B) EL AMIR ABDELKADER:
Prince Abdul Qadir established a strong Islamic state and organized a national army that stood in the face of the world's largest land-state at the time. The position of the prince, and the heavy losses inflicted on the invaders, led them to hope to control the country. "These plans did not find any benefit.

1: THE TASSILI mestery :
Located in a strange lunar landscape of great geological interest, this site has one of the most important groupings of prehistoric cave art in the world. More than 15,000 drawings and engravings record the climatic changes, the animal migrations and the evolution of human life on the edge of the Sahara from 6000 BC to the first centuries of the present era. The geological formations are of outstanding scenic interest, with eroded sandstones forming ‘forests of rock’.
There are numerous mysterious surrounding the ancient inhabitants of the Tassili Caves. Archaeologists have not been able to find burial sites in the area, but the most incredible feature are perhaps the mysterious depictions of strange beings with helmets and suits, resembling modern-day astronauts according to many researchers.
These mysterious depictions have fueled debate among researchers. Why would they depict; rivers, jungles, and animals native to the region in the past, and then depict something that they did not see (according to mainstream archaeology): the strange humanoid figures with helmets and suits? The ancient people of the Tassili Caves portrayed their everyday life and their experiences; they did not invent these humanoid figures, which in some cases, are even depicted with mysterious antennas on their helmets.
Is it possible, as ancient astronaut theorists suggest, that the natives of the Tassili Caves depicted the ancient astronaut that visited them in the past 10,000 years ago? According to many researchers, it is a possibility.
