The Empire of Aksum (Axum)

The Kingdom of Aksum is notable for a number of achievements, such as its own alphabet, the Ge'ez alphabet. Under Emperor Ezana, Aksum adopted Christianity, which gave rise to the present-day Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church and Eritrean Orthodox Tewahdo Church. wealthy African civilization thrived for centuries, controlling a large territorial state and access to vast trade routes linking the Roman Empire to the Middle East and India.

We are receaving masks directly from the governament. They are not great, but it's better than having none, I guess. The Pope made a sermon yesterday It was nice of him, I suppose. He blessed the nations of the world, and stated that this benediction is not limited to christians only, but to everyone who is suffering. I do not like how the other European nations are treating us. Even our politicians openly expressed anger on the whole european situation. Our governament is also giving money back to the cities around the country, so that it is given to the families in need. But to be completely blunt. It's not enough. It's like, 34€ or something for family, it's useless. My family is fine. But I know of others who are pretty much screwed. Some people even begun to rob markets to get food. But at least I have hope for our doctors. They are very good, and they are giving their best to help The same goes for our policemen, they are trying to keep tresspassers at bay as much as they can. The governament also gave money to the workers who left their jobs. Wich is good. But they like, gave the same ammount of money bolph to those who worked legaly and those who worked illegaly. And that is not fair I am not against giving money to those who worked illegaly. But those who worked legaly deserve more, by default. I mean. Comeone... You can't reward those who worked hard and payed their taxes, in the same way as those who are literal tax evaders. It's dumb. And some politicians are actualy starting to fear a revolt of the people. That's right. A REVOLT That is how bad their decisions were. Thank goodness, the leader of my region is a competent man and is working hard to fix the situation. But it all depends on the citizens. They are the ones who need to think about their neighbours and keep themselves at bay. In times like these we should think about others, and be less selfcentered.

Your viewers might be interested in knowing that based on my research, much of the Korean vocabulary is based on Akkadian, Ge'ez, Tigrinya and Hebrew along with some words from Gafat. Even the letters of the Korean alphabetic system created in the mid 15th century by King Sejong are probably derived from early Hebrew along with the Sabean script of Ge'ez, based on my own independent research. The first European to give an account of the Korean language, Joseph Hager, noted how the syllabaries of Korean are the same as those found in "Aksumite" and Amharic; yet this topic has been so understudied. Yet, we know that languages such as Tamil and other Dravidian languages have probably been heavily influenced by Ge'ez; and it is also a fact that several important published papers have shown similarities between Dravidian languages and Korean, although it has traditionally been believed that Korean has primarily been influenced by Turkic and Tungusic languages - yet, I believe that Turkic languages have also been influenced heavily by the same Akkadian, Hebrew, and Ge'ez languages, especially as we know from the Bible that the Messianic Jewish communities mentioned in Revelation (for instance Smyrna, where Polycarp was overseer) were residing in western part of modern day Turkey, which was then called "Asia". Speaking of "Asia", it was the Aksumites who coined the name "Hatsia" which means "rulers/kings", because they sent many of their Judaic royalty to parts of Asia. Apparently, when the leaders of Aksum saw how Rome was oppressing and seeking to eradicate Jewish religion in Palestine, they decided to start empires in Southern India, where the ancestors of the Dravidian people such as Tamil-speakers lived - as well as the kingdom of Goguryo. Yes, this is one of those things that almost no history book will mention, but based on my own research, it is very likely that the founders of Goguryo were from Aksum, especially because "Goguryo" is a very frequently used phrase even today among speakers of Tigrinya, who are the heirs of the Aksumite heritage and the ones whose ancestors spoke Ge'ez. "Goguryo" means "Dig it up" or "Look it up"; and it appears to be meant to promote an ethic and governance system based on examination of the scriptures. The name of kingdom that would come to succeed Goguryo, Balhae, is probably derived from the Ge'ez word meaning "enlightened", which is Berhe. There are also many cultural similarities between Tigrayan and traditional Korean culture, many of which persist to this day. Traditionally, the commoners nearly always wore white clothing. The traditional musical styles, are very similar. The mannerisms, standards of respect, bowing culture, and many customs are very similar. I believe even Dangun, who is said to be the founder of ancient Korea, probably had a Danite mother, since Greek "gune" means "wife". During the Assyrian invasions of the 8th century, many of the Danites, along with members of the tribes of Asher, Naphtali, and Gad migrated to what is now Ethiopia, where they joined the descendants of Moses, Levites and those of the tribe of Judah who had already migrated there. I believe there will eventually be found lots of links with the tribes of Levi and Dan in particular in Korean history upon thorough examination. Another interesting factor is that if one views the official map produced in 1402 called Gangnido, it is rather obvious that Lake Tana is drawn disproportionately large while the rest of the continent of Africa pales in comparison. For me, this confirms my belief that many of those who migrated to Korea had come from the region where they spoke Ge'ez, Hebrew, Tigrinya and Gafat, all of which were spoken in ancient Aksum.

Even though you v raised many issues it seems some of it may be correct. Because we when we look deeply in to the culture and local tradition and plays we the tigrinja speaker v much similarity with chinees, korean and japanees. Our character is much similar with korean and japanes. Regarding the alphabet our alphabet is also the source of the latine,hebrew, aramaic and arabic. This has a historical facts. The present day arabian peninsula(hager) were our land before the arabs came and conquere it. The arabic it self were taken more than 85% of its words from us tigrinja(sabean). The whole quran is totaly tigrinja starting from the name mahammed, mesjid, sharia almost all the words are ours. How they get this religion has a historical reason. This fact is the same with hebrew and aramaic.

I am Tigrayan and have done some amateur research on early Ethiopia/Axum/D'mt. There needs to be more study into the early Jewish/Semitic trading communities along the red sea. Axum was likely founded as a trading city linked to the port of Massawa by semitic speaking Jews that by that point would have been fairly integrated on both sides of the red sea.

​@@HistorywithCy My last name is Exum here is some history The name Exum originated in Axum, Ethiopia, and was carried to England by traders called Axumites, was shortened to Axum and was eventually transliterated into Exum. It is a historical rareness where whites got their name from Africa. The first Exum indentured servants arrived in Jamestown, Virginia in 1666. They were eventually forced into slavery and most ended up with white slave owners with the same name. My line, that has it's roots in Edgecombe County, North Carolina, in a round about way, descended from that group. The rest is a muddled history. In my years of research and meeting Exums, I've notice a common resemblance among many us and some character traits. One thing I think might link us Exums by DNA is the prevalence of skin moles, especially on the face and neck. For almost forty years now I've been writing a book about us, but every time I'm about to put down the last period to the last sentence something else comes up and I have to back up and rewrite. One of my more notable relatives is Michael Jordan, whose mother is a descendent of my great uncle Charles, brother of Methuselah, my great grandfather. His brother Dan carried the name to California right after Emancipation. Another went to Texas, one to Tennessee, one to Ohio, and the youngest somewhere out west, maybe, Colorado.

Well. The religions of Africa still stand strong.

There are also african intellectuals who are openly against the missionaries who are still coming to convert the small comunities, since that would cause the destruction of local cultures and traditions, since they are mostly oral traditions. Now that their belief sistems evolved into coesive powers, they have a stronger chance to fight back and resist.

Great video man. Shedding the light on some important civilizations that arent that know today. I just have a question of the origins of Aksum. "Aksum was previously thought to have been founded by the Sabaeans, who spoke a language from the Semitic branch of the Afroasiatic language family." So basically the came from southern Yemen whom they invaded later. is it true?

[@HistorywithCy]

Hi, thanks for stopping by and your question. Yeah, I had read something like that, and the early history is murky, but from what understand is that it wasn't Aksum that was founded by Sabeans as much as there was a great Sabean influence in that region. There have been inscriptions in Sabean found in both modern Ethiopia and Eritrea, which were both part of the Aksumite empire, so the influence was definitely there. The relationship with Yemen and the western Arabian coast though was close since the two had been trading with each other for centuries. That's at least what I gather from my studies on the subject. Hope that this helps and if there's anything else that I can do, please let me know. Also, if there's anyone reading this who's really knowledgeable on the subject, please feel free to comment.
