Can my historybros guess all 4 of these eastern kingdoms and empires? (6 century CE)

@aah31415 can you guess them all?

Probably canโ€™t guess them all but I might try still

The purple one is Persia
The red one might be Byzantium/East Rome, though not 100% sure since it has Cs in the corners and not Bs
The green-yellow-red is probably some state in modern day Ethiopia, perhaps Amhara (since iirc they were the most christian ones)?
No idea what the red-white-black one is, perhaps itโ€™s that one nomadic group that inhabited the southern caucasian lowlands and had a religion based off of judaism?

The purple one is indeed Persia.
The red one is Byzantium.
The Green-Yellow-Red is Axum, it was a kingdom in Ethiopia that was allied with the Byzantine Empire.
The red-white-black one is Himyar, a Jewish kingdom in Yemen that fell to the Aksumites shortly after it was established.

Yeah the first couple of centuries after the Roman Empire collapsed was kind of weird.

There was a war or two that was fought that had Greeks, Armenians and Ethiopians on one side and Iranians and Jewish Yemenis on one side.

I suppose this period might be so fascinating since we donโ€™t really hear much about it usuallyโ€ฆ

Itโ€™s caste under the โ€œdark agesโ€ so basically no one cares about it and everyone skips the weird in between bit from the fall of the Roman empire to the high medieval age.

I wonder how many flags existed across history? Does the concept of flags exist in most cultures?

Probably dozens of thousands considering counties and stuff can still do have flags, not to mention the amount of counties and territories across history

Even many towns have their own flags!

Also coats of arms exist in similar quantities
