Lands of the Queen of Sheba [Kingdom Saba] (11500 BC- ancient Civilzations on Display) S02E01

Hello Everybody,

with a slightly different order and few month delay I happy to finally start now with Season 2 of 11500 BC- ancient Civilzations on Display series.

In Season 2 Episode 1, I am introducing you the Lands of the Queen of Sheba.
Currently reconstructing/rebuilding the ancient site of Marib.

Ma'rib

History

Main article: Sabaeans
The Sabaean kingdom was located in what is now Marib in northern Yemen. The Sabaean kings made their capital at Ma'rib, and built great irrigation works such as the Ma'rib dams, whose ruins are still visible. The Marib Dam supported a flourishing culture for more than a thousand years; its collapse in 575 CE, before the birth of Muhammad, may be one of the main reasons that Arabia did not become Christian.[3] They also built castles and temples in the area, and were known for trading the valuable frankincense[1] and myrrh.[4] They were a seafaring people and were known to have influence and a population in the Northeast African kingdom of Dʿmt, across the Red Sea in Eritrea and Ethiopia, the only other source of both frankincense and myrrh.

In 25 B.C., Aelius Gallus led "an expedition to Ma'rib (Yemen)."[5]


As for many projects on the season 2 informations are often wake of how the actual buildings looked like therefore I will then only present todays status quo but if there is a feasible chance to make a reconstruction I will probably go for it.

One of the First builds in this Episode is the Throne of Queen Sheba (also Bilquis Throne)

Bilquis Throne
What is known today as the Bilquis Throne, is mentioned in scriptions as Barran Temple the home of the Goddess Almaqa'(Moon),the inscriptions also mention Dhat Hameem (Sun) and Athter (Blossom). The results of the German expedition show that the Temple went through two historical stages, the first stage extending from the 2nd Millennium BC to the beginning of the 1st Millennium BC, and the second stage starting from 850 BC to the end of the Sabean dynasty. The Temple is aquara in shape with an open courtysrd opposite the most holy area of the six columns’. The Sacred Well and its annexes are located in the center of the courtyard. There is a rectangular stone basin which receives water from a fountain, the head of the Holy Oxen. There are twelve steps which connect the open hall to the holy area, with walls surrounding the open courtyard from south, west and northerly directions. There is also a row of fixed marble chairs in the western side. In the rear yard of the holy area was a 6m high statue of the Holy Oxen mounted on six legs, 4m in length. The six columns’ are supported by fixed stone foundations. The sacred courtyard is encircled by a brick fence which has five towers, there of them are in the western side. The main gate of the Temple is located in the northern side.
