Professor this an excellent vid to understand and highlight the reciprocal influences between these cultures, which have traditionally been seen as unconnected.
The Axumite Empire controlled parts of Yemen for centuries. Sabean script is found on obelisks in northern Ethiopia, Tigray (In Axum, in the oldest church at Yeha) and in Eritrea, which were both part of the ancient Axumite Empire. There are also connections with cultural food in this entire region and also Somalia. Injera is the flat bread made of Teff that is the staple food of Ethiopians and Eritreans, but if you look at canjeero in Somalia and Lahoh another flat bread in Yemen you will notice the similarities in these three. The semetic languages and Sabean-Arabic connections you mentioned are also significant indicators of the connections across these redsea states within the broader Middle East.
Btw Abraha was an Axumite general who made his self king on the Saudi/Yemen territory of Axum. His name is prevalent in Ethiopia and has a twin brother which a city in Tigray is named after them.
Axum never sold people. List your source? They sold exotic animals, frankincense, mur, camels, coffee, golds and even clothes but not people. They already owned and taxed the trade route from Sudan to India. Root words don’t come from Amharic. Amharic is not a language spoken in Aksum since it didn’t even exist then. Only ge’ez then Tigrynia and Tigre came from it. Saba is her name and she was the Queen of Axum but Yemen calls her Sheba. Zagwe dynasty came after the fall of Axum. I think they were the last ruling family of Axum and are ethnically Agew (Cushitic even though the majority of the people are “semetic” or stems from Ge’ez and not Cushitic language family ) They moved further south into new territory (present day northern Amhara region) after Queen Yodit was killing everyone for converting to Christianity, accepting a savior has already arrived.

We have so much to learn and understand about this area. That’s why I made a part 2 on the subject. Thanks for coming.
Graham Hancock's book on the Ark is excellent. It's called The Sign and the Seal.
I read that book!!!
It’s a good one!!!
I used it for my College research essay. We might have to run it back on the podcast.
The Sabaeans and their secret knowledge of the stars were a significant group throughout early history. Please discuss them further!
Stay tuned!!!

I didn’t know that. Thanks for adding value to the discussion. I’ll look into it.
We will revisit the Sabeans

Happy birthday to Granny bro
@@moe9659 thanks
Btw Abraha was an Axumite general who made his self king on the Saudi/Yemen territory of Axum. His name is prevalent in Ethiopia and has a twin brother which a city in Tigray is named after them.
Interesting
Thanks for sharing
From west Ethiopia
Yes indeed
In certain religious cultures why did things change from Women being Queens and deities to not being able to show their faces or read and write.
@@moe9659 we may have to add this on to the Queens of the South next spring
Did Arabia share God's or Kings like the Roman's did with Africans back then? I saw a lot of Stautues of African deities.
@@moe9659 that’s an interesting question. I know there are some influences. We may have to address it

Sounds like a corrupt empire.
What does?
