I am surprised you people didn't do a "MEDIEVAL DISEASES" video that doubled as a poorly disguised ad for CK3's newest Glorified Event Pack/DLC

@kingsandgenerals i hope you guys can do Axumite empire video, ghana empire and Ajuuran Sultanate next
Not going to lie, I found out about the Himyars due to Attila Total War, but I love(d) playing as them; and have been waiting for content for this region. Thank you for taking that opportunity with this video!
Me too
I was going to say the same haha. The negative public opinion due to religion made it a bit boring
A lot of my foundational history was from games [Falcon 4.0, Red Alert, Age of Mythology, Civilization, Total War].. I love interactive education.
Me too
Ahh! A man of culture
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.
I think Fortunate or Blessed Arabia makes more sense. But yea one of the oasis of southern Arabia
Most of the peninsula was uninhabitable due to the harsh climate until modern technology made it possible to live there.. before that it was mostly uninhabited in the central region except for afew oasis towns and nomadic tribes wandering around.
Yep and the worst country between its neighbours
Man ancient South Arabia is slept on. I'm glad to see you cover Himyar.
For what it's worth, I spent some time in Yemen. Hands down the nicest and kindest people I have met. It's a crime what's happened to that country.
Were you able to visit socotra?
You are always welcome in my country Yemen ❤️
in Morocco I had an irish teacher who always used to talk about his stay and teaching in Yemen, how respectful and quiet they are in class the total oposite of us little shitheads.
In Sufism Yemen has greatest history, it shows what wahabism and shite are capable to destroy any country

Interesting fact about yeman:
1-Oldest dam in the world called marib dam located in yeman
2-The kingdom of awsan had limited control in small lands in India and Egypt and it had foreign relation with ancient Greece
3-Shibam a city located in hadramuot is often called "the oldest skyscraper city in the world
4-coffee ☕ is originated from yeman
Cofee oriented in southern Ethiopia. But the Yemeni merchants were the ones who introduced coffee to the rest of the world.
@@momo-cchi5978 no there is no evidence that ☕ originated in Ethiopia
He is correct. Coffee indeed originated from Ethiopia, then Yemeni merchants distribute it to the world, and by the way, I'm from Shibam, Hadramout and a trader in coffee. @desfighter
@@momo-cchi5978no, the coffee BEANS came from ethiopia but the coffee DRINK came from yemen. important distinction.
@@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.
From Yemen and I'm a big fan of your channel. I wrote a comment before five years ago that we need a videos of Kingdome of Himyar. Thank you for your marvelous efforts.
Hello there, I'm doing a research through my studies on Yemen, the current conflict, the rich background of it and the possible outcomes, and am wondering if you would be interested in contributing, as I'm having trouble with first hand sources.

YES! Oh you dont know how ive waited for Himyar content. Absolutely one of the most fascinating civilizations of antiquity, and certainly of the Pre-Islamic Arabian Peninsula
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.
@@safuwanfauzi5014north Europeans rule Israel today.
As a Yemeni who has been following this channel since the days it was voiced by a guy with a Turkish accent, loving the new content on both modern and now ancient history of Yemen. Thank you K&G!
Yemeni are amazing. Always on the side of Palestinian!
Lol it sounds like you meant "Caspian Reports"
May God bless the people of Yemen and their offspring ❤️
I thought macrobian was a term for Somalis??
Woah, content on preislamic Arabian peninsula, that's something rare on CZcams. I'm grateful for this entry 😃
@@nedsteven4622 generally, larger kingdoms and empires cared to keep records, much early history has been carefully pieced together over time, or records were lost due to war and fire
@@ruskyalmond1977pre hindu india is a tough one. You can definitely draw a pre vedic line, and point to certain traditions possibly merging into modern Hinduism from separate sources (i see that claimed for shakti a lot). As far as we know some form of hinduism goes at minimum back to the dawn of literacy and recorded history in India
Some records on pre-Christian Europe remained though
czcams.com/video/b56eAUCTLok/video.htmlsi=dJN3tuW6jmEoTdeF
@@ruskyalmond1977Hinduism is the original true religion of the South Asian subcontinent actually, although it's sources are 4k-5k old at best. It has both Aryan, Dravidian and Sino-tibetan influences, the Dravidian influences come from the Indus valley civilization and are still present in modern Hinduism.
@ruskyalmond1977 Hinduism is a very flexible religion that doesn't have one single starting point. It adopts to new beliefs and practices as time goes on. Hinduism is basically the local cultures beliefs rituals practices and traditions practiced by the people of India. So whatever the beliefs and practices of early farmers in neolithic India was that was Hinduism of that time
Nice to see the Himyari kingdom get a video from this channel, my tribe is descendant from Himyar and is one of the oldest recorded Arab tribes in the world. Banu Yafa’ يافع

First heard about this kingdom through Attila Total War. Then I learned about the ancient Marib Dam. Fascinating kingdom and region
It is always good to know more about the forgotten kingdoms of the past.
Ancient Yemen is without a doubt one of the most interesting regions in the world's history. Thank you for taking an interest in it, and hopefully this won't be your last video about pre-islamic Yemen.
Seeing Axum makes me really want a video about them from you guys. Great vid!
their territory extended more than what the video shows.
@@jhonywalker1168 way more
@@jhonywalker1168 That is one thing that was unsettling
We want Kings and Generals to cover the Aksumite empire
Another Ancient Yemeni realm that you can cover is the Sabaean Kingdom, the Queen of Sheba's place of origin
Yes! I love our ancient Queens!!!
Queen of Sheba was Ethiopian, we have the historical lineage with various historical sites still standing today.
This is without a doubt one of the best channels on CZcams. So informative, so incredibly well edited, super interesting etc etc.
Love it! Keep up the amazing work!
I am always excited when K&J drops new videos ❤
Every time you make a video about history in Wests, North, or East Afica, or in West, Central, or South Asia, I always get so giddy to watch it! Thank you for this! Hopefully one day we get a video on the history of Somalia!
Yes indeed!!!! 😊😊 the Ajuran Sultanate & the Geledi are SO SLEPT ONNN!!
Yeah, I want to see a video about the Land of Punt
We really don't know much about them, you certainly don't shy away from hard topics! This was a pretty good video.
The Himyar Kingdom was a powerful kingdom, and there are southern Musnad writings in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and in the Sultanate of Oman. It was a powerful kingdom in its time and controlled trade routes. Thank you for the information.
Another amazing video from the K&G team, and all of this was brand new to me 😎 Awesome work as you have Always done, you guys.
Kings and generals is undefeated! Whatever system you guys have come up with is working for me lol the mix of long form content on subjects like Alexander & the early Muslim expansions plus gems like this video are why we all come back again & again! Beats the heck out of any mainstream Tv show. MUCH RESPECT
I spent the summer of 2000 in Yemen. It was truly fascinating. It was like a whole different world.
You are welcome back any time. There are truly few places on this Earth like it
I really want to return to visit but, unfortunately, the current civil war and that there U.S. doesn't have an embassy or consulate there currently negates my ability to do so at this time.
Great video keep it up you're doing amazing things 😁👍😊
As a Bulgarian feeling blessed to be living in Kings&Generals epoch of time
Kudos to you sir!👏🏼👏🏼 This is the first tim that I encounter a content that speaks about a piece a of history of my homeland 👍🏼
The maps and animations are outstanding as usual.
Playing as Saba on Rome 2 now.. this is exactly what I needed playing in the background
Discovering more about least known areas that are overlooked by more known things around it really is fun and educational at the same time, am definitely passing the history exams
Wow, this is top quality historical content 🫨
I appreciate your time and efforts
Abraha is a deep historical figure in Islamic tradition. He has been said to invade Mecca with an elephant army.
so it's not historical but fictional. There is no one quran, and many of them, all dated later than 833+AD. Meecca didn't even exist till 706 AD.Sources 900 AD about things in 300 AD it' like me writting about WHat Columbus ate on breakfast, and how many unicorns he met in America...

Thank you friends.
So there is a very long history of Iranian proxys in yemen. Damn.
Lol
Your mini-documentaries that cover a historical state or people group are the best. Thank you so much. Is there any way you guys could cover the Jewish diaspora, especially in the former Russian Empire?
Fun fact: the King Abraha is mentioned in the Qur'an. He was immortalized due to his fatally failed invasion of Mecca

Excellent informative video.
I can always appreciate a look into a little remember kingdom, time, place or subject. And this was an interesting one for sure.
Please consider making a video about Punt (probably a Proto-Somali Kingdom) that existed in current-day Eritrea and Somalia
Thank you, and I offer my readiness to provide you with the sources of information necessary to make any documentary of your own that talks about the history of Yemen. Thank you very much. People must know the great history of Yemen.
You make my day❤
13:24 Correction: Najran is not a coastal city, that’s JAIZAN, another city in the region not the same.
كلامك صحيح تحياتي لك من حضـرموت
Thanks for these posts on places and times that are obscyre at present, but were once significant in their time.
u should also cover the Nabateans, they’re also very important classical regional power
True the nabateans script evolved to the moden arabic script
@@user-lx1ez6tf9rearly nabatean script was the yemeni musnad before the Syrian one.
Thank you so much. Your video matches what's in 'el bidaya wa el hihaya 'البداية والنهاية of imam ibn khathir and tarikh el Tabari' تاريخ الطبري of imam el Tabari.
as a tigrean , i would be honoured if u could do an axumite and pre axumite video, hopefully soon 🤞
Axum is ethiopia and eritrea. Not 'Banda tigrayans" who are the poorest and dustiest people on earth. LOL😆
Great video on a topic I know almost nothing about. Thanks.
What is "1001 Bell Button Nights" and who is David al-Cannadiani? I can't find any information about either.
A beautiful and useful video clip, but I want to point out an error that appeared in it. I am an Arab from the south of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and I know the region well. Najran is not a coastal city, but rather a desert city located in northern Yemen and southern Saudi Arabia at the present time. Perhaps this is due to your confusion between it and its sister city. Coastal Jazan.
Certain underspoken parts of history like this are the most fascinating.
Thank you for this content, im a Yemeni and looking forward for other videos for our Arabian peninsula, 🇾🇪🇦🇪🇧🇭🇰🇼🇶🇦🇴🇲🇸🇦
Absolutely fantastic to learn something completely different from the usual.
You know it's really interesting learning about pre-islamic Arabia because it's so backward to the stereotypes people have towards Arabia
Excellent video as always, also adding that little bit about Nathan Drake made me smile, thank you.
I was very confused
Very informative❤
I'm from Yemen "Taiz", my sequences history of our family is back to Himyarite tribes... when I was child, l find alot of very old coins in mountains.
I remember one of it and searched about it. It is about Matokalia Kingdom. And l find alot but I can't remember it exactly.
But I pay it for sweater's man to give me sweat😁😁.
I bring you alot of my love 😘😘
Continue oh lion😍
Thank you once again!!
Arp dä schaufel öp dä twut ye?
Thanks for the video
That's a great one! I was always intrigued by them when I encountered them in Attila.
Remember reading about the Himyars and finding their small empire pretty fascinating
Kingdom of Sheba: You mean my traitorous cousins who did not help me. The stability of the kingdom when the dam collapsed is the fight against the Roman invaders.
Thank you for an interesting explanation of one of the little known bits of history.
I love you guys, from a Yemeni who is in love with History... ❤
Himyarites are the ones who developed the script and the English Alphabet of today. Yemen and Arabia in general are the cradle of Humanity. To this day people in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia know a graveyard by the name of: Our Mother Eve's tomb. Yemen's stories and secrets haven't been told yet. With more research and excavations humanity will stand in awe!
Since you guys did a video on Yemen, I’d love to learn more about its neighbor Oman and the Islamic sect of Ibadi unique to the region
Love this coincidence as I was doing a bit of Research on Himyar.
Since you mentioned about Yemen, it would be also worth mentioning about the period of Queen Arwa, and before her Queen Sheba (Saba'a)
Medo Hamdani
Yes please! I love our ancient Queens
When you mention Yemen in our present time and in the history of Yemen, you find that it has been a friend of Iran since ancient times. I am from Yemen and I love Iran 🇾🇪♥️🇮🇷
Could you do more ancient/medieval geopolitics and trade? I loved the maps in the 12th century and Jacob Fugger videos.
Beautiful. Thank you
First time i know Himyar it was in the game. Its called TOTAL WAR ATTILA. I played as the Sassanid empire. I nearly comquer the entire middle east but the Himyar faction was quite difficult to beat. Their elite foot soldier and cavalry is too strong
Great video, however you wrongly mentioned that the city of najran (now located in southern Saudi Arabia near Yemen border) is a coastal city when it is not, you can check on maps and it’s quite far from the coast.
13:33 The story of the Himyarite invasion and martyriology of the Najran christians is actually still mentioned in Quranic text.
The 85th chapter mentions a story of a ditch dug and set on fire in which the christians were pushed into for not rejecting their faith in God.
Interestingly, the story of Abraha, is instead mentioned in the Quran in a negative context as his attempted invasion of Mecca is seen to have angered God. The story is mentioned in the 105th chapter of the Quran.
It's interesting to see christian martyriology integrated within Quranic text while still holding a red line on the sanctity of Mecca, since Abraha was a christian and his invasion is said to have been prompted by him wanting to divert pilgrimage from Mecca by destroying the Ka'aba (this is the story that Islamic historians agree on, but I have also read it mentioned in pre-islamic sources as the person who guided Abraha to Mecca would later become infamous enough that it became a pre-islamic custom to stone his grave periodically. This was abolished by Islam, however, so the story itself is of pre-islamic origin.)
“Yemen was a bottleneck for international trade”… ya we know still is 🤦♂️
Middle eastern history is so fascinating. Rich cultural and historical stories. More please!

A fascinating kingdom I knew nothing about, in a region I thought semi unhinabited before islam. In general I look for more in depth knowledge of history I already know on K&G: when I actually find an unknown chapter of history to me the video becomes an instant hidden gem. Well done guys!
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.
We are one people even pre Islam
@@Weappreciatevaluablecontent One people with many tribes and varying lifestyles and faiths. Which is exactly what I said.

@@filmont9383Honestly, when Zeus was on his trip in the Middle East, he went to Ethiopia and found an Ethiopian princess. His skin was white and she was beautiful, so he admired her and took him to Greece.

Who wouldn't want to go back in time just to see just who this 'Rahmanan/Ilahan' really was? It's one of the things that makes the history of Yemen such a cool topic to investigate.
Please also make a video about origins and history of the Nabataean Kingdom.
Great works by Kings and Generals
If you guys can make videos about origin of Mecca, that would be great.
Ismael and his mother was the first people there, and Ismael and Abraham built the first mosque there , kaaba 🕋 was a mosque of Abraham and Ismael
Can you make a video on the Rassid Dynasty in Yemen, which is unique in that it lasted from 897AD-1962AD with some hiatuses?
your probly the only western chanel to talke about my poeple and our history
Thanks!
To add a fact the Najranite Christians massacre mentioned in the Quran as 'Martyrs of the ditch' they got burned a live. till this day the place still exist in Saudi Arabia
The fact that I'm a descendant of the last king of himyar is blowing my mind, i was told that by my father but never believed him. There's books written about the tribe of Bornu in Africa and who they descended from and it talks about us being descendants from this sayf ibn yazad and it did talk about them being pre-islmaic.
Video about Aksum please
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
Thank you for awesome content 😁
Beautiful video 📹
Ancient Yemen' s greatest time was in B.C. when they produced and traded in frankincense.
They had a cartel.
They even defeated an invading Roman Army.
Yep, to be fair the yemeni Jewish tribes had the romans lost in route on purpose, they supportedthe Jewish King. Also the romans did destroy the Jewish temple and galus himself came and lead the romans but he got tired and sailed back to rome after bring stuck 6months in yemen lol.
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.
Can you please provide a source for the book “1001 Bell Button Nights” or the author David Al-Cannadiani? I can’t find either the book or the author at all in the internet…
15:36 MAJOR mistake, Abraha was Aksumite, not Middle Eastern! You portray him as Arab when he wasn't

@@user-fl5mq9kp7g Not the main 13 Jewish tribes. Because the Jews in Yathrib for generations live with the Arabs, so they adopt some of the culture, including naming the sub tribe. So this is 3 sub tribes of 1 of the Jewish tribe
