Potential historical excavations in Somaliland

Brothers and sisters, what do you think of these locations, they seem to be hinting of a past civilization, maybe a few milennia ago. When Sir Flinders Petrie was excavating AE 100 years ago, much of the sites were covered from top to bottom, the sphinx too, so wind erosion could be the cause for these unnatural looking molds by this mountain around 19 KM east of Berbera:

The 'site' is surrounded by a vast uninhabited desert, not a single settlement (caql) can be seen

Here is that desert with the 'site' encircled in blue:

Something else has also caught my eye, this site a little further to the east of the site above, it looks unusual to see this patch of land, with trees and 'lines' on it, and in it's surrounding is also another huge desert:

Here is the desert that surrounds this other site (these dunes look f***ing huge)

Finally both of these site's distances from Berbera, you can see the scarcity and barreness of this uninhabited area in SL, insha'Allah it is my go-to place when I touch down in the motherland.

If I ever reach these locations I must bring along some 'snake-proof boots' because the abeeso inhabits the arid lands :sadcam:

When Dr Sada Mire said in her TED talk that she found greco-roman pottery in the 'Aw Barkhadle' area, it also made me wonder if there are remnants of old settlements from that era, Allahu aclam but the potential is there, and site 1 looks like a real good find.

Zubeir,

I'm going SL next year my nigga. I'm going to the blessed Guban where my 10th great grandfather is buried. That place has the greatest concentration of historical artifacts and cave painting followed by areas in Maroodi Jeex. Togdheer and Sanaag.

I invite you and Hodan to come with me. I got an old school Nissan Navara 4x4 xaajiyad. The sands of Guban is hiding a treasure and we have to find that treasure.

Just look at that. :wow:

Looks rather ancient, strange, at how they are aligned.
