Yemen's Long and Complicated History

For thousands of years, Yemen has been one of the most important crossroads in the world. It was home to ancient kingdoms, the legendary land of Sheba, the port that gave mocha coffee its name, and a strategic gateway between the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean. Its mountains, tribes, empires, and divisions have shaped a history as rich as it is complicated. Learn more about the history of Yemen on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
