The Macrobians

[The Macrobian]

Were they in Libya? Sudan? Somalia? Im hearing they weren't even Somali but rather Sudanese. Can anyone help me out?

Why do you want to associate with something, none of your ancestors even identified with?

 

[Idilinaa]

It's a greek mythology by Herodotus , there is no proof of any people called Macrobian existing because they are not collaborated by any other sources. The name ''Macrobian'' features in a lot of greek myths as well.

Even in the odd chance that they did exist, we don't have enough information to know who and where they were.

But we do have information on Somalia on the other hand which was a decentralized trading emporium with ports and settlements on the coast from 1st century BCE . This is confirmed by written records and archeology.

The story of a man sending a unstrung bow & arrow to Romans in Egypt could be Sudan is what some folk argue,

But the descriptions of both people and location can be attributed to Somalia.

** Persian invaders in Egypt not Romans

German and Indian scholar in 1800s made this claim.

Who were the original inhabitants of Somaliweyn before Somalis? Minor Cushitic and hunter and gathering groups?
