I'm asking this QUITE seriously, before I get flaamed for it, okay?

>I read this:
or through Timbuktu
(a powerful sub-Saharan African state for several hundred years with
Berber trade contacts)<

And I had 2 questions arise:

1.  Is that who we get the style of "berber carpets" from?
and
2.  What's a "Berber"??

Always,
Tristan
