    Ancient Somali city-states

    Ancient city-states of Somalia

    In antiquity, the ancestors of the Somali people were an important link in the Horn of Africa connecting the region's commerce with the rest of the ancient world. Somali sailors and merchants were the main suppliers of frankincense, myrrh and spices, items which were considered valuable luxuries by the Ancient Egyptians, Phoenicians, Mycenaeans and Babylonians. During the classical era, several ancient city-states competed with the Sabaeans, Parthians and Axumites for the wealthy Indo-Greco-Roman trade. The Somali city-states on the northern Somali coast have been active since the late bronze ge until Islamic period with evidence of the ancient city-state of Mosylon. According to historical records, the Egyptian Pharaoh Sesostris led his forces to mosylon and passed the Port of Isis. The ancient local commercial center of the Port of Isis is believed to correspond with the town of Bulhar, situated near Zeila. Wikipedia
