The Issa tribe is a branch of Somali People . They live mainly in Djibouti , in Ethiopia and the North of Somalia ,in Zayla ,Lughaya and Awdal region .

History : Encyclopćdia Britannica located Punt as follows:“In ancient Egyptian and Greek geography, the southern coast of the Red Sea,corresponding to modern coastal Eritrea, Djibouti and Somalia ."/ In “The Making of Egypt” (1939). Petrie states that the Land of Punt was “sacred to the Egyptians as the source of their race" .

« Again the representations of the early Puntites, or Somali people, on the Egyptian monuments, show striking resemblances to the Egyptians themselves. » By Brian Brown New York: Brentano's[1923]/
We can understand their ancestral history :
According to the historian Richard Pankhurst :"""The Egyptians sometimes called Punt land Ta-Netjeru, meaning "Land of the Gods," and considered it their place of origin ." (Richard Pankhurst, The Ethiopian Borderlands:) /

"In addition to the erection and endowments of many temples listed in the Palermo Stone, the Pharaohs of the Fifth Dynasty were active in expanding the existing trade relations with neighbouring countries , as the King Sahure (2458-2446 B.C.) from this Egyptian Old Kingdom, Dynasty V (2498-2491 B.C.), who made a trade expedition to the Land of Punt . Egyptian ships also reached the shores of the land of Punt on the Somali coast to procure highly valued cargoes of myrrh, ebony and animals, among other goods. " Text Reference: The UNESCO General History of Africa: Ancient Civilization of Africa, Vol, II, General History of Africa, G. Mokhtar, 1990, p 64-68

The greek historian Diodorus of Sicily in his book "Universal history "said that in 6th century before-J-Christ , because of the euro-asiatics invasions in Egypt , more than 200 thousands of ancient-egyptians left Egypt and migrated in the south of the Nile , in the direction of Ethiopia ,East Africa (Now,Sudan ,Ethiopia ,Somalia ,Djibouti...) ./ This last historical fact can explain why the somali language is a survived ancient-egyptian language ,according to the british linguist :"The language of ancient Egypt
belonged to the Hamitic group;today, of course, the language of
Egypt is a form of Arabic, but a descendant of the ancient Hamitic
language of Egypt, Coptic, survived until about the fifteenth
century, and is still used as the liturgical language of the Coptic
Church.Surviving Hamitic languages are spoken across a large part of North Africa and include Somali." (The english language ,A Historical Introduction," by Charles Barber .)

Somali's Ancient-Egyptian DNA:

Even, the genetic research prove that the somali DNA is originally from Egypt => Haplogroup E1b1b1a (V68) :19th century before J-Christ => Place of origin : Egypt and northern Soudan . Extract of the research : ( More recently, Tillmar et al. (2009) typed 147 males from Somalia for 12 Y-STR loci, and observed that 77% (113/147) had typical E1b1b1a1b haplotypes. This is currently the highest frequency of E1b1b1a1b found in any single sample population. Similarly, Hassan et al. (2008) in their study observed this to be the most common of the sub-clades of E-M78 found in Sudan, especially among the Beja, Masalit and Fur. The Beja, like Somalis, Sahos ,Afars and Oromos, speak an Afro-Asiatic language and live along the "corridor" from Egypt to the Horn of Africa.)

Thanks for sharing !

This is an image of my desk...right now at this moment. It's 9:20pm. I'm at work. If I count the hours before school gets out, and look at my To Do list...there aren't enough hours.

Yet, as I'm mentally exhausted, all I REALLY have energy for is to check Flicr, guzzle some Dew, and try not to have a panic attack.

Maybe my next procrastination appointment will have to be a photo of my To Do list... ugh...

Lord, help me find the time, the energy, and the ability to do it all on very little sleep. He is my source and my strength, because I can't do it on my own.
