What inspired to me begin taking this idea of a deeper ancient eygptian and somali connection seriously. Was that one video I saw on Twitter of an old eygptian folk song.

How was it possible for something like waxa which is one of the most basic grammatical constructions in somali to be used in an pre-islamic coptic eygptian folk song.
