Where other countries discover ancient buildings and architecture beneath the land and ancient scrolls or written archives. we Somalians discover ancient rock paintings. I should be happy but wallahi I am not because rock paintings have been discovered all over the globe wax lagu faano maaha it just means savages roamed our lands.

Those animals depicted lived until very recently in puntland and somaliland their demise started when the English came around. somaliland was the perfect hunting ground in those days around 150 years ago

We could if we revive the environment of those regions in the north by reviving the nugaal river and planting trees, Reintroduce our lost megafauna

A lot of people talk about elephants once living in Somalia but seem to forget that rhinoceroses did as well. They lived all over the country and we used to use their hides to craft shields.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_rhinoceros

The black rhinoceros or hook-lipped rhinoceros(Diceros bicornis) is a species of rhinoceros, native to eastern and southern Africa including Botswana, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Swaziland, Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. Although the rhinoceros is referred to as black, its colors vary from brown to grey.

Historical black rhinoceros range in 1700.

For most of the 20th century the continental black rhino was the most numerous of all rhino species. Around 1900 there were probably several hundred thousand living in Africa. During the latter half of the 20th century their numbers were severely reduced from an estimated 70,000 in the late 1960s to only 10,000 to 15,000 in 1981. In the early 1990s the number dipped below 2,500, and in 2004 it was reported that only 2,410 black rhinos remained.

They are now critically endangered due to poaching.

The rhino can make a comeback but it will rely on the help of Africans to preserve their habitat

I can see that happening once we're developed. Rhinos are cool would be nice to have them back.

Might be too late by then though

Maybe rhinos and other animals could help us develop look at tanzania kenia and south africa. Somalia only needs to be safe for tourism

good chance the people who painted those animals where not even related to us. Cushites have only been in the horn for at least 5000 years. Cows and Camels would have already been domesticated instead of being wild as in those paintings. Probably some hoba hoba African tribe that got ripped out by our ancestors.

Who lived in somalia before us?? Obviously not bantus maybe nilotes. but I think the people who painted those animals are related to us
