Oman's Frankincense Economy: The Aroma of Empire

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the ancient frankincense trade that made Oman a wealthy hub for millennia. They follow the resin from the Dhofar region's groves of Boswellia sacra to the bustling ports of Sumhuram and Khor Rori, discussing how the Nabataeans and Romans prized it. They touch on the role of the Shihr and the Hadhramawt kingdoms, the decline after the fall of Rome, and the modern revival. Specifics include the incense route, the kingdom of Hadhramawt, and the UNESCO-listed Land of Frankincense. #Frankincense #Oman #Dhofar #BoswelliaSacra #IncenseRoute #Sumhuram #KhorRori #Hadhramawt #Nabataeans #AncientTrade #RomanEmpire #IndianOcean #UNESCO #ArabiaFelix #LucasAndLuna #FexingoHistory #History #MiddleEastHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
