In the past fifty years, several foreign archaeological expeditions have sought to discover more about Yemen’s enigmatic past and the Yemenites themselves are now endeavoring to repossess their heritage. The Sabaen kingdom, which was believed to be the biblical land of the Queen Sheba, whom existence is still debated by historians. Nevertheless in the Yemeni desert lies the remains of ancient Marib, the site of the capital od the ancient kingdom of Saba, who flourished in the VIIIth century B.C. Saba was a powerful empire thanks to its successful water management and its trade. In the 1950s, the americain archeologue Wendell Phillips excavated with its team sites around Marib, including two prestigious temple: Awwam, and Bar’an, a temple dedicated to the moon god Almaqah. But this largely desert country has been reluctant to yield up its treasures. Several excavation sites which have had to be abandoned have rapidly become covered over once more by sand.
