Bilqis Throne-Marib-<strong>Yemen</strong>: Al-Amadi, Bilqis Throne or Bar’an Temple is a Sabaean Temple devoted to the Almaqah, the<br />
Moon God.The temple was supposedly built in the 10th Century BC at the time of Balqis, the Queen of Sheba.It had six<br />
columns 12 m in length (now there are only five columns, the sixth being broken).<br />
The history of <strong>Yemen</strong> can be traced back well into the first millennium BC with the trade routes<br />
associated with the frank incense trade and the spice route and silk routes.. In those days it was a<br />
land route trade which later expanded to sea route connecting continents.<br />
