The state was founded earlier than many countries in the Arab region and was laid by the Arabs in the decades at the end of the 3rd century. King Shamal al-Juharish of Himyar united the kingdoms of Sabei and Hadramaut, uniting the whole of Yemen. However, due to the paucity of historical records of this mysterious empire, there are many controversies about the time of its founding and demise, and the title of the king.
8. The mysterious kingdom of Laham (295-633).
Ruled by the Lahems, the kingdom covered roughly the southern part of present-day Iran, Pakistan, and western Afghanistan. In the Arab region, the kingdom of Laham had a profound impact, especially the Hilah region, which became the cradle of the Arabic alphabet. Although its influence is huge, it is limited to the Arab region.
7. The mysterious kingdom of Vagathaga (3rd-5th century).
Originating in central and southern India, the Vagathaka Kingdom was an important kingdom that rose to prominence between the 3rd and 5th centuries. Its territory stretches from Benderkhand to the north and Hyderabad in the south. However, due to internal strife, the country disappeared into history in the second half of the 6th century.
6. The Gupta Dynasty (320-540) in its glory days
As the most important dynasty in India after the Mauryan Empire, the Gupta dynasty reached its peak in medieval India. In its heyday, it not only achieved remarkable achievements in handicrafts, but also had a profound influence on India in Sanskrit literature, painting, sculpture and architecture. However, this heyday did not last long.
5. Glorious Axum (100-940).
Axum was a powerful kingdom active in North Africa, and at its peak it encompassed a large area on both sides of the Red Sea. In the 3rd and 5th centuries, King Axum led a powerful army and even made an expedition to Yemen. As a slave state, Axum converted to the religion in the 4th century, which also contributed to the widespread spread of the religion in Europe.
4. The glorious Sassanid Dynasty (224-651 AD).
One of Old Feng's favorite dynasties, the Sassanid dynasty rose to prominence in battles with the Sabbatarian Empire and coexisted with the Roman Empire for more than 400 years. Its ruling territories include Iran, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, the Caucasus, southwestern Central Asia, parts of Turkey, parts of the Arabian Peninsula coast, the Persian Gulf region, and southwestern Pakistan. This dynasty had a profound cultural impact around the world.
3. Eastern Jin Dynasty: The era of the Sixteen Kingdoms (317-420).
The Eastern Jin Dynasty left a low presence in Chinese history, but its territory was roughly in the Jiangnan region south of the present-day Huai River. As a result of the regime's partial rule, 16 minority regimes emerged in the north, and the Northern Expedition of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was more about maintaining its own status than achieving comprehensive unification.
2. Western Jin Dynasty: A Brief Glory, an Awkward End (265-317).
The establishment of the Western Jin Dynasty marked the deposition of Emperor Cao Wei and the formation of a largely unified dynasty. However, this unification only lasted for a short period of 52 years, becoming one of the few feudal dynasties in the Central Plains that bowed to ethnic minorities. The last emperor surrendered to Han Zhao, ending a humiliating process.
1. The Western Roman Empire: The Intersection of Glory and Perdition (286-476).
In 395 AD, Theodosius I, the last emperor who unified the Roman Empire, died, dividing the Roman Empire among his two sons, officially proclaiming the ** of the Eastern and Western Roman Empires. The Western Roman Empire was powerful, but in 476, after a long period of oppression by the Huns and Germans, the last emperor Romulus II was deposed, and the Western Roman Empire came to an end.
