This is great- and I'd love to be in it.

I hope I get to live in New Hampshire.

It's back! It's back! I hope you remembered my name!!

Well damn, guys, I forgot about this.  I've been writing Aksum related stuff.  But this would be a nice change.  Maybe I'll post an update.

Aksum? Do tell me more.

Aksum!  The Ethiopian Empire that dominated Red Sea trade from around the time of Christ until the Dark Ages, and created a powerful civilization which would go on to resist all colonial encroachment.

There's so much to talk about, I'm not quite sure where to start.  You could read the wikipedia article but it's piss poor, to be nice.  This book by Munro-Hay is the best overview of Aksum I have found on the internet.  I'm writing a history on Aksum which will hopefully be easier to read and more in-depth when it comes specifically to history, but finding good, up to date sources has been a struggle.

But yeah, if there's anything specific you want to know, just ask me.  Aksum is my pet history subject, so hopefully I will have an answer

Oh, I know all about Axum... don't forget I'm half Ethiopian! I was wondering what you doing that was related to it.
