who were the true somali berbers?!

Post by granpremiodespana »

The country of Berbera is in the sea to the southwest of us. They are unfamiliar with the Five Cereals there, but they are accustomed to puncture the veins of their domestic cattle and take their blood, which they blend with milk and drink raw. They have neither dress nor costume, using only some sheepskin below the waist to cover themselves. Their women are immaculately white, straight and upright..."

Who was he referring to? Chengsi is very respected by Chinese so I don't think.he would have made it up!

Chengshi's testimony is also supported by the oral traditions of many neighboring Bantu and Nilotic people. The latter often speak of tall, "red" people of Caucasoid appearance and foreign language and culture that built elaborate stone structures and had large herds of the so-called Egyptian/Hamitic longhorn cattle.

"For the culture or cultures which these remains represent the name Azanian has been suggested, and their origin ascribed to Hamitic peoples who came from the north. Tradition and the use of stone for building suggest a northern origin, and from the traditional evidence current in the first quarter of this century we gain a picture of these "Azanians" as tall, bearded, long-haired, and "red" in colour. Moreover, they are usually said to have come from the north and, in some traditions, to have had long-horned cattle. Taken as a whole, these accounts suggest a people of Hamitic rather than Negro affinities."

Somalis were known as Berbers.somali and berber(the people from Berbers) were interchangeable terms during the medieval period-see ibn batutas description.it is not be confused with the tribe in north Africa.secondly,some Berbers from north Africa are"kneegrows".
