1400-1500 would be when modern day xamar jajab was inhabited. Then there was a period of decline. Wars, drought, famines all had an impact on the population throughout centuries

How much would you estimate banaadiris to be today given there population in 1850 @Banadiri Warrior

500,000 maximum, by population in 1850 do you mean Guillains rough estimations of town populations?

Yes I mean based of the 1850 estimate by the author

 

[Banadiri Warrior]

Yes I mean based of the 1850 estimate by the author

I think the total of what he estimated would be around 20,000 that would include banadiris that were in established communities in the interior aswell

So u telling me serapion had zero population

 

[killerxsmoke]

So u telling me serapion had zero population

This is just an estimate on the amount of sources we have about Mogadishu

Who said sarapion was exactly mogadishu?

Who said sarapion was exactly mogadishu?

Because that’s what most scholars agree upon.

 

[Banadiri Warrior]

Because that’s what most scholars agree upon.

Bring evidence for that claim

Can you please state the source. Sarapion is a Greek name for a city. Sarapion means bright or shining light. Sarapion is not the indigenous or local name of the town, but just the Greek version. The exact location of Sarapion is unknown, but it is believed to be located somewhere on the Banadir coast.

For context, Kerma - a Middle Bronze Age city established by our cousins - had a population of 10,000 in 1750BC. Damn LMAO

Banadiri are probably nor more than 200,000. Gibil Cad Banadiri are maybe 60,000 max.

Banadiri are probably nor more than 200,000. Gibil Cad Banadiri are maybe 60,000 max.

Gibil Cad are the majority, as proven by all censuses taken on banaadir coast. So whatever the numbers of all banadiris are currently Gibil Cads would be more than 60%

100% there's other greek names that were given to certain banaadir towns such as the ones mentioned in Claudia Ptolemy , there's over a dozen ancient sites in banaadir proven by manuscripts, local oral sources and even of people of interior and also excavations.
