The Kingdom of Aksum was listed as one of the four great powers of the ancient world alongside Rome, Persia, and China. This African empire minted its own coins, developed the Ge'ez writing system, and controlled major trade routes between three continents. Their gold coins circulated from the Mediterranean to the Indian Ocean. The historical evidence is documented. The archaeological record is clear. So why is this missing from most history textbooks? #KingdomOfAksum #AncientHistory #Aksum #Eth
