In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the collapse of Axum's port city of Adulis and the end of the Elephant Highway ivory trade. Around the 7th century, Adulis declined due to silting, rising sea levels, and the rise of Islam, which disrupted Red Sea routes. Lucas explains how the ivory trade had connected Axum to Rome, India, and beyond, and how its end contributed to the kingdom's slow decline. He discusses the role of the Beja people, who shifted from trade partners to raiders, and the shift of power inland to the highlands. The episode also touches on archaeological evidence at Adulis and mentions the Periplus of the Erythraean Sea, Cosmas Indicopleustes, and the Monumentum Adulitanum. It ends with a reflection on how environmental and economic shifts can silently transform civilizations. #Axum #Adulis #ElephantHighway #IvoryTrade #EastAfrica #RomanTrade #Beja #CosmasIndicopleustes #PeriplusOfTheErythraeanSea #AncientTrade #RedSea #PortDecline #ClimateChangeHistory #Silting #MonumentumAdulitanum #AfricanHistory #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
