Somalia, among those who have familiarized themselves with the culture and language, is well-known as being the Nation of Poets. Somalia has a rich and diverse variety of forms of poetry. There are many usages of poetry in traditional Somali society.

Somalia is also famous for its frankincense and myrrh. It's assumed by most scholars to be the most likely land which the Egyptians had referred to the Land of Punt. There is a great amount of evidence that points to Somalia as being the ancient Land of Punt, including the similarities between Somalia's ancient indigeneous spiritual beliefs and the spiritual beliefs of the ancient Egyptians, the fact that myrrh and frankincense are naturally abundant in Somalia as it is nowhere else in the world, as well as the availability of ivory and other goods that the Puntites traded with the Egyptians.

However, today, Somalia is infamous for its civil war, which has been continuing for a little over 20 years as well as piracy.
