"1286

Berbera is mentioned for the first time by Ibn Sa’id and other Arab geographers and travellers.

Good ol’ Ali Baba was on his wooden cargo ship when he noticed a small squalid encampment on the eastern tip of Africa, and when he pulled into port he discovered girls who were pretty and willing and mirqaan aplenty for his crew, thus he decided to name the place "Berbera" because the girls were wild like barbarians in bed and the khat made his crew red eyed and savage.

And this is supposed to be one of your important opinions?
fuck off lost one

Berbera preserves the ancient name of the coast along the southern shore of the Gulf of Aden. It is thought to be the city Malao described as 800 stadia beyond the city of the Avalites, described in the eighth chapter of the Periplus of the Erythraean Sea, which was written by a Greek merchant in the first century CE. In the Periplus it is described as

an open roadstead, sheltered by a spit running out from the east. Here the natives are more peaceable. There are imported into this place the things already mentioned, and many tunics, cloaks from Arsinoe, dressed and dyed; drinking-cups, sheets of soft copper in small quantity, iron, and gold and silver coin, not much. There are exported from these places myrrh, a little frankincense, (that known as far-side), the harder cinnamon, duaca, Indian copal and macir, which are imported into Arabia; and slaves, but rarely.

Berbera is mentioned by the Islamic traveller Ibn Sa'id in the thirteenth century. Duan Chengshi, a Chinese Tang Dynasty scholar, described in his written work of 863 CE the slave trade, ivory trade, and ambergris trade of Bobali, which is also thought to be Berbera (see Maritime section of Tang Dynasty for more).

Abu, “Beber” means savage/barbarian and Berbera translates into “land of the barbarians”. No need to get hostile, I was merely giving my theory on how the place got the name. Also LOL @ your “history” that amounts to nothing more than drawings by cavemen kindergarteners.

Goljano, your lack of sophistication is forgivable seeing as you’re nothing more than a taxi driver who makes a living ferrying San Fran trannies around town. iska bashal sxb.

I must note the irony of me supposedly “holding onto the past” when this whole thread is about iddors reminiscing about some copy/paste historical fiction from wikipedia. Furthermore, I must inform you that I have no attachment to the revolutionary government of yesteryear, and while I admire its past achievements I do not linger in nostalgia. I merely have a problem with the present day political ambitions of your region and more specifically your tribe and I am free to undermine you however I wish, understand? Good.

Abu, you copy and pasted from Wikipedia. I could go into depth and explain to you how it isn’t a reliable source, but I’m afraid you’ve received too many fist blows to the head to understand. So tell me again, what was your most recent school yard fight about? Did you say someone said you sounded like a habashi?

Abu, you copied and pasted verbatim from Wikipedia, as evidenced by your quote above. Also I can swear on my grandmother’s grave you’ve never read any of the books you’ve listed, and I’d be surprised if you read at all to put it candidly.
