Cool it with the condescending attitude i am not saying joe rogan is a good source i was showing how cool somali archeological history was spoken about for brief moment on the biggest podcast in history.
Gaalos: How often do you think about the Roman Empire?
You only think that Somali states were all peace and loving merchants who traded with foriegners and never warred. You get offended whenever I talk about Somalis conquering
It's like no greeks called the eastern Roman empire "Byzantium" until western scholars starting calling it that during the renaissance.Flipping conspiracy nut Joe Rogan is not a good source for anything.
If you reverse image search that image you will find a description of this:
It's just a survey of funeral mounds. People burying their dead, that's why its all over the place.
Gareen was the name of the imperial family much like Walashma & Sa'ad Din .
Ajuuran was not what they called the state, it was a local nickname for taxing administrators that levy taxation from the populous and coordinating labour. It comes from the Arabic word Ashuur (Taxation) = Ashuuran basically.
It's similar to what is described in Futuh in these passages:
Then the emirs and the sultan replied, motivated by fear of the imam Ahmad,
may the Most High God have mcrcy upon him, โWe agree with what you have said
to us about this matter, and we will not oppose you.' Thereupon the imam Ahmad
sent one of his administrative officers to the [better off] people of the country, to
the cattle owners and to the farmers, to collect the alms tax from them.
Other times it's not just administrative officers that are sent out to collect tax. You read Imam Ahmed coordinating agricultural production directly:
The storyteller; may God have mcrcy upon him, says: So the Qurโanic teacher Abu Bakr reached the imam Ahmad who was in Zarba, sitting and giving commands to agricultural workers, โDo this and do that'. He knew nothing [of this matter] and had heard no news. Then the Qur'anic teacher Abu Bakr handed over their letter, and he read it and understood its contents. The imam then said to the Qur'anic teacher Abu Bakr. โReturn to them and tell them that what they want is vile, but let them do what they desire. I shall leave the country to them/
Locals didn't call their state Awdal or Mogadishu either, those were name of cheif commercial cities that outsiders knew them through. Their administrative capitals where centered somewhere else.
I dont think youre being honest, you have a very dismissive atitude and undertones of anti-somali. What is your personal origin?
Not only do people here exaggerate/overhype in their pretend game of cosplaying as over the top Somali nationalists that are interested in Somali history but then they peddle back and levy character attacks at the same group. So the dishonesty lies on yall.
It wasn't the Adal -Abyssinian war that made the region collapse. There was wars throughout the whole medieval period before that 1 war for 500 years even succession battles, rulers are disposed of, replaced, killed left and right revolutions happening but strangely enough the political structure and economic system remain durable and functional.
You don't know whay you're talking about if you think majority of Somali trade was done "internally"
Yes this was discussed for several pages, but the Adal Abyssinan war caused the collapse of the region.
Somaloid includes groups like Renadille
If the Futuh wasnt a holy war thrn what is? They literally called it a Jihad against thr Christian Empire. Ahmad gurey made it a point to burn down the churches and convert ethiopians he conquered
So you're saying germanic tribes conquered western Rome not because the roman state became weak and it's military grounded down over a century. But because some Germanics who jumped around in the mud and had no urban civilisation were just that superior that even Rome couldn't beat them at their usual strength?
"A resistance" nigga you call ethiopia having their churches burned, habasha slaves overflowing markets in Arabia so much we have second hand Arabic sources on it, mass conversions by adalite forces and Ethiopian Emperor fleeing deep into the mountain as his cities were razed or conquered by Adalite Forces a simple "resistance"??
