xamar of 17 century.

Post by sahal80 »

Its the sunset time and the gates are about to get closed. You can access xamarwayne only through that gate. These people are nomads getting out of it and heading to the bush area.
In the south of xamar, things were abit different, most settlements were fishers and farmers so they they had more contacts with xamar and the southren shores. There were two friendly dynasties, one located at the ocean and the other at shabeele river and there were traders who carried out border road of bringing items between them.
This pic is from 1781
