[/Another Tang Dynasty document, You Yang Za Zu by Duan Chengshi, also contains a paragraph describing supposedly another African kingdom, the Bobali Kingdom. Here the people ate meat but not grain. They extracted blood from the jugular of their cows and mixed it with milk for drinking – a practice quite common among pastoralists in the Horn of Africa even today. Duan says their land had never been subjugated and in battles they used ivory shields and the horns of the wildebeest. According to Li Anshan, most scholars believe the Bobali Kingdom was located in modern-day Berbera, in the Somali region of Somaliland. - See more at: http://newafricanmagazine.com/chinas-long-history-africa/#sthash.3iIFjHl1.dpuf http://newafricanmagazine.com/chinas-long-history-africa/

Isn't it just the Maasai who do that blood drinking thing today? They must have inherited that custom from the cushitic people they assimilated hundreds of years ago.
