Abstract:

 This article aims to shed light on the historical and cultural significance of the scientific and artistic creativity of the Amazigh people in North Africa before the advent of Islam, considering them among the oldest communities that contributed to shaping the civilization of the region and its interaction with the Mediterranean world. Through the study of their material and intellectual heritage, it becomes evident that the Amazigh were not merely passive recipients of external influences, but active creators who played a key role in forging a distinctive cultural identity. Their creativity is reflected in various domains such as architecture, visual arts, metalwork, rock engravings, and social organization. The article draws on the latest historical and archaeological findings to offer a renewed reading of the Amazigh contribution to the broader trajectory of human civilization, highlighting their essential role in shaping urban and cultural development in North Africa and reaffirming their position as a fundamental component in the civilizational dialogue across the Mediterranean.
