True but Somalia has not established anything to the world we are only known to the world as pirates, warlord, refugees and the occasion famine. Nothing to be proud of.

The truth
The lies that only idiots with no brains listen to:

 

[AbdiS]

Abyssinian relevance in Ancient and Biblical history is greatly overstated, if one must note. Their whole Abyssinian 'empire' could not conquer a single acre of Somali land until recent history where the majority of the inhabitants of Galbeed were going under a huge population change. Due it just being an entity that accepted Orthodox Christianity prior to many nations and empires, it has received significant backing from the west. For instance, during the Adal/Abyssinian war, and during the Ogaden war, they were provided significant backing by two major superpowers (Portuguese & Russians), to an extent never seen before. One can argue that Somalis as well received support during those said wars, but it was never to the extent of the backing the Abyssinians received (ie. Soldiers and mercenaries, the providing of many weaponry and tanks to combat the SNA, etc).

Although Somalis never had an 'empire' that was popularized and notable to the public eye, one must note that Somalis constituted strong tribal confederations (Geladi, Ajuuran, etc), and many fierce fighting tribes that were able to combat the Abyssinians.

Wallahi all those coons downing Somali ppl and glorifying these hebesha mongrels remember this we are the one that ended their fledgling power that they had in the horn and made them landlocked and controlled the Silk Road,
Axum After a second golden age in the early 6th century the empire began to decline in the mid 6th century, eventually ceasing its production of coins in the early 7th century. Around this same time, the Aksumite population was forced to go farther inland to the highlands for protection, abandoning Aksum as the capital

We made these niggas go further inland, if we Somali ppl can reduce this supposed ancient super power to only control couple of mountains. Our ancient ppl were something and don’t insult them

My friend was talking about how christians would come to us for cinnamon and other things. They called us "The gods of the east" and more. Idk if its 100% true but if it is, it looks like we have rich history

It isn't necessarily Christian but essentially the old world.

Somalia and the rest of the Horn of Africa is a strategic location for trade. As such, many peoples went there to trade.

As for the Gods of the East idea, I think you're mistaking it for the Land of Punt, which they used to call the land of Gods. This probably means that the Gods the Egyptians used to worship came from there, not that the people there are Gods.

Finally, we don't really know where the Land of Punt was.

We have clues that point to it being most likely in the Horn of Africa. Also, as it was a trading point, it was probably coastal. Modern day Somalia, Eritrea and Djibouti are good candidates. Or all three

Ethiopia mentioned in the Bible is not necessarily limited to modern Ethiopia. It was a word used for dark-skinned that lived south of Egypt. Check the greek description for further specification of the origin of the word itself.

What is there to conquer? Why would any empire want control of empty deserts inhabited by warlike nomads?

Except that empty desert is the only way Axum would be able to access Yemen

Eritrea?

Explain the Axumite burials in Somaliland it’s obvious Axum had some contact with Somalis. No doubt more evidence will be discovered in the rest of Somalia
