message: Re the image of the tomb purported to be that of Massinissa on this page: despite being long thought to be the tomb of Massinissa, it is now considered to be the tomb of his son, Micipsa. I have noted this in the text related to the photo but perhaps the attribution of the photo itself should be altered. See Christine Hamdoune, "Massinissa, roi african et allié de Rome" No. 345 (2009) L'Histoire 82-87 at p. 87.99.240.139.189 (talk) 01:17, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: File:Bust of Massinissa.jpg Nominated for speedy Deletion

message: Masinissa tomb is located in El-khroub, there is even a picture in this article that shows you the exact shape of the tomb and says (was not added by me) that the tomb is located in El khroub.
The Libyco-Punic Mausoleum of Dougga doesn't contain any bones or any evidence that a human body was burried there.
It was built in honnor of Masinissa (and later restored)
However the tomb of El khroub contains the remains of an old man (estimated age 90 years) and a baby .
Masinissa died at the age of 90 that is why it is believed that this was the real tomb.
Moreover, the tomb is near the capital city of Cirta (Capital during the reign of Masinissa).
I even added a video that explains this clearly, if you understand arabic, you'll maybe understand something.

replies: text: There does seem to be some debate but even the Libyco-Punic Mausoleum of Dougga article doesn't say it is definitely his mausoleum though it mentions it may be a cenotaph.  I've switched the order of the pictures.  --Erp (talk) 21:13, 20 August 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Tomb 

message: In most literature, you'll find the name Gaia and not Gala.
That's why I changed the name from Gaia to Gala while still keeping the other name Gala as an alternative.
Most literature on the subject is in french or arabic, so this should help.
