Dhagax Nabi Galay - Rock art shows first written system in HOA

Post by GalliumerianSlayer »

""One of the sites associated with Laas Geel, Dhagah Nabi Galay is unique in that it features what is considered to be the first examples of writing in East Africa. There has been minimal research conducted on this site, but it offers a wonderful opportunity to study the Neolithic Horn of Africa anterior to the introduction of Islam."

Our history kulaha. That thing is thousands of years old. Older than Somali people and their ancestor's ancestors.

Somali people are old race. The Arab booty seeking Sheikhs got their booty lust sorted.

You Arab booty lickers can go away and those who hate on their Somali brothers. I don't have time for bullshit arguments, let's keep this topic toxic free.

Both the Berbers/Nigerians are using ancient texts and modifying them for the present time/
