Ancient Somali History - Artefacts and Statues

Two statues sold off at a London auction in 2018

More statues

Seen these and many more. Some are still in the country and some are sold off by folks just trying to make a buck. This happens everywhere, to be honest. Even now in Egypt people loot sites and sell stuff off. Hopefully if and when we bounce back and have the finances we can buy a lot of it back and some of it is in fact being preserved as we speak by well-meaning locals.

I think Awdal maybe the Somali region with the richest history, with Sanaag & Somali Galbeed coming close as second and third.

Great find, btw.
