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.

    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.

    That's an amazing project! I wish we could find so much more archaelogists like you to (re)-discover our mother land Africa. I agree with her, our cultural heritage is indeed a basic human need.
  • 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!!

    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

    *Reads comments* How can sooo many people miss the integral message being put forward. We all know of paralysis by analysis, but it's a sad day when we're subject to ignorance by short-sightedness...
