Aksum

WikipediaAntiquity
The African coast of the Red Sea was the domain of AksumAksum, named by the prophet Mani as one of the four key powers of the ancient world. For most of the first millennium CE, Aksumite merchants bore ivory, gold, spices and other goods from the African interior to India, Persia, and the Mediterranean. Yet these trade routes planted the seeds of Aksum’s fall – when the Arab caliphates took over the Silk Road, Aksum was isolated and fell into decline.
