Episode 5 – The Rise of Aksum
Badawi explores the history of the ancient kingdom of Axum. Despite existing hundreds of years before the dawn of Christianity, it is most often associated with the Christian religion as it was the first African kingdom to adopt the new religion as early at the 4th century C.E. It was also the home of the biblical Queen of Sheba.
