1) land of cinneman to the ancient greeks and the land of aromatics to the ancient romans
although Indian merchants brought large quantities of cinnamon to Somalia the somali merchants convinced the romans that cinnamon only grew in somalia , Ancient Greeks and Romans referred to the Somali peninsula as Regio Aromatica or Regio Cinnamonifora due to the aromatic plants.

2) the land of the unicorn to the ancient chinese/The Somali word for giraffe is still used in China , Japan and Korea.
The legendary image of the qilin became associated with the image of the giraffe in the Ming dynasty identification of the qilin with giraffes began after Zheng He's voyage to East Africa (landing, among other places, in modern-day Somalia). The Ming Dynasty bought giraffes from the Somali merchants along with zebras, incense, and various other exotic animals . When it arrived the giraffe caused general amazement. Checking their encyclopedias, Confucian scholars decided that it must be a unicorn, a mythological creature that traditionally was said to have “the body of a deer, the tail of an ox, and the hooves of a horse,” and to be of such a gentle disposition that “it only ate grass and never hurt a living being.” When they learned that the animal in the Somali language was known as girin, that settled the matter. To Chinese ears, girin sounded very much like qilin, the Chinese name of the unicorn. The appearance of a qilin was regarded as proof of the virtue of the reigning emperor. Presenting it as a gift was a way for the officials to ingratiate themselves with the emperor. the somali name for the animal is girin which is similar to the chinese qilin and even closer to the japanese word kirin (Mapping the Chinese and Islamic Worlds: Cross-Cultural Exchange in Pre-Modern Asia)

5) Madagascar got its name from Marco Polo, who mistakenly thought he landed in Mogadishu, Somalia, and then misspelled the name of the city.

I used to watch them a few years back and they were very much confused people. Especially, the Fisherman guy that used to say we're Arabs and the other guy that was obsessed with e1b1, saying things like we're related to Hitler.
I don't know they seem okay now, they have a discord server as well where many people would discuss somali history from time to time and to me it was great, sorry about your experience with themI used to watch them a few years back and they were very much confused people. Especially, the Fisherman guy that used to say we're Arabs and the other guy that was obsessed with e1b1, saying things like we're related to Hitler.
