As far as the Maures being black however, I don't recall any specific description of this tribe of people by Roman sources, describing them as black. As you probably are aware of, the Maures gave their name to the current Morrocco
yes the name maure was the root for the word moor,but what you seen to misunderstand the people inb morocco today are not the people iam talking about. I am talking about the people called maure by greeks and romans which the bzyhantine described as being dark skinned darker than other northern africans.
morocco was actually named that by spainards. The first city in morocco was founded by a man named yusef ibn tashfin,which is described by ibn butlan and being brown skinned with wooly hair.
He was the leader of the almoravid.
I never even mentioned carthage,nor did i say carthage was a black civlization. shomaka keita a bio anthropologist however has found that 20 percent of the findings of burial are negriod.
Afers who the roam writter virgil describes as fuscus,thick lipped and dark skinned people
I supose maybe you need to read again
most of the moors when they went formspain went to mauritania,not morocco which was named by spainish colonizers
