Mudaneyaal iyo marwooyin, soo gala thread-kaan.
I can't believe what I discovered.
Here we were thinking all along we are Cushites but turns out we might not even be Hamites, Noahites or even Sethites.
We might be CAINITES (or Qabeelites after the arabic Qabeel, no wonder we are qabilist).
Let me explain (a little reverse engeneering is needed:
Lamech, the great-great-great-grandson of Cain had three sons and a daughter:
Jabal, "the father of those who dwell in tents and have livestock",
Jubal, "the father of all those who play the harp and flute",
and their half-brother Tubal-Cain, the forefather of all blacksmiths and "An instructor of every craftsman in bronze and iron".
My humble theory is that most Somalis are descendants of Jabal, the first pastoralite, tent-dwelling herder. Maybe he is even known as Samaal(e) or one of his sons was known as such.
Some Somalis descend from his brother Jubal, especially those who excel in our various musical genres like kaban, qaraami, heelo etc. and entertainment in general (I'm looking to the north-west, if you didn't catch my drift, waryaada!).
And finally clans like Tumaal are obviously sons of Tubal-Cain the first blacksmith.
Of course we shouldn't take the current version of the bible as unaltered truth but I found the similarities quite striking.
Check out this Calaacal after Cain killed his brother and was cursed by God:
12 When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a wanderer shalt thou be in the earth.'
13 And Cain said unto the LORD: 'My punishment is greater than I can bear.
The only question is how tf did we escape the flood? We are not known to be good swimmers (even in the diaspora).
Plus is this the reason why our culture discriminates against Tumaal folk?
They must have been some fierce and dangerous warriors with a monopoly on sharp steel.
What y'all think? Are we Cushites or Cainites?
