Yesterday, I attended a lecture by Mr. Said Shidaad a student of Somali History! I was taken by his research how he debunk many popular theories among Somali's. Exactly, where did we came from? It's bothersome topic in the minds of many Somali's include myself. His approach was quite pleasant, he called the hidden history from Somali's and their ancestral claims.
We are all expose the fables or the folklores of the Somali Origin, but hidden from are the weight Somali's carried during the enlightenment era of the fertile crescent and Egyptian contact with Punt. We are after people of many faith, story tellers would say, pointing to common synthesis of don't let other write your history is at pleasant as it gets.
Some our social construct need to be revision in every aspect which my be deploring to our own history. Here some actors that dictated the Somali Origin, I'm Lewis, Bernard Richards, and etc.
One, Somali's are their own race and not part the Negroid Race
two, yes, Arabs come to us, intermarriage occurred but the margins are small, therefore, we are not Arabs called it Cousins of Arabs
three, There is five stage of Soomaal
I will post the rest of the notes...add your comments and take of the Somali Origin?
Enjoy as always...keep the heritage alive
