We have come across this historical map of "Fiao" in the North of Ethiopia which we thought was oddly evocative of "Facaye/Facayo", the second son of Sade, brother of Marehan shrouded in mystery.
- I can now confirm that historical "Fiao" was indeed nomenclaturally "Facaye/Facayo"
- And that it is ON the greater "Merihan plains" south of the modern Arta Region in Djibouti and in the Afar Triangle of Ethiopia
- In the vicinity of the largest SALT reserves in the world today at Lake Assal.
- Salt is important to the history of Marehan in particular as was discussed in a topic about "Hodanbari" where Hodan /Prosperity was theorized to mean Salt.
- Here is "Facaye" as late as this colonial area British map of the area.
- Notice the Somali pronunciation "Fa-Caye" with the glottal stop is clearly represented by the apostrophe " which is very significant.
"Fa-ayo" IN the "Marehan" plains CONTAINING prominent settlement of "Horisammadaga" WITHIN the greater Harar area & the Awash Valley NEXT to Lake Assal the largest salt reserves in the world today.
