The four great empires of the late classical period were the Hun Chinese in the east, the romans to the west, the Persians (parthian and sassanid) in the middle, and the south was the land of Axum.
I love learning about the Aksumite Empire, I don't know much about the East African civilizations compared to say West Africa and so stuff like this is very fascinating.
@@GlareBoxTV oh yeah, I've heard of them. They've been making carbon steel longer than *most* other people on earth. Sadly can't find many sources on them.
I can't express enough love for this video as an Ethiopian Orthodox Christian, you were respectful, accurate, and comprehensive. Your channel has been a brilliant find recently and I'm really enjoying your work. Keep it up
Beautiful bro I miss your videos you have so much knowledge I hope to see more content from you eventually. Love your input on those Historum forums focused on African architecture.
Interesting I think I watched a presentation on this city a few months ago they found alot of stuff indeed, Ethiopian and Eritrean cities and archeaological sites need to be examined a bit more even Aksum I believe has hardly been truly excavated. Btw some Eurocentric called Simon Webb (History Debunked) has been trying to undermine this civilization by claiming it was simply a colony from Yemen, because certain modern Ethiopian languages are Semitic thus it wasn't an African civilization so he claims (crazy logic I know lol). If you're interested I think such nonsense should be debunked in another video, the documentary I watched briefly covered this stating Sabaean influences were present but didn't dominate the region or people.
I agree that foolish nonsense should be attacked and debunked, but I wouldn't be satisfied making such a video unless I put in a lot more research than I want to right now. I think that, when I get to talking about aksumite history in more detail, I will be doing the research necessary to feel comfortable with a debunk type video. But that's a bit ahead of my plans for right now.
If you pay attention to any of that stuff you'll soon be brainwashed into believing nothing original came from Africa and was all imported by outside influences. Ignore all that.
@@GlareBoxTV 😂 if I was the people on his comment section who eat up his BS ye but, I'm afraid I'm not I do my own research and debunk the fool and his followers in his own comment section.
This is an enlightening video ngl. It would be great if you could, in the future, go around the Horn and check out all the unique and fascinating civilizations there :)
"Saudi", not "southern". Aksum has multiple coastal holdings especially in the Yemen region but how far these extended and the nature of their domination is not the clearest as far as I know.
@@hiddenhist oh gotchu, thought I heard southern, which would included Yemen. Though there is speculation, I am more inclined to believe the extent of the Axumites far exceeds what is portrayed in western approved academia. Routinely, they revise and change the extent and longevity of empires outside of the west. In 1800s the start date of Egypt was arbitrarily decided as 3200 in order to reduce the time it existed for etc. So I'm more inclined to lean in to the idea they extended far beyond what is allowed to be believed by western approved academia
@@asdfhjgasfd12 that was the army of a splinter state that had declared independence from Aksum, and which Aksum failed to reconquer. I wouldn't really consider it to be "Aksum" as a result.
@@hiddenhist but the ruler was aksumites, and his name is Abraha al ashram and according to Muslim traditions it's said that his kingdom (aksumite yemen) paid tribute to the emperor .

Exactly. Also beware of pre-21st century sources that exaggerate Sabean influence.
@@hiddenhist Alright no problem.

"Possibly even in southern Arabia"? It wasn't possibly, it just was. It was a fact

@@Eyammovie I will check on it, then, because last I checked he was only called aksumite due to his ethnic/"national" background
