Kids were making a football posts from those artefacts smh. lol

So i was speaking to local people there and a saho elder man who looked pious and knowldgable told me the history and i must say it blew my mind and did a lot of research about it and he might be right but you be the judge.

He told me qohoito was the ancient capital of Punt and very close from there "matara" was the ancient capital of the belew kelew people, qohoito was active till the belew waves crossed the red sea and settled there. while matara boomed qohoito started to decline and many people moved/migrated south.

He told me 5000 years ago Afar/beja were one group that entered the horn of Africa and settled along the red sea, they originally came from the desert of the middle east, up on entering the horn after a thousand years or so they split to a north and a south group, Medjay (Beja) in the north and Punt (afar) in the south. from the afars over a period of hundred if not thousands of years clans broke up from the afars and moved southward from in and around qohoito and he told me they were what is known today as Somali while who ever remained are known today as saho.

Punt was thriving with trade until the belew kelew arrived 3000 years ago in many waves. he told me the belew kelew also came from Iraq via yemen, they split from the same group the beja/afar/somali/saho early in Iraq when they invaded babylon and stayed there for 575 years. at first i thought this guy was on khat tbh but when he explained it further it started to make a bit more sense.

He told me at first it was one group nomadic in nature and were known in ancient world in the northern Arabian and the arabian/gulf coast region as being "behind" and were roaming around till a fringe group of them invaded Babylon (defeating the hittites) and were known as the "kassites" and ruled babylon for almost 600 years, the rest of the group moved into the horn occupying the whole red sea coast.

He said the Kassites adopted the northern semitic language and assimilated in babylon and when they were defeated by the elamites 3200 years ago the moved westwards then southwards to today yemen and settled in the north of Yemen and had their kingdom there, few hundred years after that a major "migration" of the belew entered the horn. they were known as being superior in warfare but did not fight the local population instead protected them from the sabean (southern yemeni semitic) invasion as noted in their records.

when the belew kelew migrated to today Eritrea the local population noted as saying "there is always waves coming from across the sea, but this new wave are different, they look like all the previous waves but their tongue is funny/weird" referring to their Semitic tongue.

So my observation from this is:

1) Somali split from Afar and lived In eritrea before moving south and pushing the bantu southward into kenya?

2) Geez was never native to southern semitic language (like harari) so it make sense the kassites or Xasa/belew people (Todays eritrean tigre) brought the language to the horn after adopting it almost 4000 years ago??

3) Kassites were known as Ta xasa by ancient Egyptians and Semitic people, Tigre people today are also known as ta xasa and the tigrina people of eritrea are known by Kab-assa, kab=from and assa=xasa=waves.

4) Saho tribe in Eritrea have 2 lineage one is original (afar) and the other is "belew" who adopted the saho language, belew crushing the party.

so in conclusion after 1000 years of separation we came and moved in uninvited in the horn with a new tongue.

Very somali of us

what do you think?????

Other unknown Cushite tribe trying to leech off the Somali history. First it was Oromo who claimed that Somalis
Were part of them. Now the saho. Small reminder Somalia is the only Cushite country in the world. We made from just being just Cushite tribe to country.

I think its the other way around, somali were the clones of saho who were the clones of afars.

Habeshas and their Oromo minions are parasites that need to be destroyed. They are the main enemies of Somali people, not Afar and Saho!
