GENETICS Ethiopian aDNA (Axum n so n so)

Provide the Christian names secondly these qabiils began after islam so how do u want them to be Christians?

Well the leader of Habar Magdi was Garaad Dawit and the leader of Marexaan was Hiraabu Tewedros. What do you mean I want to? You sound stupid warya

There's also the interesting custom around the tomb of Sheikh Hussein where both Muslim Somalis and Oromos who visit it will take plaster off of his tomb and draw a cross on their foreheads. I've seen Sada Mire's writings of seeing this sort of custom at other sites as well. I think we're definitely reaching if we're gonna pretend like at least SOME Galbeed and Woqooyi Somalis weren't once Christians.

I have another theory, I recall reading about political hostages being taken from those in power up till recently, it was a common tactic in imperial Ethiopia, especially under emperors like Menelik II and Haile Selassie and was used previously by them in times of weakness, these sobriquets are probably kept even after the child comes back, seeing that they are fighting on the side of the Muslim, they have kept their religion.

That is plausible for some cases, but this explanation doesn’t account for all instances. Many of the pseudo-christian/hebrew names we recognize appear to be identical to their original Semitic forms, not their Ethiopian Christian variants. EC names were actually from Aramaic, then rendered in Greek before being introduced to Ge'ez. For exemple, Eli (Celi) and Simon (Shimcoon, as noted in the FAH) are much closer to the Hebrew/Aramaic originals than to the forms used in Ethiopian Orthodox circles.

When I say I believe there's something judeo-christian that's completely unrelated to the Highlanders' I really mean it

I wonder the relationship these Christian communities had with the local waaqists.

I rather my ancestors to be ahlul kitaab than cow worshippers

The Cushitic religion of Waaq was monotheistic. Don't compare us to the Oromos.

I dont doubt this but if these sculptures arent images of detiies then it makes you wonder what the sculptures were meant to represent?

You sound like an aunt of mine. I told her about the possibility of some Somalis during the pre-Islamic era being Christians and she goes, "Mashallah. Better ahlul kitaab than some idiots performing sujud before boombale."

The Oromos are monotheistic as well . They still worshipped cows and believe in sorts of dieties that are associated with this sky-God. Sorry brother but I rather be yahuudi and worship Hashem than worship Waaq and sacrifice cows for him and look for his signs in their intestines
