These ruins have not been dated yet.

Most likely they are thousands of years old because the tombs in Somalia from the 1100s/1200s are still fresh and intact. These are ways older but we have to wait until they are dated. Whatever they are they are older than 1000 years

They need to be x10 older than that to even be considered as Land of Punt related. Until archaeological research is done, it's impossible to know, it is impossible to tell by image, mainly because of natural causes like weathering etc.

Land of Punt was around 3500-2700 years ago m8 not that long ago. It can't be older than Egypt the inventor of civilization

you're right though. These could be from the Iron Age when there were city states in the North (land of Berber). Archaeological research must be done

I'm just saying it was around 10,000 years ago as the Egyptians mentioned the land 20,000+ years ago.

They've already done research on mummified baboons there.

There are countless burials and cairns like these scattered around the North.

Now moving on to actual ruins of cities/settlements from Land of Punt

Ruined ancient city walls

I don't know what this last one is. Maybe a temple

It's hard finding ancient city ruins because they most likely have been destroyed looted and burned down or simply abandoned and the materials used by people to build other things.

What is clearly visible by using satellite view though is the carving and digging of earth done by the people who were building these cities. and these are so god damn many :damn:

Some satellite images of ground carved by ancient city builders

Imagine if these places are studied :banderas:

Or better yet. Imagine how many more of these are out there not yet discovered :wow:

Nation branding is vital to economic growth.

Content is important to a countries branding index. I always talk about this because it is simple and falls in 3 categories: Behaviour, Content and Reputation.

I can bet my life on it that Augmented reality will pay a significant role in restoring the content in Somali culture and ancient history.

It will costs you under 100k to build a virtual museum online by sourcing coders from Indonesia--cheap labour to growth hack. Building awareness is the major milestone to achieve this goal. You can print 3D models or sell canvas art depicting Ancient Greek merchants sorting spice grades of the Cape Guarduafi ( Aromata promontorium)

A startup will come out in the next 5-10 years that can build virtual ancient cities of how the Somali peninsula looked dating back 5000 years. All the information posted in this thread is a drop in the bucket; we haven't even checked the seabed for ancient ships capsizing off the Horn of Africa.

Being able to put this information on beautiful layedout virtual museum that is backed by code, will start the conversation in seperating us from this Arabian culture highjacking.

We can post 1000s of articles and source information to back our claims, but if a startup doesn't sieze this opportunity it will always fall on deaf ears.

Monitizing our history is the first step preserving our history.
