The Garamantes (The Forgotten Civilisations of Africa Book 4)

The Garamantes are the sole people that managed to create a civilisation in the middle of the Sahara desert (with even their own style of pyramids akin to those of Egypt!)

They only had temporary rivers (wadis) but they managed to develop an ingenious underground water system that allowed them to tap water directly from the table water that lies tens of meters (sometimes hundreds of meters) under the surface.

They were also great warriors that roamed the desert in their chariots tracked by horses and they collected a toll from all the numerous caravans that needed to cross their vast empire (that stretches as far as Sudan).

They were so powerful that Rome had to intervene if they wanted to remain the dominant civilisation in North Africa...which was not easy!
