Synopsis
At the crossroads between Africa, Asia, and Europe, the South Arabian kingdoms were major commercial, military, and cultural players in world history. This work covers topics such as their art and architecture, and their irrigation system., At the crossroads between Africa, Asia, and Europe, the South Arabian kingdoms were major commercial, military, and cultural players in world history. They controlled the sea route from Rome and Egypt to Africa and Asia and had a monopoly on the production and trade of frankincense and myrrh; religious ceremonies in the major ancient empires such as Greece, Rome, Byzantium, and Persia depended on the availability of myrrh from South Arabia. Their art and architecture, and especially their irrigation system, featuring a gigantic dam high in the mountains, gave witness to a fascinating civilization, the mythic and historical dimensions of which have captured our collective imaginations. Even their eventual decline was dramatic. When the famous dam was damaged in the 5th century, twenty thousand workers were employed to repair it. The Ethiopian Empire of Axum, originally a colony of Saba (Sheba), adopted Christianity, crossed the Red Sea, and fought bitter wars against the powerful Jewish kings of South Arabia. Exhausted from wars, South Arabia was ready to be taken by the new force of Islam., At a crossroads between Africa, Asia, and Europe, the South Arabian kingdoms were major commercial and cultural players in world history. Their art and architecture, and especially their irrigation system, featuring a gigantic dam high in the mountains, give witness to a fascinating civilization, the myth and historical dimensions of which have captured our collective imaginations. The author, who participated in several archaeological excavations in Southern Arabia, provides a concise history of the kingdoms from the 10th century B.C.E. to the 7th century C.E. European reviewers of the German edition praised especially his elaboration on the social structures of the kingdoms, their economy and trade, geography, languages, scripture, military and religion.

    This hardback book is of the highest quality, has a fine appearance , arrived in perfect condition, and is an excellent value. On what I was not asked about this time, communicating with the seller would have required using email outside of the eBay system, because they do not accept eBay messages, the book was well packed in a purpose-designed cardboard box, the shipping was faster than I expected for the bound media rate, and the book was exactly as described and pictured.
