It was found 25/15km from Dire Dawa. In a Somali historically inhabited area.
Whats interesting is that they found water supply infrastructure and drainage that carried the water to irrigate the surounding hills and areas.
It fits the general regional theme of hydraulic engineering that was prevalent across the Somali landscape especially during the medieval period.
I think they might have also replicated this in Northern Somalia, as i remember reading that there is indications of terrace agriculture near some of the ruins

We need to call out archeologists i highly doubt these are Natural hills look at the top it has stripesThis is reminding me of the (false) pyramid debate surrounding Naaso Hablood

The hills are beautiful, I recommend seeing them irl
It looks like a step pyramid, especially due to its terraced, symmetrical layers near the top, which are often characteristic of man-made pyramidal structures, but it could also be natural usually caused by erosion.
No excavations have been done in the northern regions inhabited by somalis, waqooyi galbeed prolly has loads of artifacts and pottery from the ancient egyptian times. Funny thing is, everytime i watch a documentary about Ancient egypt and the land of punt, they go as close as yemen and eritrea but never mention somalis, Somalis i believe have the most biggest things under their soil waiting to be excavated,
Its intresting to think we practiced terraced agriculture since that seems to have been the dominant mode of agriculture in both Ethiopia and Yemen as well.
If somalia was significantly wetter 2 thosuand years ago than its likely our focus on coastal centers is off and that the real larger urban centers where inland. I mean those head sculptures and the gold anima figures are a testament to a very sopshictaed knowledge of metalworking and sculpture making. Those sculptures certainly must have been stored in some sort of relegious temple.

How does erosion cut rocks like that it doesn't make any sense
Keep in mind that layers of rock erode at different rates, due to variation in their hardness and resistance to weathering, if that is a hill it would be made up sandstone, limestone and shale, between rain and wind abrasion, constant temperature swings(hot days and cold nights and it's in a alleviated position) would intensify the erosion, usually by creating those sharpened angular lines.
