 Tin Hinan - Wikipedia
Tin Hinan ("Quella delle Tende", in tuareg) fu, secondo le tradizioni orali, la progenitrice dei Kel Ahaggar (Tuareg del Nord).
Le tradizioni orali su Tin Hinan sono state raccolte in diversi momenti e in diversi luoghi da vari autori, linguisti, etnologi e antropologi, e nel volume di Pandolfi (1998) è possibile passare in rassegna tutte le versioni esistenti.
I racconti sulla leggendaria figura di Tin Hinan, mitica regina di un popolo misterioso spinsero lo scrittore francese Pierre Benoit a comporre un romanzo avventuroso, L'Atlantide, che ebbe subito enorme successo di vendita e venne tradotto in molte lingue.

The reader is introduced to Tin Hinam, the ancestor of the noble Tuaregs of Hoggar, whose remains were found by a French-American archeological team in 1925.
In either case, the importance of Tin Hinam rests in her imagined legacy: an archaic alphabet, which, according to the narrator, she confided to her friends just before she died.
The antidote against erasure, against oblivion, seems to entail, like Tin Hinan's gesture, the passing down of language to others, the preservation of the voice, the silenced voice, through the act of writing.

 Byron Khun De Prorok. Mysterious Sahara... - Russian Bookstore: Travel, History, Language
By chance he learns of the location of Queen Tin Hinan's tomb - the legendary ancestral mother figure of the Tuareg (that's TUAreg, not TAUreg, as is irritatingly repeated in the no less lurid back cover blurb).
With Tin Hinan crated up, we're then treated to more impressions of the gruelling desert and a fruitless rummage around Siwa whose natives appear even more degraded than Matmatan troglodytes.
But what you can't take away is that Prorok was out there and doing it and in 1926 was indeed the first to ransack Tin Hinan's tomb at Abalessa, even if his partner Maurice Reygasse may have been the more archeological of the two (Reygasse went on to work with EF Gautier in the 1930s).

 The Diggers | TIME
In the Sahara, at Hoggar, a band of French and Americans— "Count" Byron Kuhn de Prorok,* Algerian officials, and Trustee W. Bradley Tyrrell of Beloit College (Wis.)—broke into the reputed tomb of Tin Hinan, semi-legendary queen and goddess of the white race of Tuaregs (Berbers).
In the crumbling frame of a carved wooden couch lay the six-foot skeleton of a personage, seemingly female, littered with beads, carbuncles, garnets, gold and silver objects, glass balls, with fl and yellow designs like eyes.
Professor Stephane Gsell of the College of France demonstrated before the Institute of France that Tin Hinan, whose tomb and skeleton he was inclined to believe had been found, could not have lived earlier than 1,000 B. C.; probably about 900 B. Others aimed their guesses at her actual date between those two centuries.
