Somali mythology

[Mehdi Hassan]

The fact that they survived such a harsh climate shows that they were knowledgeable. Ever heard of take the good and leave the bad behind

There's a reason nobody studies us and it's not only cuz we didn't write things down.

 

[AishaBarri]

Not really. Survival skills are essential in such a harsh climate but pretty basic knowledge. Nothing like the Ancient Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, or Arabs.

You’re clearly a self hater

 

[Odkac WRLD]

Thats a stretch. The greeks invented adonis gay

@Basra you kill me.

I don't understand what you mean here? Humans (and life) exists in every type of climate in the world from lush rain forests, to sandy deserts, to low oxygen mountains, to dry arctic tundra, etc. That doesn't make them knowledgeable.

Ever heard of take the good and leave the bad behind

They did just that. That mythology and all that other bullshit wasn't valuable to them. They voluntarily abandoned it.

I'm really not it's just the truth. They lived a simple nomadic lifestyle similar to the Arab Bedouins and like many other peoples recorded history orally. They weren't special by any means.
I'm just being honest.

You see @AishaBarri even they themselves didn't think of it as anything valuable, so how am I a self-hater??

So you don’t think that’s knowledge? You have to adapt or die and with that involves years and generations of learning. For example the Khoisan people think anyone else would be able to survive that well in the desert? Don’t be so arrogant to think people in the past were not smart.

No, they weren't a knowledgeable civilized people, they were nomadic desert barbarians. There's a reason why Somalis use reer badiyo as an insult (the irony is the reer magalo are still stupid).

You accuse me of self-hate and now him arrogance. We both acknowledge it is knowledge, but there are varying degrees of complexity among knowledge in general. Many people have survived and to this day survive in the desert. Nobody insulted the intelligence of people in those days. Survival skills aren't highly complex, but rather simple skills. Just as @Jimmer said, there's a reason why we of modern civilization (much more advanced and highly knowledgeable) look down on these people as ignorant illiterate backwards barbarians.

@AishaBarri you can qashin all you like, but the truth remains. Can you provide me with any advanced knowledge these people have independently come up with?

Its true. Europeans stopped the incursion of bantus towards the khoisan in south africa.

In Djbouti and Kenya the Europeans stopped the expansion of Somalis.

You say you must adapt or die but if it took years and generations of learning as you say, how did the people before all that learning took place survive? And to flip the question around wouldn't they have to survive all that time to learn? What about what he said was arrogant exactly? And what about what I said reeks of self-hate?? I don't see anything. To me it just seems like you're overly emotional about this and are in denial, can you tell us one reason why we should agree with you? You've yet to say anything of substance, all you do is cry.

Unless you're of foreign origin like the benadiri you did.

Who's the self-hater now?

 

[AishaBarri]

Isn’t that what this whole thread is about In case you forgot what the main point was go and re-read and you’ll know why I can’t provide that type of information.

 

[Mehdi Hassan]

Did he say they were barbarians? No, all he said was that reer magaal (who he said were stupid themselves) thought they were. Reading comprehension please.

 

[Mehdi Hassan]

But then how do you know they had the advanced knowledge you claim? This thread was about mythology, useless fairy tales lost ignorant people make to explain the world around them.

It seems like you don't like Europeans, do you? The irony is they created the civilization you live in most likely. This is also factually correct and well-known dude. Just because you dislike them doesn't mean they didn't.
