The Horn and more specifically Northern Somalia has a rich and long history of trading and cultural/genetic interaction with these kingdoms and looking at the distance and amount of trade we had with them, I would expect and wouldnโt be surprised to find any texts or inscriptions of Himyarite/Sabaean origin or influences on our culture that had us writing in their script and/or language before the Pre-Islamic age. Kinda like how Axumites wrote in Greek because of Ptolemaic Egyptโs influence and trade with them before they got conquered by the Romans, so it would make sense to me if we found the same off our coasts as well. This claim that Somalis didnโt regularly write down our history could be debunked if we found it.
For example, if we use Socotra for example, found on this small island off our coast were 250 texts/inscriptions all together in Indian Brฤhmฤซ, South Arabian, Ethiopic, Greek, Palmyrene and Bactrian languages written between the first century BCE and the sixth century CE.
