to Roman infiltration in the 3rd century BC because they were good horsemen and dreaded in combat. It was necessary to involve a late Roman politician, Marius, to negotiate exploration of the South against concessions of agricultural land around Cirta and Setifis, at the time under Roman rule; a trick of dispersing them and so diminished in their strength.
