SOMALI ARCHAEOLOGY FEATURES ON JOE ROGAN'S PODCAST MENTION OF 171K SURVEYED SITES
- Thread starter daljirkadahsoon
- Start date
They are from the Somali City State era - from the time the Periplus was written and earlier
Could those city states have been under kingdoms at some point or were they controlled by tribal chiefs?
We don't have a lot of info there's some evidence for both.
It is also possible even likely that they had a structure not too different from Adal itself but way less centralised- a decentralised very loosely held together kingdom with a titular monarch but with regional/city governors being quite autonomous
CABDULWALI XASAN.
Cabdul's Status CLOSED until further notice.
Does this relate to the citadel?
Interesting are there archaeologists currently doing research or are they afraid going there to do extensive research?
Only archaeologists that have made any new surveys or research since the 70s ones sponsored by Siad Barre are the Spanish team that made the findings mentioned in the video- they used aerial drones and LIDAR to find 10,000s of sites that would otherwise not be found and are currently inaccessible.
Each Somali city state has 20k army with chest plates armor, they were kingdom of their own tbh
What source is this from I didn't know we had details like that!
This opone on of the city state, only 0.025 something was uncovered i kid u not, it said to had tempels
Chinese author visit the place
There are old buildings, right? Do you think there are buildings for Punt?
Probably it's more likely than not.
It would be pretty strange if there was nothing though erosion and destruction by natural causes might have made some places disappear.
Honestly, I'll be surprised if we get something out of them. In general, I want the period of ancient Somali cities when we were trading with the Romans and so on, and the period of the rise of Aksum I would be excited about that.
Finally, I managed to find that image with the a map of Somalia with the green dots showing archeological sites lol
Could you share it?
