How accurate are these maps?

[horumar]

I heard Sada mire found old south arabian inscriptions in Somaliland, but did they control the northern coast/

Who are the Ibro?

I assume they are just speculation, I couldn't find where the historical documents are, but is there any validity in this?

Who are the Ibro?

I think they meant Yibir.

 

[DrippinglyWet]

Not really it seems like a fanfiction map made out of limited information

Not scientific.

It is made by a White Canadian amateur 'Somali expert'.

 

[SultanuuFicaan]

These are maps made by James Dahl, who also created the Abtirsi site.

probably made by @Grant type

Grant actually lived in Somalia for a long time.

James Dahl is just a Canadian guy who is obsessed with Somalis 'from a distance' (never lived there).

What happened to Leelkase?

Can't speak to the accuracy, but I do notice a couple of interesting things:

The Bazrangid dynasty in the Banadir was Persian, very early (224 in Iran) and was centered at Kilwa. These folks would have preceded Himyar in Mogadisho and gives credence to the "Seat of the Shah" theory with respect to the name.

The Yibir (Ibro) and Midgaan (Gaboye) cover most of the North in 650 AD. The Isaaq and Darood don't form until 12th-13th centuries.

According to Sada Mire, the north coast was part of the Himyar/Saba cultural area and the full area of Somaliland was once ruled by Axum, when that empire conquered and ruled Yemen.

Himyar in Somalia? They controlled northern Ethiopia, nowhere near Somalia though

FAKE

It could've been any of the south arabian kingdoms, Saba, Qataban, Himyar or Hadhramaut

Their presence was in Ethiopia/Eritrea, hence them speaking a semitic language. The only Arab descendants in Somalia are the cad cads in the South.

So how did the inscriptions end up in Somalia?

Searched up the inscriptions and they're yet to be deciphered. That means that it can't be Himyarite or Sabaean. It isn't a south Arabian language anyway(those we know of)
