Axum's King GDRT: Conquests and Inscriptions

This episode dives into the shadowy reign of King GDRT (Gadarat), an early Aksumite ruler who expanded the kingdom's reach into southern Arabia. We explore the evidence from Sabaic inscriptions, the rivalry with Himyar, and how GDRT's campaigns laid the groundwork for later Axumite dominance. Learn about the Monumentum Adulitanum, the elusive Negus GDRT, and the strategic control of the Red Sea trade. We also examine the debated chronology and the king's role in shaping early Ethiopian statehood. A must for fans of ancient African empires and Red Sea geopolitics. #GDRT #Gadarat #Axum #Aksumite #Himyar #RedSea #MonumentumAdulitanum #Sabaic #Negus #EthiopianHistory #AncientAfrica #EastAfrica #Yemen #TradeRoutes #Geopolotics #Inscriptions #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
