Overview
Macajilayn is situated to the east of the old coastal town of Heis.[1]
The site contains a number of cairns, from which excavations have yielded Roman and Nubian imports. Based on these finds, the structures have been estimated to date between the 1st and 4th centuries CE.[1]
Additionally, along with Salweyn, Macajilayn is the only local site where specialized ancient disc-like monuments have been found.[1]

gollark: People are entirely free to *not* buy a new phone every 6 months and... mostly do... the phone market has been declining because of lengthening upgrade cycles. If people buy unreasonable amounts it's because *they want that*, though possibly because of advertising which is terrible.
gollark: So how do you solve this? Just have someone say "no phones for you if you ask for them too often"?
gollark: It's more efficient in terms of output things per input things.
gollark: You can't reasonably cater to every individual separately, because mass production is more efficient.
