Naasa Hablood

Naasa Hablood (Somali: Naaso Hablood) (literally, Girl's Breasts) are twin hills situated on the outskirts of the city of Hargeisa in northeastern Somaliland.

History

Naasa Hablood

It is believed that the Naasa Hablood were formed after earthquakes struck the region several million years ago.^{[citation needed]} When Somalis ruled the area now known as Somalia thousands of years ago, Ancient Egyptians came to their lands (which were then known as the Land of Punt). The Ancient Egyptians presented the locals with gifts and, in exchange, they received frankincense and myrrh. ==See also==
