Marib ( Mahram Bilqis): Remains of the Temple and the Palace of Bilquis<br />

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 />

"8and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense<br />

and myrrh"<br />
