Long before the Solomonic dynasty, the Kingdom of Aksum dominated the Red Sea and the Horn of Africa. This episode focuses on Aksum's naval power under King Kaleb (ca. 520 AD), who launched a massive amphibious invasion of Himyar (Yemen) to stop the persecution of Christians. We explore the port of Adulis, the logistics of crossing the Red Sea, the use of monsoons, and the geopolitical rivalry with the Sasanian Empire. Why did Aksum need a navy? How did they build and crew their ships? And what role did Byzantine diplomacy play? We also touch on the mysterious 'Elephant of Aksum' — a war elephant captured by the Sasanians. Sources include Cosmas Indicopleustes, Procopius, and the Ethiopian "Book of the Himyarites." #Aksum #Kaleb #Himyar #RedSea #Adulis #Sasanian #Byzantium #KingDhuNuwas #NavalHistory #Ethiopia #Yemen #Monsoon #CosmasIndicopleustes #Procopius #WarElephants #AncientNavy #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
