THIS IS WAR:
Ancient temple left neglected as Yemen war threatens history. Amid bloody battles in war-torn country, experts say heritage sites at risk include Awwam Temple, linked to pre-Islamic past and to Queen of Sheba (JON GAMBRELL, AP). I would take (and the article does take) any connection with the Queen of Sheba with a grain of salt. But the temple has inscriptions in ancient South Arabian and is of considerable interest for background on pre-Islamic Arabian religion.
For many past posts on the Queen of Sheba, the legends about her, and proposed connections between her and Yemen or Ethiopia, see
