History

In the early 19th century the hill of Timezrit was the location of a mosque with a minaret and a market held on Sundays, Had-Timezrit. This was the central market of the Iflisen Umellil, shared between the Oulad Yahia Moussa, the Rouafa, and the Beni-Hammad. Nearby was the village of Ihaddaden.[2]

gollark: I wonder if you could somehow "skim" through the upper layers of the sun with a ridiculously large amount of mass to ablate and probably some stupidly high velocity.
gollark: A crater, probably, depending on how large it is.
gollark: The earth is large, and quite solid.
