PROOF: SOMALIA HAS ANCIENT HISTORY

I came across this "cave man" mansion just outside of Bosaso (North Eastern Somalia, if you don't know where it is) I am not 100% sure but I think the Koran says "there used to be (large/strong) people who made homes out of mountains).

If you look @ the left you can see the door which is so heavy that you need more than one forklift to move it. Out of the view is something that looks like a window or maybe escape route in case of flooding, etc.

Strange homes like this are all over the region.

with the extra hole on the side....

you are talking about people of Thamud.


o the Thamud people (We sent) Salih, one of their own brethren: He said: "O my people! worship Allah: ye have no other god but Him. Now hath come unto you a clear (Sign) from your Lord! This she-camel of Allah is a Sign unto you: So leave her to graze in Allah's earth, and let her come to no harm, or ye shall be seized with a grievous punishment.
"And remember how He made you inheritors after the 'Ad people and gave you habitations in the land: ye build for yourselves palaces and castles in (open) plains, and carve out homes in the mountains; so bring to remembrance the benefits (ye have received) from Allah, and refrain from evil and mischief on the earth."
—Qur'an, Sura 7 (Al-A'raf), ayat 73-74[5]


Then they ham-strung the she-camel, and insolently defied the order of their Lord, saying: "O Salih! bring about thy threats, if thou art a messenger (of Allah)!"
So the earthquake took them unawares, and they lay prostrate in their homes in the morning!
—Qur'an, Sura 7 (Al-A'raf), ayat 77-78[6]

There is no question that SOMALIA has an ancient history just like all land connected to earth are ancient but what was it called in those ancient times? When did the people known as Somalis today appear in Somalia?

Kurki, thnx bro for the Koranic/history lesson.

MASHALLAH!!! WHEN DID YOU DISCOVER THIS?
IT'S A SHAME ARCHAEOLOGISTS CAN'T VISIT SOMALIA, LET ALONE PUNTLAND!!! THERE'S SO MUCH ANCIENT HISTORY TO DISCOVER! MAYBE SADA MIRE CAN COME AND STUDY "MANSION"?
PUNTLAND

There is much to be discovered in Somalia. I can't wait to tour the nation and visit every single province.

lol - u r right - i meant kadare, u guys have the same (k) lol

tight i m thinking of renovating it to suit my needs. It is overlooking one of the most beautiful places on earth - natural spring/water fall that never stops all year long. I am gonna post some images soon.

awahab, i agree 100%

Warya,

I wonder what secrets remain buried under the ground. So much to see,and discover.

Is it true that there are certain places in Somalia that are out bounds? Places that outside parties (none Somalis/the west/Egypt and Israel) have a great deal of interest as far as trying to unearth whats buried underneath. Especially in the north of Somalia.

I heard archaeologists and treasure hunters used to frequent this region in the 40s, 50s, etc. Then we became sovereign which may have affected their visits. Now, it is too dangerous.

why would you create a Maakhir section and not a Jubaland section ?
