The only scientific thing that is interesting about Somalis is their knowledge of the stars and astrology, Other things are primitive stuff

You dislike when people speak down on arabs but you speak down on your own people.

Hmm

Somalis were trading far and wide im sure they would need a measurement unit for trading purposes.

It would make sense for somali to have a measurement system native or not.

Some of the Ethiopian measurements sound similar to Somali measurements which could point to a native system.

People are depleted of intelligence if they think our ancestors traded globally for thousands of years without a basic measurement system. This is an impossible claim.

I think if we have got geometric names for these shapes, esp. 'gumbur' and 'sedjibeke' then surely we do have methods of measurements, which might have been lost.

Anyone here went to a Somali school? What do they teach you when it comes to measurements units?
