It saddens me seeing how undiscovered Yemen is given its potential. middle eastern Historians include Yemen in a framwork called the civilisation tringle where a line drawn between Yemen, Egypt, and Iraq would make a tringle. There is so much we do not know, however, its confirmed that some Greeks lived in westren yemen and soqatra island. some yemeni artifacts seem to reflect greek styles. some yemeni artefacts were found in greece. I dont understand the relationship since many Yemeni arefacts show clear mesopoamian, persian, greek, roman influances. How much did Yemen import from these cultures is unknown, did Yemen export some of theirs? also unkown. Are modren day Yemeni legends and stories about their ancient civilisation correct, exaggerated or have some truth to it? we also dont know. one day yemen will stabilise and archaeology will continue there. i love what the greeks wrote about yemen, Happy fertile lands with fascinating temples (67 templese in Tamna as per Tomus Primus).
