They actually found 18th dynasty egyptian beads at Juba? Yeah it at least establishes that the region had trading contacts, or with a middleman nearby.
They also found ancient egyptian pottery remains at Hafun but was Ptolemaic. but yeah not much excavations have been done in Somalia , so we don't even know a fraction of the trade or production even.

Sadly the only things that have been excavated on our shores so far only go back to antiquity. Once things get more stable and qualified teams are able to navigate those territories safely I’m sure we’ll discover wonders. Especially PL’s Indian Ocean and the Gulf of Aden
Northern Somalia is safe and navigable,they should be some excavations

It is but just the name Somalia makes people reluctant from even considering it
yeah thats the case for a lot of african countries unfortunately, invest needs to happen and more stabilization so that teams will actually be able to go there. Hopefully it all works out in the future.
Yeah.
Would the East Cushitic split have happened when Egyptians were visiting Punt? I remember posting a video of some linguistic expert saying South Cushitic was impacted by an east Cushitic language (most likely early Oromo type). I wonder if the early south Cushitic types journeyed through Somalia or stayed there for a while. When you see those DNA samples from Nubia to Kenya and the rock arts it shows you there was a kind of a Cushitic cultural realm across East Africa.
