Azul,

As I'm thinking about the start of Berber Heritage month tomorrow, I'm wondering if texts like those written by former King Ben such as "The Berber Project" still exist somewhere. There are other topics I'd like to explore so I hope our Archivist, @GV, will have some insight.

Thank you! I had quite forgotten about that section of the Wiki.

It must be understood Ben Madison never, ever meant for "the Berber Project" to be taken seriously.  It was always a tongue-in-cheek mythos and more of an experiment on Ben's part.

With Ben's wordsmithing, historical knowledge, and propoganda-bent, "The Berber Project" became a masterpiece in historical revisionism so convincing in at least one scholarly work, it has actually been cited as a legitimate source!

Ben pointed out that incident years ago, but I cannot remember where it is.

Ben Madison's ability to get people to believe utter lies and nonsense using the "apparatus" of academic authority is probably not unrelated to his ability to run a cult operation within Talossa for so many years. Another example of his ability to make forgeries plausible is cited in this piece on the "Voree Plates" of Strangite Mormonism.

I apparently read that same "scholarly work", because I remember seeing the Berber Project cited in it. I can't remember what it was in either.
