    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."

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

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

      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

    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.

    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
      @KnowHistory  Před rokem +9

      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.
