Museum, Tripoli, Libya - Unravel Travel TV
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, known as The Conflict Museum. In 1982, in a joint venture with the UNISCO, the museum was further developed to its current state and became known as Assaraya Alhmara museum, which reopened its doors to the public in 1988. The museum occupies 10,000 square meters and is widely recognised as one of the most important and richest museums in the world; owing to its unique collection of original items spanning all periods of human's civilisation on this planet, right from the stone age and the prehistoric civilisations of the great Sahara desert to the medieval periods and the present day. Libya is rich in archaeology, with most of its prehistoric secrets still buried under the desert's sand and beneath the sea's water, for future generations to rediscover and bring to life once more.

Libya (12/2010) - Tripoli, Medina
Tripoli (Arabic: طرابلس Ṭarābulus)- also طرابلس الغرب Ṭarābulus al-Gharb Libyan vernacular: Ṭrābləs pronunciation; derived from Τρίπολη; the Greek word for three cities in Greek: Τρίπολις Tripolis) is the largest city and capital of Libya.
The Tripoli metropolitan area (district area) has a population of 1,065,405 (2006 census). The city is located in the northwest of the country on the edge of the desert, on a point of rocky land projecting into the Mediterranean Sea and forming a bay. Tripoli was founded in the 7th century BC by the Phoenicians, who named it Oea.
Tripoli is the largest city, the principal sea port, and the largest commercial and manufacturing center in Libya. It is also the site of Al-Fateh University. Due to the city's long history, there are many sites of archaeological significance in Tripoli. The climate is typical Mediterranean, with hot, dry summers, cool winters and some modest rainfall.
The city's old town is still unspoiled by mass-tourism, though it is increasingly being exposed to more and more visitors from abroad, following the lifting of the UN embargo in 2003. However, the walled Medina retains much of its serene old-world ambiance. The Assaraya al-Hamra (the Red Castle), a vast palace complex with numerous courtyards, dominates the city skyline and is located on the outskirts of the Medina. There are some classical statues and fountains from the Ottoman period scattered around the castle.
The Gurgi and Karamanli mosques, with their intricate decorations and tilework, are examples of the artistic skills of local craftsmen. Just outside the Gurgi mosque is the Arch of Marcus Aurelius, the only surviving Roman monument in the city. More and more palaces (especially from the Karamanli period) are also being restored and opened to the public. The basic street plan of the medina was laid down in the Roman period when the walls were constructed as protection against attacks from the interior of Tripolitania, and are considered well planned, possibly better than modern street plans. In the 8th century a wall on the sea-facing side of the city was added.
Three gates provided access to the old town: Bab Zanata in the west, Bab Hawara in the southeast and Bab Al-Bahr in the north wall. The city walls are still standing and can be climbed for good views of the city. The Bazaar is also known for its traditional ware; fine jewelery and clothes can be found in the local markets.

Libya Jamahiriya Vlog Tripoli Hostel 28 01 11.mov
My first attempt to Vlog.
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 vlog 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!

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

It is located in the northwest of Libya on the edge of the desert, on a point of rocky land projecting into the Mediterranean Sea and forming a bay. It includes the port of Tripoli and the country's largest commercial and manufacturing centre. It is also the site of the University of Tripoli. The vast Bab al-Azizia barracks, which includes the former family estate of Muammar Gaddafi, is also located in the city. Colonel Gaddafi largely ruled the country, from his residence in this barracks.
Tripoli was founded in the 7th century BC by the Phoenicians, who named it Oea. Due to the city's long history, there are many sites of archaeological significance in Tripoli. Tripoli may also refer to the shabiyah (top-level administrative division in the current Libyan system), the Tripoli District.
Tripoli is also known as Tripoli-of-the-West (Arabic: طرابلس الغرب Ṭarābulus al-Gharb), to distinguish it from its Phoenician sister city Tripoli, Lebanon, known in Arabic as Ṭarābulus al-Sham (طرابلس الشام), meaning Levantine Tripoli. It is affectionately called The Mermaid of the Mediterranean (عروسة البحر ʿArūsat al-Baḥr; lit: bride of the sea), describing its turquoise waters and its whitewashed buildings. Tripoli is a Greek name that means Three Cities, introduced in Western European languages through the Italian Tripoli. In Arabic, it is called طرابلس, Ṭarābulus (pronunciation ; Libyan Arabic: Ṭrābləs, pronunciation ; Berber: Ṭrables, from Ancient Greek: Τρίπολις Trípolis).

Gaddafi's Negative and Lasting Influence on Libya's Cinema
TRENDING | Gaddafi outlawed cinema in Libya during his reign, a tool many feel in the country can help fight terror and conflict. Our Daniel Campos has the story.
Leptis Magna, Trypolis w 3D - Zbiory Muzealne i miasto rzymskie 2005
Leptis Magna -- ważny port handlowy Cesarstwa Rzymskiego, tworzący wraz z Sabratha i Oeą Trójmiasto (Trypolis). Miasto założone zostało w VII w. p.n.e. przez Fenicjan z Sydonu. Znajdują się tu najlepiej zachowane ruiny starożytnego miasta rzymskiego.
Później w Leptis Magna zamieszkiwali Kartagińczycy. Miasto bogaciło się dzięki portowi, przez który do Rzymu przepływał strumień afrykańskich bogactw: niewolnicy, kość słoniowa, złoto, oliwa, dzikie zwierzęta do cyrków. Następnie miasto przejęli Rzymianie. W II w.n.e. cesarzem został Septymiusz Sewer (urodzony w Leptis Magna), który razem z synami zbudował wiele monumentalnych budowli, dzięki którym Leptis jest dzisiaj sławne. Gdy miasto w X w. opuścili ostatni mieszkańcy, nic na jego miejscu już nie budowano. Miasto robi ogromne wrażenie. Z powodu politycznej izolacji Libii powierzchnia miasta zbadana została w około 40%.
W 1982 r. stanowisko archeologiczne Leptis Magna zostało wpisane na listę światowego dziedzictwa UNESCO.
W pierwszej kolejności zwiedzamy Muzeum Leptis Magna, gdzie zgromadzono wiele rzeźb i różnych przedmiotów wydobytych podczas wykopalisk w Leptis Magna. Następnie zwiedzamy pozostałości miasta rzymskiego. Do miasta prowadzi imponujący Łuk Triumfalny Septymiusza Sewera. Dalej oglądamy łaźnie z czasów cesarza Hadriana, forum, bazylikę, targ i amfiteatr na 5 tys. widzów.
Wiele eksponatów z Leptis Magna znajduje się w Jamahiriya Museum w Trypolisie, które zwiedzamy na końcu. Jest tu jedna z najlepszych kolekcji sztuki antycznej w rejonie basenu Morza Śródziemnego wyeksponowana w 47 chronologicznie urządzonych galeriach.
NATOs Crimes In Libya & Libya's Children
21/sept/11 Reports from the ground depict scenes of chaos outside the town of Bani Walid, witnesses claim that NATO militiamen and Mercenaries are once again fighting each other, many fighters have been shot, and one fighter's head have been blown off by an RPG.
This comes as fighting intensifies in the Capital, scenes of heavy fighting and explosions have been reported, also reports that Libyans have raised the Green flag over the Green Mountains in the east. Scenes of celebrations were posted in Tarhuna as reports suggests that the town have been liberated by its own people.
Once again NATO Mercenaries have been forced to flee Sirte after receiving heavy casualties, now waiting for NATO to terrorize the city once again.
NATO Militias and Mercenaries claim that only 45 people have been killed and that over 400 injured, hospitals are filled, NATO Special Ops who are injured are sent abroad for treatment.
Other reports suggests that over a hundred NATO Mercenaries and Militiamen have been killed and unknown numbers injured.
Rape was just one of many brutal tools used by NATO mercenaries to silence Libyans, and force them in to submission. Many brutal cases emerged, but no organization condemned such atrocities, nor promised to hold NATO responsible for the atrocities.
Cases after cases of brutal and merciless rapes in the hands of NATO mercenaries came forward, but the media completely silent.
Instead the media with International organizations fabricated stories about the Libyan Government using rape as a weapon of war, which was quickly sent to rubbish as a fabricated lie.
The media has finally decided to show a glimpse of NATO terrorism in Libya, this video shows some of the victims of NATO mercenaries, rape was definitely one of the tools of oppression used by NATO.
21/sept/11 The footage which CNN is showing is old, from when they just entered Sabha, no resistance at all, because it was a trap. When they advanced inwards they received heavy casualties and were forced to flee according to reports and sources within Libya.
Right now they are playing a propaganda war like they played in Sirte, they already retreated from Sirte but NATO media continually said they controlled part of the city. It is to decrease the moral of Libyans and make them surrender, but that won't happen.
The Sirte propaganda ended up being lies, they received heavy casualties then fled and waited for NATO to implement another round of terror operations.
That being said, wait a day or two, then they will be forced to report the truth.
At the small town of Ragdalin a similar trap was set, when civilians went and told NATO forces that the town had surrendered, once they entered the town, they were surrounded and received heavy casualties, many fled leaving their fellow Mercenaries behind to be killed or captured.
