The Aksumite Navy: How Ethiopia Ruled the Red Sea

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the naval power of the Aksumite Empire. Long before the Solomonic dynasty, Aksum dominated the Red Sea with a fleet that controlled trade routes from Africa to India. They discuss the port of Adulis, the Periplus of the Erythraean Sea, the empire's war with Himyar under Kaleb, and the mysterious decline of Aksum's maritime strength. How did a highland kingdom become a thalassocracy? And why did it vanish from the waves?
