Comment: While the topic might be notable, we would need in-depth references, not just brief mentions like in Larousse and Encyclopaedia Universalis. "Hachid, 2000" isn't anywhere in the bibliography (see Wikipedia:Short citation for help on how to do that). Godron, 1990 is also only just a brief mention (by the way, please add the precise page numbers for easier review, in this case it was page 51).

Tehenu[1],[2] (in Ancient Egyptian and in Numidian language: Thnw or Tehenu), are an ancient Amazigh confederation which existed in the eastern-most part of ancient libya[3]. Sister confederations bordering them included the Temehu north, Meshwesh, and the Libu west (also known as Rebu). The name Tehenu became widely used in a larger sense by the Ancient Egyptians to refer to all Libyan tribes[4][5].

Geography
[edit]Tehenu confederacy occupied a territory known as eastern Libya which extended to the west bank of the Nile river in Faiyum the lower western portion the nile delta, all the way west almost to Cyrenaica, where the territory of the Libu/Rebu commences. Portions of the territory of the Tehenu was later incoorporated into ancient egypt and the Libyans became an integrated population of the First Egyptian Dynasty[7] with the queen of the Libyans Neithhotep queen consort over Egypt.
