In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the decline of the Aksumite Empire, one of antiquity's great but lesser-known powers. They focus on the reign of King Ezana, who converted to Christianity in the 4th century, and examine how Aksum's economy, reliant on Red Sea trade and the port of Adulis, faltered as climate shifts and the rise of Islam rerouted commerce. Key figures include Ezana, Frumentius (the missionary who converted him), and Kaleb (who invaded Yemen). The conversation touches on the mysterious stelae of Aksum, the role of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, and the shift of power southward to the Zagwe dynasty. Lucas also discusses the controversial theory that Aksum's decline was accelerated by environmental degradation from intensive farming. #AksumiteEmpire #Ezana #Frumentius #Adulis #RedSeaTrade #EthiopianOrthodoxChurch #Kaleb #Zagwe #ClimateChange #LateAntiquity #History #FexingoHistory #EmpireCollapse #TradeRoutes #Archaeology #Axum #Christianity #SoilErosion Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
