From the incense kingdoms of antiquity to the crucible of modern geopolitics, Yemen's history is a saga of resilience, trade, and tragedy. Lucas and Luna guide listeners through the Sabaean Kingdom, where the legendary Queen of Sheba may have ruled, and the Himyarite realm that embraced Judaism before Islam. Explore the rise of the Zaydi imams in the northern highlands, the Ottoman and British colonial entanglements, and the 1962 republican revolution that ended a millennium of imamate rule. The show delves into the Cold War proxy conflicts, the unification of North and South Yemen in 1990, and the fractured state that emerged in the 2011 Arab Spring. We examine the Houthi movement's origins in Zaydi revivalism, the Saudi-led intervention since 2015, and the humanitarian catastrophe that has unfolded. Along the way, we discuss Yemeni coffee's global legacy from the port of Mocha, the unique architecture of Shibam and Sana'a, and the vibrant poetry and music that endure. This is not a linear narrative but a conversation that weighs ancient ingenuity against modern failure, asking what Yemen's past tells us about its possible futures. #YemenHistory #SabaeanKingdom #QueenOfSheba #Himyar #ZaydiImamate #OttomanYemen #BritishAden #YemenRevolution #NorthSouthYemen #HouthiMovement #SaudiLedIntervention #YemenWar #MochaCoffee #Shibam #Sanaa #History #WorldHistory #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo© 2026 Fexingo.

    2026/07/17
    In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the dramatic discovery and subsequent loss of the Qataban civilization, centered on the 1963 archaeological excavation at the site of Timna in Wadi Beihan. They discuss the pioneering work of American archaeologist Wendell Phillips and his team, who uncovered a pre-Islamic South Arabian kingdom that thrived on the incense trade. The conversation delves into the unique inscriptions, the temple of Attar, the royal palace of Yada'il Dharih, and the mysterious collapse of Qataban. They also touch on the challenges of archaeology in a conflict zone, the looting of artifacts, and what the remnants tell us about ancient Yemeni society, culture, and religion. This episode offers a fresh perspective on a lesser-known kingdom that once controlled the frankincense route. #Qataban #Timna #WendellPhillips #WadiBeihan #YemenArchaeology #IncenseTrade #Attar #Yada'ilDharih #SouthArabianKingdoms #FrankincenseRoute #AncientYemen #1963Excavation #ALAOS #Looting #PreIslamicYemen #History #FexingoHistory #MiddleEast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

    Yemen's Forgotten King: The Himyarite Emperor Who Conquered Persia
    2026/07/16
    In this episode of The History of Yemen, Lucas and Luna explore the remarkable reign of Tubba' Abu Karib As'ad, the Himyarite king who not only unified much of Yemen but also launched military campaigns as far as Persia. We trace his rise from the highlands of Zafar to his conquests across the Arabian Peninsula, his encounter with the Sasanian Empire, and the legendary accounts of his conversion to Judaism. Along the way, we discuss the ancient city of Raydan, the Himyarite confederation, and the writings of Procopius that hint at Yemen's forgotten imperial moment. This episode offers a fresh look at a pre-Islamic power that Rome and Persia both courted. #Himyar #TubbaAbuKaribAsad #Yemen #AncientYemen #KingdomOfHimyar #Zafar #Raydan #SasanianEmpire #PreIslamicArabia #Procopius #HimyariteJudaism #AncientHistory #MiddleEastHistory #ArabianPeninsula #YemenHistory #FexingoHistory #History #Podcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
