Before the rock-hewn churches of Lalibela, before the Solomonic dynasty, Ethiopia's Aksumite Empire was a naval superpower. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore how Aksum's fleet — built from teak and powered by monsoon winds — dominated the Red Sea and Indian Ocean trade routes for centuries. They dive into the reign of King Kaleb, whose amphibious invasion of Himyar (modern Yemen) in 525 CE was one of the ancient world's most daring military operations, crossing 300 miles of open ocean to crush a Jewish king's persecution of Christians. Lucas unpacks the engineering of Aksumite warships, the strategic port of Adulis, and the economic empire built on ivory, frankincense, and gold. They also examine the decline: the rise of Sassanid Persia, the spread of Islam, and the mysterious abandonment of Adulis. Along the way, they touch on the Periplus of the Erythraean Sea, the stele of Ezana, and the devastating Sassanid invasion of 570 CE. It's a story of maritime ambition, faith, and the fragile nature of ancient power. #AksumiteNavy #RedSeaHistory #KingKaleb #Adulis #Himyar #Ezana #Periplus #IndianOceanTrade #EthiopianEmpire #AncientNavalWarfare #SassanidPersia #DhuNuwas #Najran #CosmasIndicopleustes #Axum #EastAfricaHistory #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
