Deviating from this topic a little, do you think that with archaeological research we can discover an ancient kingdom in the north with Aksum at that time? Because there is a poem that says that the Berbers and Axumites invaded Yemen

أبعد أبي في حصن كندة سيداً
يسود جموعاً من جيوش وبربرا
ويغزو بأعراب اليمانين كلهم
له أمرهم حتى يحل المشقرّا

There probably was at least a large confederation of city states. So many decent sized trading cities in the Somali coast particularly the North as well as foriegners mentioning a kingdom in the region such as the Chinese texts in the 900s talking about the Samalan kingdom with its capital of Zelia which we still don't know about and only learned about after a Somali guy went through Chinese archives and translated them recently.

The more research done the more that will come to light.

Are you talking about King Kaleb of Axum invading Yemen in the 520AD? Berbers/North Somalis would've been used as mercenaries so that's why the poem may have mentioned us.
