Antiquity
During prehistory, the Berbers got established in Morocco coming from eastern
Asia through the north and the south. In fact, first men lived 50 000 years ago
and "Rabat man" is the older Neanderthal found in the country. |

Then around 8 000 BC, Stone Age with Paleolithic and Neolithic
Ages began lately in Morocco. At the end of the second millenium BC, probably
during the 10th century BC, the Phoenicians created trading posts on Moroccan
Mediterranean coast, what made the Berbers evolve directly into Iron Age and thus
skip Bronze Age. |
The 6th c BC let the Carthaginians control Moroccan coasts before they were taken
over by the Sicilians at the end of the 4th c BC. The Romans finally won the latter
in 236 BC and started annexing northern Morocco after the collapse of Cartage
in 146 BC. And in 33 BC, Rome imposed its government on northern Morocco called
Tingitanian Mauretania, took Tingis as its capital and annexed it completely in
42 AD. During the 2nd c AD, Rome occupied territories beyond Moroccan Sahara and
from the 3rd c, the Berbers who were most Jewish began partially to embrace Christianity.
