Okay I think I found the final piece of the puzzle. It explains how exactly trade in the 4th millennium b.c between Mesopotamia and eygpt might have actually happened. @The alchemist

Its ironically exactly the same situation as the wadi hammat. In Saudi Arabia, there is a wadi call wadi rummah. It's one of the longest wadi's in the country it starts in Medina and goes all the way to the middle of the country and then goes underground

Then there is a second wadi called wadi al batin, which is actually part of wadi rummah and goes from where it reappears underground to Kuwait.

And here's basically what the full route would look like on Google maps

I also honestly seemed to have underestimated the impact of the donkey since it seems like the massive cities of Mesopotamia only came into existence in the uruk period and this period started in the beginning of the 4th millennium b.c and the transition seems to have been in motion a little bit before that. All the major hallmarks of civilization seems to have developed in that time and it represented a massive change from the earlier ubaid period.

1 It seems like you need long distance trade for civilization and that without pack animals its not really possible.

Do you mean you think that ? Becuase I obviously dont this whole thread was about proving that connection. In fact everything lines up so perfectly that anybody who reads about all the connections would have to be legitimately insane to deny it.

A typo, I mean “ I think”. I think the Somalia-Egypt connection is overrated, and even perhaps nonexistent.

I dont blame you for thinking that so did I and everybody else. At most people assumed some eygptians were arriving in somalia due to the punt expeditions.


But once you look at the geography of the horn of africa and connect that with the periplus,medieval historical accounts from the rasulid period and the 19/20th century European explorer writings. It becomes obvious that this common census is not just wrong its actually retarded. In 15-20 years people will probably wonder how the hell 20th and early 21st century historians could be so stupid.

If you look at the 19th/20th century European travel accounts. Every port on the red sea had somali sailors and the main yemeni port from the 1700s even had a somali quarter.

In comparison most yemenis like the habesha live in the Highlands and when they came down to the coast they traded with somali merchants coming from all the different somali ports.

By the way I suspect most of you maybe even none of you are aware of the fact that like 99% of yemenis are actually farmers and that there are basically 0 bedouins/nomads in yemen. Thats why they had to import livestock from all across Somalia which was arriving at the port of berbera .since why would people who are all farmers keep a huge amount of livestock?

Its also why I found the south arabia/Yemen theory of camel domestication kind of dumb. Half of the world's camels are basically in somalia. It'd be like saying it wasn't nomad people living on the steppe who domesticated the horse it was actually eastern European farmers who don't own much livestock who did it.
