    You guys do yourselves and future generations a great disservice by spreading and continuing to spread falsehoods about Somalis and their supposed history. When was the word 'Somali' or 'Soo-mal' mentioned in any ancient egyptian writing reffering to the land of Punt? that is news to me it would be great to know the source. Far as I know the first refference to an ethnic people known as somalis is found in Ethiopian writing dating back hundreds of years not 'thousands'. We need more real historians, less people who spread non-sense.

    If it hurts you so much why are you on this forum?

    Muqdisho was part of the Persian Empire and then it was part of the Omani Empire - not sure if it ever fell under Ottoman rule. The name Muqdisho originates from the the term 'Maqcad Shah' as the Arabs referred to it. This is according to Abdullah Hakim Quick in his Islam in Africa and he references early Islamic historians.

     

    Blessed its sometimes better to learn about your history your self then from some so called sheik who doesn't have any historical understanding of the place. First of all their was never an Persian Empire in Somalia, nor did they control any part of Somalia, that is a huge historical inaccuracy. Whiles Mogadishu was brief occupied by the Omani Sultanate of Zanzibari it was only few years before Italian Colonization came.

    What I dislike the most is Somalis who have no knowledge of their own history, who believe anyone and anything without even thinking and question what that person says.

    Nothing to do with Nayruus. Nayruus is celebrated in Maarso, Dabshid in Luulyo. Two complete traditions, which share the fire celebration. And the fire is our 'fireworks.'

     

    It doesn't mean Soomaalida weren't aware Nayruus, because they did since our forefathers traded with Persians and even a few of our cities and towns have Persian influence and names, like Muqdisho, Banaadir iyo Gendershe.

    Tell me where you the idea that muqidhso, banadir or gendershe have persian origins and I mean proper references not Samatar or IM Lewis, but proper references.


  4. No one knows the true meaning of the word ""Mogadishu", theirs no histroical documentation of the meaning of the word. The term "Seat of the Shah" as Mogadishu was one created by colonial powers because they believed that Africans couldn't build cities rather it was outsiders, and many so called acadamics both Somali and Non somali ran away with the word.
