Having learned that the Washington cult held Aegyptus of Ethiopia dear, it is conspicuous that the horn of Africa, smack beside Ethiopia, is Somalia, what evokes Semele, mother of Dionysus. There is this reason to believe, therefore, that the Freemasonic love of Phoenicia, known to be rooted in Poseidon by Egypt-way, is from the ancient people after whom Somalia has been named.
The webpage below says that Somalia was named by Italy, at the turn of the 20th century, after a Samaali tribe. Somalia is often made a part of ancient Punt, especially the Puntland formed recently by a modern faction of Somalis who believed that it was ancient Punt. A Somali-Semele equation is perfectly consistent with Semele's mythical depiction as a Phoenician people (i.e. as daughter of Cadmus), for we find that Punt is typically tied to Phoenicians. Myth had Cadmus' father, Phoenix, coming from Poseidon-based Africa when forming Phoenicia, which is the revelation of the Greek myth writers to us that Phoenicia did not found Punt, but rather that Punt.

It is now conspicuous that the Somali patriarch, Samaal/Samaale, evokes the Samo portion of Samo-Thrace, the island from which Dardanus emerged when founding Tros of the Trojans. I was astonished to find that a major tribe of Somali is called "Daarood." This tribe claims to descend from the bloodline of Mohammed, and while such a claim could be regarded as wishful, I have been wondering if Mohammed wasn't himself of the dragon cult. Imagine such a thing as Mohammed having the same root as the Thraco-Trojans.
