This is something that i just realized and was honesty blown away by. It occurred to me when I though about why somali nomads built our aqals out of wood versus the arab bedouins who use tents. Then it hit me its because wood is extremely scarce for them these guys had to make do with using animal hairs because wood was far too rare. Ive been trying for the past couple hours to find any examples of arab bedouisn using wooden storage vessels or wooden combs or anything wooden related that every somali nomad had. But ive basically found nothing.
Literally all of the objects in this picture which are so common in somalia that every single nomad likley owned several of them . Are basically nonexistent among Arab bedouins. Whats even crazier is that I couldn't find a single image of an arabian camel bell on Google they were all somali. I want you guys to just sit and think about the implications behind that for a second.
