The Himyarite Kingdom: Arabia's Jewish Empire
Om avsnittet
Episode 100 of The History of Yemen takes us back to the 4th and 5th centuries CE, when the Himyarite kingdom dominated Arabia and adopted Judaism as its state religion. We explore the conversion of King Malikikarib Yuhamin, the geopolitical rivalry with Christian Aksum, and the brutal persecution of Christians in Najran under Yusuf As'ar Yath'ar (Dhu Nuwas). We also examine the Himyarite economy, based on trade in frankincense and myrrh, and the mysterious collapse of the kingdom in the 6th century. This episode builds on earlier discussions of Saba and the Queen of Sheba, offering a deeper dive into a pivotal period that shaped Yemen's religious and political landscape for centuries.
