Some ancient Moroccan cities have known a history full of achievements dating back to prehistoric human civilizations, as is the case with the ancient city of Tamouda.
The book “Natural History” written by “Pliny the Elder,” who died in 79 AD, is considered the oldest text mentioning the city of “Tamuda”.
He reported that it was overlooking a navigable river connecting the city to the Mediterranean, and a port that is not left today.
The archaeological remains that were found at this site highlight the high level of civilization reached by this city during the second and first centuries BC.
But the time of glory ended and the city of Tamouda fell into a deep sleep under the rubble, until the shovels of archaeologists awakened it to reveal to us some of its secrets and hidden holdings.
The cave "Taht Laghar" is also considered among the archaeological sites that knew the settlement of ancient civilizations in northern Morocco, and is located about 10 kilometers south of the city of "Tetouan".
In 1956, the Spanish researcher “Luis Miguel de Taradil” excavated inside a cave “Under Lagar”, which led to the detection of human presence in it for at least 10 thousand years.
Then came the studies of the National Institute of Antiquities and Moroccan Heritage to confirm that the site already knows very ancient civilizations.
