Alexandre was in Somalia

Many Afrocentric proponents would put your idea "bass ackward": it was the ancient Somalis who taught Alexander the art of swordmaking, war, and universal culture.
Yannis, do not get upset, but the truth is that Aristoteles was a Tutsi!

You mean because those blades are shaped like an Ancient Greek kopis?

Don't quite a few blades have a similar shape? Nepali kukris and Turkish yataghans also have that forward curve.

Hi Tim

I'm pretty sure that the Afar dagger is more closely linked to the jambiya than to the kukri.
