The Forgotten Minæans: Yemen's First Incense Empire
Om avsnittet
Long before Saba and Himyar, the Minæan kingdom (Ma'in) dominated the frankincense and myrrh trade from its capital at Yathill (modern Baraqish). This episode explores how the Minæans built a commercial empire stretching from the Hadhramaut to the Mediterranean, their unique script and language, and their rivalry with the Sabæans. We also look at how the ruins of Baraqish face threats today from conflict and neglect, linking ancient glory to modern crisis. Featuring the kings Waqah'il Yafa' and Abkarib, the temple of 'Athtar, and the inscription of the 'Minaeans' at Delos.
