A better image of the Weiland map from the early 17th century+ original adaptation link.

Post by Gubbet »

I noticed the use of this map, but with bad quality imagery from a simple screenshot I had made a while back,



I made an image with better quality with higher resolution for anyone using it hereafter;

Original adaptation of it still from the 1st half of the 18th century;

http://objects.library.uu.nl/reader/ind ... 874-372663

Note: The actual original cartographic knowledge is from the Geographische Institute of Germany from 1817 and has been featured as late as the 1840's which shows like the 20th century Galti migration going from Warder to Wajeer, the Marehan had been mass moving almost consecutively for at least 250-300 years from the Harar area. So even our presence in Galgaduud might have only been just a "transitional" stage from Harar to Jubbaland. That is to say even the Marehan on the central plateau (Mudug-Doollo-Shilaabo) were probably only there for the same amount of time the Galti have now been in Gedo at the time the Galti migration started in the 1910's. Conversely this reinforces my suspicion the Reer Guri may have never even been on the central plateau having last been with all of MX somewhere on the Shabelle crossing between Harar and Shilabo most likely at around today's "Fiiq"(Fik) area in Nogob. This is similar to the Marehan in Nageyle last being with all of Rer Guri on the Daua (Dollow-Luuq) and never having gotten to Diirharo (Garbahaarey-Bardere).

Really there is a comparability here to "Game of Thrones" even if only at a surface level. "Harar" would seem to equate to "Valyria," "central plateau" or specifically Caabudwaaq to "Dragonstone," "Westeros" to Somalia, the "7 Kingdoms" to Jubbaland, "King's landing" to Gedo," and the "Targaryen" to us "Marehan" who have been fleeing the destruction of "Valyria" or "Harar" for quite some time. It is also quite interesting that like the Targaryens who were the only group to get out of Valyria's destruction, only the Marehan escaped and rebuilt itself up to power away from Harar out of all the prominent communities mentioned in the Futuh Al Habesha.🤔

Regarding this point, the following are some examples of different features from that same source
