Aden Before the British: Yemen's Ancient Port City
Om avsnittet
Long before the British captured Aden in 1839, this natural harbour was a vital hub for global trade. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore Aden's ancient origins as Eudaemon Arabia, a key stop on the frankincense route. They trace its medieval history under the Rasulids and Tahirids, the Portuguese siege of 1513, and its role as a coffee-exporting port. Learn about the Lahej sultans who controlled Aden in the 18th century and the economic forces that drew British attention. This episode fills the gap between Yemen's ancient kingdoms and the colonial era, revealing how Aden's geography shaped its destiny.
