I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT SOMALIS NEVER EXISTED BEFORE ISLAM BUT I HIGHLY DOUBT THIS, IM SURE WE EXISTED AND MOST LIKELY FOLLOWED A TRADITIONAL ANIMIST BELIEF BEFORE ISLAM

There were mentions of a “land of punt” by the ancient egyptians

Most scholars today believe Punt was situated to the southeast of Egypt, most likely in the coastal region of modern Djibouti, Somalia, northeast Ethiopia, Eritrea, and the Red Sealittoral of Sudan.[10

We used to worship the fire, before Islam came

The Somali ethnicity is very old with the somali language and culture dating back more than 9000 years ago. I assume that there are newcomers like issaqs and daroods from arabia hence why people assume we are a new ethnicity.

I don't know, but my clan originated from whats now known as the SL region. Doesn't mean I am lander tho I assume Somalis originate from the somali peninsula as in all the area historically inhabited by us.
