Can the coast of Yemen be seen with naked eye from north of Djibouti/Somalia ?

Interesting question but I think you can’t since the closest point between Djibouti and Yemen is around 13 miles and I don’t think humans can see that far the average human can see about 3 miles with their naked eye if Djibouti was on a higher elevation it would’ve been possible maybe but it’s flat desert land
Here’s a map Djibouti to Mayyun Island (Yemen)
I appreciate that fact about the visual length we can see with our eyes sxb, so accounting for that, the rock of Gibraltar which is 7 miles from Africa , also isn’t seen with the naked eye from Africa, makes me wonder how humans dared to migrate outwards without knowing what lies beyond the sea, if youre lucky Yemen or Gibraltar, If you weren’t a long boat trip to Australia or South america, and that’s if you didn’t die in the Ambiguous sail
humans got on a boat and lucked outs many died drowned or starved only a few where lucky

Not from the human eye and its fake. Also if you cant see from europe side of istanbul to asian side of istanbul on a cold foggy day what makes you think you can see morocco to spain let alone somalia/djibouti to yemen.
Depends on the elevation and weather conditions
early humans were constantly moving and exploring they didn’t have maps or nothing just migration after migration one example of this are native Americans/the first humans in North and South America when the Bering land bridge was connecting Siberia and Alaska 20-25k years ago humans crossed it once the sea levels rises and the bridge closed 10-15k years ago they were isolated from the rest of the world
Tbf Djibouti & Yemen are closer to each other than Spain & Morocco are

When I was on the beaches I'd see our Yemeni fishermen doing some good work in the far distance. Probably close to the Yemeni coast
You probably can from a height and clear weather
Yeah explains why native Americans have the indhoyar eyes

Native Americans were racially classed as mongoloid "Eastern Asia phenotype"
Max the human eye can see is like 4-5KM which is 2.5-3.1 miles.
They recently found Polynesian DNA in Amazonian tribes, usually 1-2% that is absent elsewhere.
allegedly Polynesians made it to Ecuador by canoe in the 1200s.
There's also aboriginal Australian DNA found in some South Americans. God knows how that got there
Thats a lie
