Kenya is not Horn of Africa.
Yes it is
Predynastic egypt began around 6000 bc and dynastic about 3500bc.
I don't doubt many came from punt, but if you really believe only one group of people was migrating to the largest commercial hub In Africa at the time for 2500 years before the formation of the first dynasty then have at it breh.
Funny how people forget that these people are also apart of the Horn...
They are just as "Horner" as these guys.

Horn if Africa is a geographic term

Technically speaking today, the most relevant country in Africa is basically South Africa, Egypt, Algeria, and Nigeria as far as GDP and what not, but still all those countries besides South Africa, are still developing countries in comparison to Western standards.
As far as historically significant it would be Egypt and what is now Northern Sudan which is uncontested, Ethiopia, and to a lesser degree other countries in North West Africa, and West Africa Sahel belt, and of course the Swahili coast.
Breh, I don't doubt that many people migrated from the horn, but there were also many different ethnic groups living in the wet Sahara at the time who migrated to the Nile valley.
To say the Egyptians were originally exclusively horners who moved to the Nile is inaccurate
I mean the first pharaoh of Egypt doesn't even have typical horn features:
Ironically, he looks more Bantulol.
The only place outside of Egypt that a clear and undeniable cultural and ethnic link with Egypt can be unequivocally substantiated is northern Sudan breh
Dont you know that there's people in the Horn of Africa with his feautures?
Not all of us have narrow noses
I dont look at somebody like him as seperate from those of us who have narrow features
Problem is, we living in the past on both ends and not working on the future.
How many of yall for real trying to do something. All my habos who wanna connect and do things, what are yall doing to reach out to each other...
All my african american brothers and sisters, I do understand how our celebration of culture can sometimes come off as condescending and superior but are we not to celebrate our cultures and embrace our differences? Will you not embrace tibs,kitfo, tsebhe, the way we've embraced soul food? Will you not iskista with us the way we dab with you?
All my west african fam, can we not start doing events with east and west africans together and support each others music and traditions. If It bumps, it bumps..
I say that to say, Let's talk about a middle ground.
We can't argue what Ethiopia or Eritrea was at any time before the present because they weren't what they are now. They were descriptions of an area (by the Red Sea/ Land of the Burnt Face) and the people who populated that area. During this time, there was a lot of royal marriages, interbreeding, slave trading, and all types of mixing of cultures throughout the whole area from the Black sea down to Sudan and modern day northern Ethiopia (at that time probably known as Abyssinia) and stretching out to the east past the red sea across to Yemen and even parts of India.
This included constant interaction with bantu tribes further south and south west. However, none of that is relevant to where we are now and what we need to do. Why not celebrate the best every culture has to offer?
