2 unusual facts about Somali mythology


Somali mythology

The Somali people in pre-Islamic times are believed to have adhered to a complex monotheistic belief system, with a set of deities superseded by a single all-powerful figure called Eebe (God, also known as Waaq).

Places such as Abudwaq, Ceel Waaq ("Well of God") and other similar towns with the name Waq in it suggest a relation to the old Waaq worship practiced in the Horn.
