No one of that was interesting only the 16 corpses and those got destroyed smh there’s even grave robbers in somaliland destroying historical stuff and selling them they’ve been doing this since the 1980s it angers me so much, why is no one stopping this and trying to preserve our history?

It would be interesting to find out if those skulls were homo sapien and if we inherited some of their dna. They have been dated to about the last ice age I believe.

IIRC, there was a Spanish team of archeologist that was doing work in the north. There was also a map showing how many ruins were found

Anyways I am 100% certain there was a map showing all the excavation/archeological sites found in Somalia, one that had blue dots across the map. Maybe @awsaleban667 knows what I'm talking about and has it

Team of ****bags on Habshi payroll. They attribute literally everything they find to non-Somalis, and have been making all sorts of ahistorical claims about Zeila in the months and weeks leading up to the MoU. I have no doubt in my mind after reading their articles.

One particularly weird example was the mention of Queen Kola and the possible (not really, not at flipping all possible) Oromo origins of Abasa in Awdal. Nothing about the Somali style architecture or that it lay in verifiably historically Somali territory, just this oral tale. No nuance, what's that?

OP, f*ck foreign archaeologists, if I had it in me I'd ban all foreign historians and archaeologists (bar aDNA ones) from setting foot in Somali lands. They've only ever tried to discredit us by causing confusion and furthering their agendas. We need our own.

They can come to puntland or Somaliland but for the south sadly they can’t go there cause the instability.

That’s not necessarily true even the pre civil war most of there research was up north maybe due to more evident ruins there plus the Adal empires remnants being there
