I'm done with listening to African history from white people. They have claimed authority over all history.
This is wrong history about Somalia.
As a Somali–Harari person from Harar (Eastern Ethiopia), not only are Somalis ancient, but the region we inhabit (the Horn of Africa) is one of the oldest and most important peninsulas to study how early humans lived on the continent. It has been occupied by early people for more than 3.3 million years, as seen in places like the Awash Valley in Eastern and Central Ethiopia, and the Juba, Shebelle, and Nogal valleys in Southern and Northeastern Somalia, as well as the Gobaad Plain in Northwest Somalia and Northern Djibouti. Not to mention the Great Rift Valley in Northern Kenya, through which Lake Turkana runs in the west.
We have been known as Puntites, the land of Punt, in the Bible as Phut/Put, who are brothers of Cush and Mizraim (Sudan/Ethiopia and Egypt). We are not Cush, as Cush was applied later when Europeans arrived on the peninsula, confusing the similarity we share with Ethiopian ethnic groups like the Afars, Oromo, and other Cushite groups in Sudan and Egypt, as well as Eritrea like the Beja and Bilen. We have never been known as Cushitic, nor is our language Cushitic. This was a fabrication by the British who believed Somalis are related to Ethiopian Cush people, as well as those in Egypt and Sudan. What we only share is culture, as we have been used to being ruled by one civilization at different times, such as the Harla civilization which ruled Eastern Ethiopia (Somali, Afar regions), Djibouti, and Northern Somalia long before Muslims immigrated to Abyssinia (the Hesbha Kingdom)."
There is evidence of the Harla civilization dating back to the 3rd century AD, which describes its inhabitants as being from different places ruled by one king and queen in the east of this civilization. The Harlas are believed to have been a mixture of Afro-Middle Eastern civilizations, centered in what is known as Hubat, the capital near Harar in Eastern and Central Ethiopia. They thrived alongside the Aksumite Empire in the east and the people were very different from each other. This is mos belived to have beeing the anceetors of harari people, zay, zilte in ethnics as well as somalis due the somalis are dived into harla(ancesotrs) and harla muse.
"Ethiopia and Sudan are the ones mentioned in the Bible as the land of Cush, not Somalia or Djibouti. They weren't known as Cush; even the Greeks and Romans referred to the continent as Aeithiopia, including Sudan as part of Aeithiopian Kush, while Somalia, including northern Kenya, was referred to as Macro or Macrobian. The name 'Aeithiopia' was also applied to the Cushites of ancient Nubia (Sudan today), which the ancient Greeks called the Kush Kingdom of ancient Nubians as Aeithiopian, referring to their common ancestors with Ethiopia. This indicates that they were the same people but lived in different regions, much like Arabs today."
In antiquity, we have been known by many names:
Pwenet, Pwene in ancient Kemet as P-w-n-t.
Punt, the land of Punt, the Puntites people.
Bia-Punt.
Gnbtw (Gunbitow).
Brbrta, the ancient name of the Puntites, was referred to as Punt by the ancient Egyptians. Later, the Greek Mycenaean civilization used Brbrta as Po-Pari, and in ancient Chinese as Pi-Palo, derived from the ancient Egyptian name of the Puntites, Brbrbti/Brbrta people. This ancient Brbrta name was used during the late 3rd millennium BCE to refer to the Puntites' counterparts arriving in ancient Egypt. During medieval times, the Chinese called Somalia the country of Pipalo. The earliest attested form of the word is the Mycenaean Greek 𐀞𐀞𐀫, pa-pa-ro, written in Linear B syllabic script.
Qan'ble (an ancient name of northern Somalia from ancient India, which the modern city of Qandale in northeast Somalia used).
Ta netjer, Ta netjeru, ancient Egyptian names for the Punt civilization.
Macrobian civilization (an ancient name for Greater Somalia), 'macro' meaning the one who was tall.
Babrbario civilization (an ancient Greek Mycenaean name to refer to Somalia, which originated from ancient Egyptian Brbrti of the Puntites during the late 2nd millennium BCE).
Harla, Haralla people (it is believed to have derived from either Proto-Somalis, like 'har' meaning shadow. It also means, for example, 'naga har,' meaning 'don't follow us' or 'go away,' which indicates how far Harla's capital Hubaat was located according to ancient Arabia, which referred to the area near Hubaat, modern-day Harar, as Hase'tite meaning far-side. 'Har' meaning shadow explains the fact that Harla had more than 1 million people at that time, referring to how many different people and ethnics lived in the Harla region, which Muslims from Abyssinia settled, forming the first Islamic kingdom and dynasty like Shewa, Adal, and Ift within Harla in early Islamic rise on the African continent, building one of the oldest mosques in Africa in Zeila, northern Somalia, called Masjid-Qiblateyn, which was Adal state within Harla called.
Goban" is a medieval period name used to refer to the semi-arid region of Somalia, meaning "burn area" or "burnt land." "Guban" means "burnt area" or "hot and dry," referring to the Haud Valley in Eastern Ethiopia, the Nugaal Valley in Northeastern Somalia, and all the way to the Tog Plateau in Northwest and Eastern Somalia. The name was even used during the British colony in Northern Somalia to refer to the region in Ethiopia and Somalia as the land of Guban, from which the derived state emerged and ruled until 1920. It's the only region that hadn't been occupied by any European power during the scramble for Africa and remained independent until 1920. It had a Sultanate and a strong army that defeated Abyssinian Christians, the Italian Kingdom, and the British Empire of East Africa and India." i
its ruled began in late 17 century after the kehdivate ruled of egty ended in 1880 which used to rule northen somalia for 20 years under ali dynasty of kedhviate empir cented in sudan and egtyp. the region todsy is dived into eaathetn ethiopian and northeastrtn somalia but beofere 19th cenuty it was one of the indeecent region along with egtyp. the region has been emerged by the famous mud mallah who led the first african resistact againt ueropena colony in the contine t and the first british great conflice wiht the african people.
The region hosts one of the great UNESCO World Heritage sites due to its significant historical importance. It was the first African nation to be bombed by an Air Power by the British. This was a result of the strength of the dervish state and its formidable army led by Mohammed Abdullahi Hassan, known by the British as "Mad Mullah," who ruled the region as early as the late 18th century, ultimately ending the Khedivate Empire.
its also the first state where resistance against colonialism began on the continent, with significant wars occurring. The state successfully defended itself against the British army, allied with the Christian Ethiopian Empire, in efforts to maintain its religion and prevent the spread of Christianity by Ethiopians in the region. the states expansion began in 1901, where it successfully resisted Italy in northeast Somalia and northwest British Somaliland, as well as the west by the Ethiopian Menelik Empire. It stood as one of the strongest states on the continent at the time, evident in the great fortress ruins of castles and mausoleums still standing in northern Somalia and the eastern Somali region of Ethiopia. These sites are significant not only for Somali people but for all African peoples, as they signify the refusal to accept European colonization. The colonization of Africa occurred primarily due to the technological advantage of Europeans and Portuguese, as Africa lacked advanced weaponry, facilitating the easy expansion of French and British powers on the continent. Each year, more than 450,000 people visit the region.

My name is Sharmaarke Mohamed Ali from Somaliland . I have to tell you that you african brothers do not be surprised by the fact that Somalis identify themselves as Arabs because Somalis are made up of different tribes that share the same language, culture, religion and environment. Some Somali tribes have been around for a long time and they are the ancient Somalis, and some tribes have become Somalis in different periods. Some are left over from the Portuguese invasion in the 15th century. Some tribes are of Israeli descent, while others are of Indian origin. As you know, in the past, the Somali region has been known by different names to the West and the Arabs, such as during the time of Prophet Moses, it was part of the land called Egypt. The pharaoh himself was a Somali because besides the image of the pharaohs and many traditions that are similar to the Somalis, there is the fact that the pharaoh's name is in the Somali language and that is what the pharaoh actually was. There are also ethnic groups living next to Somalis that have been heavily influenced by Somalis and later became Somalis.Ancient Somalis , most of them were traveled towards the south and west direction and arabs took the place of those scattered ancient somalis. Finally, do not be surprised that the majority of Somalis are of Arab origin.Majory of Somalis belong a line of of descent traced continuously from an ancestor and they protect and preserve family origins and history. On the other hand, there is no single country whose entire population descended from the origin of a single father, if i'm not sure its not more than one or two countries.
Thank you for your history lessons.
yaaa saa u socoteen dadkaa dayeer ahaa gaalo nooga dhigteye history warkiina qofkaa ka dhadhicisaan raadsha wasaq tariiqdeena waa dhunteye se dhulka aan baari doonah anaganah keensaneeno fillmka beenta joojiya
Great video just dont say there were "Homosapians" there. There were Somalis not Tarzan.
I like what you are doing but there was a lot of false information
Somalia had a history??
Somali benefit from war all pictures Somali culture 😢
No Egypt ancient Egyptian because all pictures Egypt use all cultures Somali
Somalia sea is 3339 km long first tell the truth about Somali sea they own, thx
Use of background photos is very unreliable, showing unrelated cultures
Why are so many Somalis claiming Arab ancestry? Is it due to a lack of education or simply sel-hatred?
The Queen of sheba/ queen Makeda is Ethiopian. When the sabean people mixed with the northern cushitic people, the Ethiopian race was born around 1500BC.
