Yes? Yes? Yes? Three points? Congratulations?
Local Berbers had apparently been quietly living there since ancient times (perhaps since the fall of Carthage), but outsiders were unaware of them until 1967 -- just in time to inspire Star Wars.
Here's the Wiki article on Matmāta.
The standings:- Hal, 22 points
- steinhenge, 8 points
- Hawks, 5.5 points
- lorddix, 4 points
- Randy, 3 points
- sailinsoul, 3 points
- bngbuck, 2 points
- Simon, 2 points
- Dave W., 1 point
(Ties are listed in alphabetical order.)
