How did Somalis look like 100 years ago (Northern Somalis)

[Sophisticate]

They were muscular. What happened, why did we become so skinny?

0 heavy lifting and a lot of chewing has decayed them.

 

[Bohol]

I'm pretty sure this is what most Somalis wore back than. @Duke of Bohol do you have any old pictures of mjs?

The stuff on their hair is butter. Its used to define curls/prevent frizz. Its the same stuff afar men use today. We've just lost our culture. arabisation walle.

It's not Arabisation, that came later with wahabis. Its letting the beauty secrets of the old die off that is the problem.

Abaar and lack of nafaqo in Somalia. Lack of caano geel in the west.

The reer miyi are still well built, it's reer magaals that have no nafaqao.

Tbh, yeah you are right. Ive changed my mind about some aspects of religion. Religion can beneficial to the development of a country. Even though I'm atheist , i'd prefer a sufi somali state. But i'd put somalinimo over islaminimo .

They live in both however Gabooye (a group of Madhibaan) are more prominent in the north while the south has a lot of Tumaals.

I swear the clothing back then looked sexy af. Very alpha culture. We have the dhaqan of s now. . Whats with the feather situated on the guys head on the far left.

Somalis should no longer claim the Horn. You are clearly non cushtic in origin.

Ethiopians shouldn't even be in the Horn, don't yall believe you mass migrated from Yemen or something. You are clearly non cushtic in origin

 

[Von]

That has been debunked with evidence. Both Ge'ez and Proto-geez originated in Ethiopia, along with monumental south arabican writing.
Both also predate all Semitic languages in the ME (not including Assyria).

The only reason why Europeans originally pushed this narrative was because they thought we were too advanced to be African...which says more about the rest of the continent.

its a joke.... don't you see the similarities in what you said earlier and what I said. Nobody is trying to hear the history of a nation you are not apart in. Your Somali, you got no claim to Ethiopian history ( it's the equivalent to the Germans in the Roman empire ) but let's not derail this thread, please

Bariis + baasto

These niggas were primarily on a high protein diet of hilib and caano

 

[Hoosjeed]

Big ups to our people!

Great find @Duke of Bohol

 

[Nightline Kid]

Northern Somalis is not only Dir, Isaaq and Madhibaan. We are forgetting Dhulos and Warsans. G. Revoil took some old pictures of those communities.
