Battle of Elephants, Abraha and Somali Mercenaries that conquered Arabia

[DJ255]

Somali historian Mohammad Artan states that the actual war of the Elephants had Somali mercs join as reinforcements from zeila's ports they went across into Arabia and the Ethiopians also used the zeila to cross into Arabia during their conquest of Arabia.

It was a Cushitic invasion and the Axum peak reached all way up to Roman Egypt during King Ezana , one most underrated Civilizations in history

There's a stelle during Ezana's rule which states the following: "Ezana, son of Ella Amida, king of the Aksumites, the Himyarites, Raeidan, the Ethiopians, the Sabaeans, Silei (Salhen), Tiyamo, the Beja and Kasou."

This notably also included the Kingdom of Rauso which is believed to be around the Hawd/Nugaal area. This well into the Somali peninsula.


Arab bedouins urinated on his newly built church and Abraha mustered up an an Cushitic/Horner army filled with elephants to crush the kaaba in order to teach the disrespectful Arabs a lesson, and defeated One Arab tribe after the other up to Mecca

Allah had to intervene personally to stop these guys

 

[lahaine]

I'm not sure about somalis being mercenaries but I know that Ezana probably had some somali people under his kingdom. Probably as far as berbera

 

[Reformed J]

Evidence of Rauso being Somali?

Evidence of Rauso being Somali?

Actually there's alot of middle eastern scholar that mentioned kingdom in nugaal valley and there's alot of cities in the river, makes sense tbh

Evidence of Rauso being Somali?

The Monumentum Adulitanum is a 4th-century monumental inscription by King Ezana of Axum recording his various victories in war. It is lost, but its text was copied down in the 6th century by Cosmas Indicopleustes in his Christian Topography. It describes how Ezana conquered a land and people called Rauso to the west of Aromata. The description of the land is congruous with modern-day Dollo Zone and Haud. also translated "Land of Incense" or "frankincense country":

I subjugated the peoples of Rauso who live in the midst of incense-gathering barbarians between great waterless plains.

British Anglican priest William Vincent described the region of Rauso as stretching westwards from Aromata all the way to the hinterlands of the hitherto prospective Adal Kingdom. During its extant existence, the contemporary polity to the north of Rauso was Sesea. The region of Rauso could also be congruous with the Nugaal plains of northern Somalia. Laurence P. Kirwan identified it with the Danakil Desert, inhabited today by the Afar.


Historians and us Somalis especially really underestimate the power and influence these Axumites had for atleast 400 years, they were without a doubt one of the Global Superpowers in those days, and Allah had to intervene to stop them lol

"Incense gathering barbarians ".

Sounds like he's insulting my ancestors, the fragrant people from the fragrant land. At least we knew how to cultivate Frankincense etc, and smelled of caraf and udgoon, whilst they smelled of urine, xaar and raw meat.

 

[Odious Delirium]

Mohammed artan told me that part of the army sailed off the ports of barbarah and took local mercs with them presumably somali

Idk about axumites they used to exaggerate many things they never reached Egypt
Nor is there a valid evidence of them occupying zeila
That's what kings do, claim lands that they don't actually rule
Btw share sources for that rauso kingdom being somali
Maybe macrobian age is over
We found another ancient Kingdom niggas

Cushitcs and Horners were, also most were Christians and those guys were on mission to educate these Arab mushrikeens, Abraha made mistake targeting Kaaba though as Allah promised Ibrahim (as) it wont be destroyed until End times

"The Archaeology of Ancient Christianity in the Somali Context: Burials (ca. Fourth–Twelfth century CE)
To my knowledge, this section is the first report of ancient Christianity in Somali territory. Yet in the Horn of Africa, Christianity goes back to the first few centuries of the Current Era, the earliest such practice in sub-Saharan Africa. In Somaliland, an ancient Christian burial has been found at the pre-Islamic and Islamic site of Aw-Barkhadle (see Map 4). This is the first stela marked with an ancient Christian cross, probably of Byzantine appearance. Often, ancient Christian cemeteries or burials are found in what are early Islamic ruined towns. This shows that the areas that blossomed as towns under Islam were most likely also significant pre-Islamic centres. The Somali region seems to have been linked with pre-Aksumite kingdoms and South Arabian cultures as indicated by the Himyarite and Sabaean writing in the ancient burial and rock art contexts. Furthermore, as the pre-Aksumite culture paved the way for the Aksumite culture, it seems that the Somali region is also part of that early Christianity which presumably spread eastwards from current-day Ethiopia. Interestingly, the distribution of Christian sites falls roughly in the same area as the decorated stelae cemeteries, again another common tradition in the Horn of Africa.

The cruciform is known as laanqayr, and tombs are very common in the archaeology of Somaliland. There are also megalithic burials where the stones are arranged in a cross. The area of Dhuxun (62), in Saahil region, has many cruciform burials as well as other megalithic burials. There are many isolated, single Christian burials, massive in their design, which we have not included in this report. Dhubato in the Hargeysa region and the Saahil area have many ancient Christian burials which are aligned as a cross. Sites such as Suuqsade (Xarago tir), and Dhuxun of Xagal, Gala Caddo (23) near Dhagah Kure, Aroori (Laanta gadaal baxday) (24), and Kal Bare (57) contain ancient Christian burials. There are also finds of Christian codices in Somaliland. These seem to be written in Ethiopian languages, including Ge‘es. Documentation and preservation of such ancient records is urgent. Currently, there are no measures in place by the Ministry to acquire this material due to lack of financial resources as well as awareness."

Combination of Christians and Waaqist

I said Mercenaries never said Boqortoya tf

Axum power of influence was much larger than most of us Somalis think, we are in denial though

But Birds of hell dealt with them anyways
