How much archeological work has been done in Somalia?

For the past 30 years we've been at conflict some way or another. Then before that we were newly independent and we're focused on increasing literacy rates, solving drought, etc. Before that we were under colonial rule.

Everyday I see new threads about some new structure in Somalia, or documents and history. But how much archaeological work has been done? And if extensive work was done, how much do you think we'd find?

I think the reason we don't know much about Somali history from long ago is because there have been no extensive efforts to uncover it.

You would think they would find swords and armour from these types of sites.

Our blood and lineage is enough to prove we are purest most ancient Semites, Children of Canaan who was son of Cush who was son of Shem who was son of Nuh. We also inhabit the centre of the earth or regions where Shem and his descendants where told to settle by Allah.

There used to be a showcase of Adal Sultanate era armour & swordsman on horseback in the Mogadishu Museum. Somali civilization went fell into it's own dark ages from the 1600 - colonization after Adal & Ajuuran fell at the same time.

This is why al shabaab needs to lose, like any extremist group they would destroy any history they find.
