Another reason for why a state emerged from this corner of Arabia is the high mountains in Yemen capturing more moisture and rain allowing for extensive agriculture and large settlements to be possible in an otherwise barren peninsula. The Romans knew it as Arabia Felix or happy Arabia because of this. Even to this day Yemen's population is greater than the rest if its neighbors on the peninsula.

@@albaraqahtani Indigenous Ethiopians made coffee (Obviously. A population uses its resources, they don't just export them.) and there is evidence they made a thicker kind of brew. It was simply cultivated in Yemen and popularized from there as an alternative to alcohol in a form we recognize today. Further research indicates Ethiopians would have likely made a paste of the beans, which evolved into the thick, porridge-like substance that eventually became coffee.

@safuwanfauzi5014 2 месяца назад

Himyar was Arab who converted to Judaism, today Yemeni Jews mostly in Israel are forgotten their roots, they are Arab not are really Israelite Hebrew or Jews ethnic. same to Ethiopian Jews and European Jews are converted or intermixed fully with local so very2 less have Israelites blood/dna. Nabateans Arabs also interesting, today arab script are base on Nabateans script, and Petra is their capital, Negev(site like Avdat), part of Sinai, Gaza, Jordan, North Saudi(site like Madain Saleh etc) that become today Arab civilization and culture. Himyar used Old south Arabian script, it not survive because Nabateans script used widely by Arab tribe and clan. Pre-Islam Saudi Arabia, they should used Old North Arabian script like "Dumaitic, Hismaic, Dadanitic, Safaitic, Taymaniti" but becasue of Nabateans and Arab Muslim, only 1 Arab script become standarnized. today that Arab and Quran used. Old south arabian survive in Eritrea and Ethiopia as 'Geez script' Ethiopia civilzation come from Yemen or South Arabia. that why they share culture, religion, architecture and writing script. it was Semitic and Pre-Islam Arab colonies. just like Comoros and Zanzibar was Arab colonies, Qedar Cofederation and Nabateans who rule today Jordan, Israel, Sinai and North Saudi Arabia, and later Ghassanid Arab Kingdom(200AD-632AD) was forgotten they rule for 3000 years, they rule today Palestine-Israel until 1948-1967, not begin with 632AD in Islamic Arab. it long before that.

@@natinaeldaniel1962 he had an episode on the Red Sea trade during antiquity. He follows the old white supremacist traditions of Western "historians". Either down play historic achievements or credit someone non-black for the achievement. Therefore I wouldn't rely too much on this channel for accuracy on African history in general.

Lebanese historian Kamal Salibi argues through meticulous studies of place-names in Yemen, that Yemen is actually the actual land where the events of the Bible unfold. I wouldn't necessarily agree, but he puts forth some compelling evidence and an interesting outlook.

Here in Indonesia, Many Yemeni descendant and most of them have The surnames Basalamah, Baswedan, and Alatas and these surnames in Yemen are The surnames of royal family clan, Perhaps they are related to The Royal Family of The Himyar Kingdom or The descendants of Queen of Sheba maybe About Najran Christians It's The Story of Ashabul Okhdood and that story recorded in The Quran

Those names are from Hadhramaut and have no direct relation to Himyarite clans.

@@user-eu9mz7pl3k okay, I'll be honest I never read the book. But I do know the plot. The king in the story marries women for one night and kills them. His new bride stalls this by telling him stories for 101 nights all while stopping for the night and continues the next night. The three stories I know is Aladdin, Ali Baba and the 40 thieves, and the adventures of Sinbad.

I have always considered the Himyars and the other peoples of Yemen in the pre-Islamic era as being somewhat similar to those of the Levant during Antiquity prior to the rise of Alexander the Great. You have in a region various peoples united by a similar language, yet divided by culture, lifestyle, and faith. Ethnically and culturally, the Phoenicians and Canaanites were very similar, and the ancient Hebrews themselves were a people closely related and yet far apart in the hinterlands of that region. All likely shared a common ancestry but due to their locations and their lifestyles, their cultures, faiths, and the means by which their societies thrived were vastly different. It is entirely plausible that the ancient Yemenis followed a similar course, between radically different existences of those peoples living along the coast when compared to living in the interior, and as the video states there may well have been a limited and ancient connection between their society and the ancient Hebrews. Whether this is due to trade, common history/culture, or because of migration remains uncertain. However, the course of Yemen's history bears a remarkable similarity to that of the Levant, with numerous kingdoms and empires rising and falling, unifying it, warring over it, and subjugating it.

The Quran talks about the story of The Queen of Sheba (Saba) and Prophet Solomon. That was before Himyar existed which explains Judaism presence in Yemen
