Graves

Are you aware of any pre-Islamic graves in northern Somalia? Have they been linked to Somalis? If not, then what communities? Thank you for your time. AcidSnow (talk) 03:10, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hey man! It's been a minute. No, I'm not that familiar. Generally, though, graves in the area are associated with the ancient Harla. Cheers-- Soupforone (talk) 03:13, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, I am not particulary active on Wikipedia at this moment. If you every need input on a subject, then feel free to ask. Anyways, there seems to be several overlaps with Somalis and the "Harla", so it isn't particularly surprising that many historians believe that those communities aren't separate ethnic groups.

In addition, are the terms "Negro", "olive", and "black people" that are used by Leo Africanus mutually exclusive? His statements regarding the inhabitants of northern and eastern Somalia would indicate that he is referring to Somalis, except the olive skin part. AcidSnow (talk) 12:09, 11 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
