Yemen's Jewish Empire: The Himyarite Kingdom
Om avsnittet
In this episode, Lucas and Luna delve into the forgotten Himyarite Kingdom of Yemen, a Jewish empire that dominated the region from the 2nd to the 6th century. Discover how this ancient kingdom rose to power, converting to Judaism under King Tubba' Abu Karib As'ad and later facing the Christian Aksumite invasion. We explore the dramatic story of King Yusuf As'ar Yath'ar, known as Dhu Nuwas, his persecution of Christians in Najran, and the ensuing war with Kaleb of Aksum. Learn about the Himyarite legacy, including the collapse of the Marib Dam and the role of the kingdom in pre-Islamic Arabian trade. This episode shines a light on a pivotal but often overlooked chapter in Middle Eastern history, revealing how religious and political tensions shaped the region centuries before Islam.
