Question

Why was the port of Adulis so important?

Group of answer choices

It provided the best farming

Gave access to the Mediterranean Sea and Indian Ocean

It isolated them from the rest of the continent

It crossed the Red Sea and Arabian Peninsula

Answer 1

Answer:

Control of Adulis allowed Axum to be the major power on the Red Sea. This port was the principal staging area for Kaleb's invasion of the Himyarite kingdom of Dhu Nuwas around 520. ... In any case, the sea power of Axum waned and security for the Red Sea fell on other shoulders.
