Aksum is the name of a powerful, urban Iron Age Kingdom in Ethiopia, that flourished in the centuries before and after the time of Christ. It location made it prosper because the surrounding nations were so underdeveloped.
Aksum's strategic location at the crossroads of trade routes connecting the Mediterranean, the Arabian Peninsula, and sub-Saharan Africa facilitated its growth into a wealthy city. Its access to the Red Sea enabled maritime trade, allowing the import and export of valuable goods such as ivory, gold, and spices. Additionally, Aksum's position as a hub for caravan trade helped it to become a central marketplace, attracting merchants and fostering economic prosperity. This advantageous location ultimately contributed to Aksum's status as a powerful and influential kingdom in ancient times.
Aksum is believed to have conquered the Kingdom of Kush around the 4th century AD. This expansion was part of Aksum's rise as a powerful trading empire in the region, which included parts of modern-day Ethiopia and Sudan. The conquest of Kush allowed Aksum to control key trade routes and resources.
