Is it Hashimi admixture?

samirir wrote: Mon May 25, 2020 6:12 am No,it’s an ancient admixture it probably won’t be detected in a DNA test since it’s long time ago. Some Somalis have different maternal Haplogroups but most of us have a Horn African paternal haplogroup.

Hobley, (1922) a colonial District Commissioner attributed the similarity of the Akamba word for spirits with the Assyrian one as pure chance. He (Hobley, 1922, p.27) found that “Curiously enough, the disembodied spirit was called Edimmu by the ancient Assyrian according to R.C Thompson in “Semitic Magic”. Hobley observed that the Assyrian word Edimmu (whose root is immu) is the same as the Kamba for the same concept. [/b]He stated that despite that similarity, there was hardly any evidence to show that the identity was “anything but accidental.” Hobley also noticed similarities of certain Kikuyu and Kamba customs to Egypt and Semitism. He dismissed them as due to ‘parallel development’ because, only the “Ba-Hima or Ba-Huma” (of Rwanda Urundi) are believed by one sir Harry Johnston to be descendants of ancient Egyptian settlers…”

“…recent investigations in this part of Africa, particularly with regard to the native veins of iron and gold, tend in the opinion of some competent inquiries to show that East Central Africa, including the region of the great lakes, was an extremely ancient seat of a rudimentary civilisation, the seeds of which may have been carried whether by migration or contact of peoples, to remote parts of Europe and Asia.

Sheikh Isxaaq is virtually unknown in the West. Why are you passing the chance to be admired by the West for claiming kinship ties with famed & much admired Fircoon & Egyptian civilization? It could possibly bring business, tourism, prosperity, etc to your town & region.

We need to do a genetic mapping process in Somaliland and somali region of Ethiopia, I suspect that is were the actual Somali looking people tend to be from, I am sure we will discover w lot of foreign groups joined somali banner
