According to Herodotus' narrative, following his conquest of Egypt in 525 BC, Persian Emperor Cambyses II dispatched envoys to Macrobia. These emissaries bore opulent gifts intended to allure the Macrobian king into submission. However, the ruler of Macrobia, chosen in part for his stature, responded with a bold challenge. He presented an unstrung bow to his Persian counterpart, declaring that if the Persians could successfully string it, they would earn the right to invade his realm.
Legend also recounts the opulence of Macrobia, where gold was said to be so plentiful that even prisoners were adorned with golden chains. Additionally, it was rumored that the inhabitants of this kingdom enjoyed an extraordinary lifespan, reaching an average of 120 years.
Considering the sophistication of these people, one can only speculate about the extent of their territory and the architectural marvels they might have left behind.

If they were this advanced who knows how far their land spanned
 
Once archaeologists come to somalia we might get to learn more about them. Herodotus tended to exaggerate he's journeys but I believe there's some truth to the story he wrote about

Macrobia was probably in Sudan tbh
Thick bows are only found among the Madhibaan tribes specifically, who are said to have been the aboriginal Somalis, with the oral history carried by themselves and the British even admitting it, why do you think they have retained all the civilization and culture

Also camel herding is synonymous with Somalis, he stated they had a meat and milk diet, this is reflective of none other than the Somali way of life

Large bows are found with the Somalis and meat and milk lifestyle so it's true
