Episode 87: The Kingdom of Aksum — Africa’s Ancient Superpower explores the state that flourished in the northern Horn of Africa and connected inland Africa with the Red Sea and Indian Ocean trading worlds. The episode examines Adulis, monumental stelae, Aksumite coinage, the conversion to Christianity under King Ezana, involvement in Arabia, and the kingdom’s links with Byzantium and early Islam. Its decline was gradual, but its religious and political legacy shaped the region for centuries.
