Not a single historical source or proof what's so ever lol. You don't even understand what your argument entails. Your source says "One route led down to the East African coast from Ethiopia to Somalia." Once again, there is no mention of any ancient Somali kingdom trading with the Romans. The source was literally describing the geographical area that the Romans traded with. Somalia didn't exist until 1960.

The video you presented literally says Far-Side ports were relatively uncivilized. There were no cities or indigenous kingdoms. The natives lived in self-governing tribal kingdoms lol. You literally debunked yourself. You still didn't show me any source that states that ancient Somalis traded with the Romans. You just provide numerous articles and videos that show no concrete proof
No one said it was kingdoms u fool, they were city states

Why is blud talking about kingdoms in the peninsular. I thought it was an agreed fact that ancient Somalia was a series of City states ruled by Proto somali tribes that engaged in trade with the indian ocean and red sea as they did in the medieval era and modern day.

So the macrobians ruled the city states and wuz trading with the romans and sheet. Very compelling evidence. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Arabs barley had cities themselves at that time. Literally were in the desert with some shacks around oasis where they shared goods then went back to the desert.
Macrobians aren't a thing. Proto Somali ruled the city states. Somalis became a proper ethnicity probably during the 500s my guess is.

Somalia was undeniably a wealthy trading center in antiquity. In fact, many Somali cities have been mentioned in the Periplus of the Erythraean Sea. Let's not forget the fact that the Land of Punt is agreed upon by most historians to be ProtoSomali.

We need some more archeological work done. We know the existence of several cities during antiquity. We just need to actually do some digging for once.

This isn't even taking into account Somali medieval sultanates.
With the medieval sultanates it's even easier. We have many written records of them including manuscripts currently rotting away. And oral history widely spread among dozens of somali clans across the peninsular about events such as the fall of Ajuuran. If these texts and oral recitations can be collected into a series of books it would be a great achievement for the Somali

Hey guys don't bother arguing with that deranged woman. Years of eating raw meat made her brain rot because of all the maggots she ingested.
What she is suffering from is called the "Xabash syndrome".
