Cultural heritage: a basic human need - Sada Mire at TEDxEuston

[@sofeyassin5588]

Dr sada is behind the discovery of almost all archaeologist sites in Somalia , Somalis are proud of her

[@KSmall109CAB]

A wonderful and stimulating presentation. The Horn of Africa has been a place where many cultures have intersected for generations. Sada Mire has done research to confirm this.

[@toersoy]

Dr. Sada Mire eloquently argues that cultural heritage is a basic human need, vital for our sense of identity and community. Her insights on how cultural preservation fosters understanding and continuity are deeply inspiring. It's a powerful reminder of the importance of protecting our cultural treasures in a rapidly changing world. Thank you for shedding light on the profound connection between heritage and human well-being. This is a must-watch for anyone passionate about history, culture, and identity. 🌍📚👏"

[@ramatgan1]

Thank you Sada. So proud of you. You are a Somalian hero. Beauty and Intelligence.

[@just_a_random_3280]

There is a lot of history in that region and it is ppl like you who have the responsibility to bringing them to the world stage. Great Job!!

[@chakiraadam5608]

[@aniela129]

It is interesting to see how discovering more about your culture can impact on your identity.

[@keamokoofdasun]

Absolutely; impacts your Identity, self esteem and position in the greater human chain. I am constantly excited about projects of self discovery and recovery.

[@cspliff]

I commend Sada for her work as it can only have a positive impact on everyone. As a Jamaican , I appreciate any African who is uplifting the African race and telling the story that early day European colonist wanted to erase from History. Surely DNA and archaeological finds have proved the African race as the building block for all other races. The cultural and religious issues will not be solved until we all agree were we come from. 1God 1Luv

[@ismailmohammad4002]

Africans aren't one race, Somalis don't even share any genetics or paternal Y DNA haplogroups with any africans except those in Ethiopia Eritrea Djibouti Sudan and north africa

[@ignaz3254]

Africa has the most genetic and cultural variance of all continents. To speak of an a african race or culture is just as nonsense as it gets.

[@sjoerdvanderlinde5295]

[@sarahbrinnsmith]

"people value the knowledge rather than the possession of an object" - beautiful, masha'Allah. There will be a day on which we will be responsible for what we have done with our knowledge, on that day any possessions or objects will cease to be a factor that defines our worth. see Surah Maryam 19: 74-80

impressive and very lucid

[@Bonjourviram5]

The Somalia she's talking about pertains to the pre-Islamic era better known as the jahiliya period for any Muslim. As an anthropologist, the essence of her job is to delve and dig deep into such ancient cultures and societies. With that said I don't know how some people can come to the conclusion that she's a murtad/apostate just from listening to this clip as if the two are mutually inclusive. Unless of course, there's something am missing. Anyhow, May Allah grant her the ability to serve His purpose on this earth to the best of her ability and the same goes for us all. Amin ya Allah.

[@KommosConservancy]

Landscape as a significant place beyond a building, town or municipal area. Many indigenous people believe that places that matter are larger than that which a person may build walls around or a municipality may survey and create artificial boarders. But it may be said that a single person, municipality or corporation has legal ownership and the right to use (exploit) for their exclusive benefit. Sacred space succumbs, then now, here there and change ensues. That which was sacred is lost but for archaeology to retell.

[@ainathiel]

She may need to rethink her jewelry at her next talk. I do not think she is denigrating Islam. I think she is trying to link archaeology with cultural knowledge and stressing the importance of studying ancient history before Islam. It is important to know how the ancestors lived. It is done in other places Greece, China, South America. Why not Somalia?

[@thewhowhatwherewhyho]

That is the most depressing thing I've ever heard. I was wondering why there weren't many medieval structures left, so there was a culture of seeing remnants of older eras as disposable when big things happened to somalis?

[@prism0_0]

There are many medieval structures left, the reason why you don't know much about it is because not much research is being done in Somali regions to begin with due to the civil war and insecurity. The "looting culture" described is definitely exaggerated. You can find countless virtually untouched historical sites in Somalia and other surrounding Somali regions if they're actively being looked for, in-fact many locals are even aware of them.

[@thewhowhatwherewhyho]

@@prism0_0 I've hard a lot of anecdotal evidence (from family and friends there) that the vast majority of medieval sites situated near populated areas have been damaged/looted during the civil war. Somali towns are very old and have been inhabited for centuries, there aren't too many big sites in the middle of nowhere. I agree that there is a lot left (especially underground) but some of the most impressive stuff has been destroyed. Hopefully as the war dies down we can reconstruct what we've lost - as you've said we have a lot of evidence left behind.

[@bisharof]

Sad part of this is that she has taken the history of Somalia and has placed it with the only the community of 'somaliland'. I have nothing against somalilanders but dont forget you are Somali! If you want to highlight the historical importance of somalia stop dividing it.

[@2321channel]

Most of the archaeological sites have been found in Somaliland, with only a few in Somalia, there is no whitewashing, no hidden agenda, just basic fact. The history of Somalia is civil war, colonial kickstart, and stuff like that. Somaliland, before it came to be known that and was instead known as The Sahil, was the centre of the historical and cultural background of somalis. Therefore this is the History of Somalis, not a political entity that can be dissolved, but an ethnic group that has been around for thousands of years.

[@trollking8275]

23:21 they are found in Warsengeli/Dhulbahante lands which is Somalia, and much of the history in North is In Zeila, Awdaland etc which are Issa/Gadabursi land and as you know Awdalland, Saylac&Lughaya State are all non-issaq regions who are Pro Somali and claim Somalia. So it would be nice if Isaaq stop claiming our lands, Fk ur British Colonial borders and leave us alone we want nothing to do with you guys, change ur name to Isaaqland.

[@ahmedomar7494]
