"Somalis also had a strange assumption of the universe and the cause of natural disasters along with that. They believed: The equillibrium of the Universe in Somali mythology was tied with the love between a Bull and a Cow. The Universe was said to balance itself on the horns of a bull, a beast forever staring at the cow tied to a pole in front of him. Whenever his love turned her eyes away from the Bull, it would result in a physical shift that caused natural disasters on Earth. Religious temples datingfrom antiquity known as Taalo were the centers where important ceremonies were held led by a Qallu Priest."

What a load of bull.

I'd like to know where that blogger got his information from. Still, it's interesting when you consider the Laas Gaal paintings which date to 9,000-3,000 BCE. They depict cows or bulls wearing ceremonial garments and it seemed as though humans revered them.

There must be an archeological treasure-trove under the sands of Somalia.

I think so as well. Imagine how much we could learn about Somali history if more excavations were made in Somalia.

Waaq Cow God

I think that cows and bulls were just seen as being sacred, not gods. But even if some worshipped them, that faith is different from the belief in Waaq. Waaq was considered to be One God and Somalis did not believe Waaq to be a cow or bull.
