The Hellenic-Egyptian Ptolemaic Dynasty procured elephants from the interior of present-day Somaliland over 2,000 years ago. The beasts were carried in specialised ships called 'Elephantegoi' (elephant-carriers), and were sent to Berenike in Upper Egypt. The first image shows a gold stater coin issued under Ptolemy I Soter, the first king and founder of the Ptolemaic Dynasty of Egypt. The reverse shows a quadriga drawn by four elephants, driven by Alexander the Great. The second image depicts a sketch of elephants congregating around a pool and was first published in Seventeen Trips Through Somaliland. The author, Swayne, notes that in 1884 elephants were 'plentiful' in the Golis and Wagar mountains, and that in the colder months they descended from the high mountains and followed the seasonal streams downward towards the edge of the maritime mountains where they fed on creepers and aloe plants. While sadly elephants are now extinct in Somaliland, there are still place names that preserve the presence of elephants in Somaliland such as Tog Marodi Jeh (Tog Maroodi Jeex), a seasonal river that flows through the capital Hargeisa, and Dhagah Marodi (Dhagax Maroodi), an ancient rock art site located near Gabiley.

However, According to the 6th century Arab Christian poet, ‘Adi ibn Zayd (c.550AD-600AD), Barbarian (Somali) troops were still in Sana’a during the Persian siege of the city in 570 AD, After which Axumite rule in South Arabia came to an abrupt end. In his poem, As recorded by Ibn Hisham in his Al Sirah Al Nabawiyyah, ‘Adi and the general population of Yemen rejoice the end of the Ethiopian-Somali occupation, Depicting the expulsion of the occupying army by Sayf Dhi Yazan as a restoration, and showing a scene where his followers shout curses and insults at the retreating Axumite-Barbarian soldiers. The 12th century Andalusian Scholar, Abd Al Rahman Al-Suhayli explains in his book al-Rawd al-Unuf that the Axumites (Ethiopians) and Barbars (Somalis) are both Hamites who descend from Ham.

Ottoman cartography and regional exonyms in the Horn of Africa [1872] Dated 1289 AH, this late 19th-century Ottoman map records the northern region of the Somali peninsula under the designation "ايذور"(Iydoor/ldoor). The name “Idoor” was a term derived from the Somali word for trade and commerce, And historically functioned as a prominent regional and colonial exonym for the Isaaq, highlighting their dominant historical position as the primary merchants and traders managing the coastal and interior commerce of the territory.

A sketch of warrior poet Husein Hasan (Eidagale Garhajis) and his trusted steed Mangalool being pursued by a lioness [1896]. After one of his successful raids, Husein’s horse Mangalool collapsed from fatigue in the midst of a dry year. To save him, Husein rushed his looted camels to a well, then slaughtered them periodically along the 20 mile return journey to provide Mangalool with regular water. Husein stated that he would rather sacrifice 100 camels, viewing it as a small price to pay, as a recovered Mangalool would eventually help him raid many more.

In the 19th century, the majority of Somali traders who frequented Aden belonged to the wider Isaaq clan. The Habr Awal composed the bulk of these merchants, completing four voyages to Aden during the trading season, where they tended to hire a house in Aden and were accompanied by their own servants. They procured most of their goods from Harar and its environs, which included coffee, saffron, ivory, and feathers. Garhajis traders also frequented Aden regularly; however, they procured most of their goods from the Ogaden interior, which included feathers, myrrh, gum, livestock, and ghee.
