I’ve seen the genetics of the early Swahili Muslim and it seems that they have 60+ Cushitic dna while the rest is different (idk if it’s confirmed tho ) and the Morden swahili are different.Do somalis have history there? I thought the only coastal city we ruled and were like the founders in kenya was lamu.
But hey I'm ready to unuka leh if we got the slightest hints.

Talking about genetics, i stumbled around this sample while scrolling on twitterI’ve seen the genetics of the early Swahili Muslim and it seems that they have 60+ Cushitic dna while the rest is different (idk if it’s confirmed tho ) and the Morden swahili are different.
Also they was follower of the shaifi madhab while the omanis wasn’t which is weird because at that time I’m pretty sure only us and Yemen was the follower of the shaifi madhab.
So who founded it ?Mogadishu did dominate everything from Somalia to Mozambique as the most powerful city in East Africa before Kilwa broke that domination, but neither Somalis or Omanis founded Mombasa, it probably already existed as a small village or town and over the centuries grew into a hub for trade. The Omanis and Somalis did push out the Portuguese together from that city in the late 1600s
PersiansSo who founded it ?
Southern cushitics? They're the aboriginals of the regionSo who founded it ?
It's from a Swahili grave site (Songo Mnara) in southern coastal Tanzania dated 16th-17th centuryTalking about genetics, i stumbled around this sample while scrolling on twitter
View attachment 305228 idk where it's from tho, interesting stuff
No evidence for Persian to claim thatPersians
So Cushitic people was living in Tanzania during 14-16 centuries?It's from a Swahili grave site (Songo Mnara) in southern coastal Tanzania dated 16th-17th century
This Cushitic guy (I7944) was a clear outlier from the other Bantu+Persian/Indian hybrids found at the graveSo Cushitic people was living in Tanzania during 14-16 centuries?
The grave belong to an ethnic somali?It's from a Swahili grave site (Songo Mnara) in southern coastal Tanzania dated 16th-17th century
So logically we have more rights in Kenya and Tanzania then Morden citizens of Kenya and Tanzania?This Cushitic guy (I7944) was a clear outlier from the other Bantu+Persian/Indian hybrids found at the grave
Cushites have been living in Tanzania for 5000 years, they preceded Bantus.
Cushitic but probably southern Cushitic that died outThe grave belong to an ethnic somali?
Sorry of thought guys were talking about kilwa, if it is mombasa then it was first built by bantuNo evidence for Persian to claim that
No evidence for that as wellSorry of thought guys were talking about kilwa, if it is mombasa then it was first built by bantu
There is still a last south cushite tribe there called iraqw numbering 1 million.So Cushitic people was living in Tanzania during 14-16 centuries?

Azania is the name of southern cushites. Our lost people. Brothers of Nubia, Abyssinia, Oromia & Somalia.
I mean the Bantu that live there now are partially descended from them to varying degrees. But yeah Somalis are the closest to those Cushites.So logically we have more rights in Kenya and Tanzania then Morden citizens of Kenya and Tanzania?
