The Ancient Kingdom of Frankincense

[@outoftheblu__]

love the focus on not well-known ancient kingdoms, good work

[@KnowHistory]

Thank you!

[@spacebunny4335]

Great work your content is really unique. I would love a series on the kingdoms of ancient southern Arabia.

[@KnowHistory]

Thank you!! :D I've though about it, perhaps if this video gets a lot of positive reception i shall make a sequel on the two other kingdoms!

[@darkranger116]

Dioscordia is described as a perfect haven for a bronze/iron age heist movie. "The best merchants from around the known world, pulling off the most impossible heist."

[@CharWick5]

Your channel always has the most interesting and unique content! Amazing job, keep it up

[@KnowHistory]

Thank you so much!! I'm glad i keep delivering great content!

[@hrafnatyr9794]

According to Wikipedia the region was called the Kingdom of Hadhramaut. There are articles about this and several contemporary south Arabian kingdoms.

[@KnowHistory]

This kingdom actually existed a couple centuries before hadhramaut was first mentioned!

[@michaelroark2019]

I found your discussion excellent about a remote part of the world and an obscure subject which is nonetheless important. I was a Historical Geography professor for 32 years so that might explain my interest. The discussion is relevant for understanding more broadly ancient trade routes in that part of the world and the links between South Asia, the Mediterranean and Africa. Sometimes a short discussion of the most relevant points can be difficult. I thought that you did an excellent job.

[@asmrnaturecat984]

Woah, never know this exist!

[@KnowHistory]

Ancient southern Arabia was dominated by trading kingdoms! there are ones even older than this one, such as Saba! :D Perhaps a future video about them can be done :P

Hi, I was wondering how you manage to get clean Imperator: Rome footage without province titles; it looks very clean, and I'd like to use it for my own stuff

[@ashleycunningham8484]

I'm literally a walking ball of random knowledge but never knew this was a kingdom! Love the channel and just subscribed! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@Sutorenja]

Really enjoying learning about these less-known parts of history. could I request something on mountain civilizations?

[@KnowHistory]

Thank you! You can request anything you want! I just can't promise I'll cover it :P but I can at least look into it and who knows perhaps someday a video can be made about it :P

The olibanum tree is plant native to the Arabian Peninsula, specifically to the countries of Oman and Yemen, and to the Horn of Africa, specifically Somalia. Wikipedia!

[@levinb1]

Very, very interesting!

[@BiggestCorvid]

Seriously, I am commenting in part to boost the engagement because most people in my area think Arabia was unoccupied desert until Islam.

[@sameendusk2623]

Hey, how do you get those videos of Imperator without countries/cities/icons and with that nice terrain?

[@micahistory]

it's interesting to learn about this

[@HatredOfMephisto]

very interesting topic i never knew this one

[@Kristaliorn]

Let's go!

[@User-qz2wz]

Please do one on Mleiha and Ed Dur aka the ancient kingdom of Oman

[@KnowHistory]

I'll add it to the sugestion box! Thank you!

[@bog572]

I see you use imperator rome

[@KnowHistory]

A lot! and CK3 as well, in medieval videos

[@andreascovano7742]

Nice!

[@KnowHistory]

Thanks! ^^

[@زنكي]

Great vudeo

[@Kokonut-er4tk]

Bro make some more vids with Imperator's map please! I love it

[@Lavey1917]

What is the name of this kingdom? Is it Hadhramaut?

[@zeyadalbadawi8774]

Yes, for some reason he forgot to mention its well-known name

[@BOIZADAS]

Sei que n tem nada a haver, mas história do Neanderthal na Iberia, poderia ser um bom tema. Especialmente, a "fronteira secular" do rio ebro com o Homo Sapiens Sapiens ou o hibrido do Menino do Lapedo. Só uma ideia...mais dentro do contexto do canal, seria brutal algo sobre o castro do zambujal e outras primeiras "cidades estado" da Iberia do bronze

[@KnowHistory]

Sobre os neanderthals n consigo garantir nada, mas as cidades estado da Iberia é capaz de ser fazível e interessante! Vou dar uma vista de olhos e adicionar na lista, Obrigado! (Fiquei curioso sobre esse Menino do Lapedo)

[@wilsontheconqueror8101]

Wasn't Yemen an ancient supplier of Frankincense as well?

[@zeyadalbadawi8774]

This is part of pre-Islamic Yemen

[@oozlefinchlover]

Does anyone know if he uses a game to make the characters and for the map?? Low key looks like CK3

[@KnowHistory]

I do, It's a game by the name of Imperator Rome, it came a few years before CK3 and it's made by the same developer! I also have videos where i use CK3, if you want to check them out, I am currently doing a series on the anglo-saxons!

[@qltcn]

As a fan of Imperator: Rome, your comment hurt a lot. Lol.

[@oozlefinchlover]

@@KnowHistory I thought it was one of the two! Cheers, wish they didn’t abandon imperator or else I would’ve bought it as well, im an avid paradox games player myself!

Great work Know History! Scooby snacks for you. My allegiance is to Liberty, the Repubic and Democracy.

Overheard once, " But mum, I wanted more gold"

[@ThaReziya]

You are taulking about ancient Kingdom of Hadhramaut

[@KnowHistory]

Perhaps, it is possible, the geographic area is the same, but there's no certainty, it could be a kingdom that came before Hadhramaut. The Greeks called Hadhramaut by the name "Chatramotitai" which is vastly different from the "Chóras Livanotofórou" mentioned in periplus.

[@zeyadalbadawi8774]

He is talking about it, but used bad sources.

[@lordvader602]

frankincense was primarily somali/ethiopian i didnt know it was big in southern arabia too

[@neverlookback1244]

Frankincense is native to Horn of Africa

[@chrisnewbury3793]

Oh I can tell you what they were trading for in "Cana" ;)

[@ziyadpepe6291]

The map ❤❤❤ You made yourself?. I mean the map and not the animation on it.

[@Kokonut-er4tk]

Imperator Rome is so beautiful 😍

[@patrickols]

Ah yes! The ancient kingdom of Frankenstein

[@Usermaatre6723]

the best frankincense is found in somaliland boswellia frereana and we also have sacra

[@youvebeengreeked]

If this kingdom has no name, then I declare it... *FRANKISTAN.*

[@KnowHistory]

Since they had links to Persia, I wouldn't be surprised if they called it Frankinstan ahah

[@Akee28]

the kingdom had names depending on the date mechant went there either SABA or HIMYAR

[@mahdimehdi445]

no ,that's kingdom of hadramout , an enemy to both seba and himyar @@Akee28

[@Fatherofheroesandheroines]

Now find the kingdom of Mur...

[@zeyadalbadawi8774]

Sorry, but this is widely inaccurate. The kingdom is well-known, and we have the names of its kings and cities and all. The Greeks knew the name of the kingdom, and the names of some of its kings. It's the kingdom of Hadhramaut, and we literally have hundreds of inscriptions from here, and we know the names of various tribes from within it, we have its coinage, its architecture, its urban planning, all.

[@shafsteryellow]

Lmao it’s somalia

[@zeyadalbadawi8774]

@@shafsteryellow somalia is in arabia now?

[@shafsteryellow]

@@zeyadalbadawi8774 where was aromata where does frankincense and myrrh come from?

[@zeyadalbadawi8774]

​​@shafsteryellow myrrh and frankincense came from both somalia and yemen, and still are produced there today. aromata is in the african horn afaik, so yeah. Thankfully we know Cana(Qnʾ), Sabbatha(Šbwt), and Moscha (Smhrhm/Smrm), and inscriptions from all these sites mentiom their names and the name of the kingdom of which they were part
