    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.

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.

    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.

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.

    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.)

    @matthewgillies75092 ай бұрын

    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.
