 RE.\n\nIn the early 1970s\, Yemen was emerging from a long period of isola
 tion. Archaeological research gradually took off\, making it possible to r
 etrace the major stages in the evolution of the land of the Queen of Sheba
 . The monumentality of its architecture and the refinement of its arts wer
 e revealed\, along with thousands of ancient monumental inscriptions. The 
 outlines of a South Arabian civilization were gradually taking shape. Anci
 ent South Arabia has turned out to be quite different from the misleading 
 image of a desert Arabia roamed only by nomads. This land\, once known as 
 Arabia Felix\, saw the emergence of kingdoms and cities whose development 
 was the result of advanced mastery of irrigated agriculture and the lucrat
 ive trade in aromatic resins\, myrrh and frankincense. Over the past fifte
 en years\, however\, the country has gradually sunk into chaos\, and archa
 eological research has ceased altogether. Its heritage faces three major t
 hreats: looting\, ideological destruction and damage caused by a war that 
 has resulted in the destruction of museums\, archaeological and heritage s
 ites. This talk is an opportunity to present the results of forty years of
  rediscovering South Arabian civilization\, and to raise public awareness 
 of the threats to the heritage of a too often forgotten country.\n\nJéré
 mie Schiettecatte is a Visiting Research Scholar at ISAW for the 2023-24 a
 cademic year. He is a research fellow at the French National Centre for Sc
 ientific Research in Paris. He received his PhD in Archaeology of the Midd
 le East from the Sorbonne University (Paris) in 2006. He authored over sev
 enty published articles and book chapters\, and seven books including D'Ad
 en à Zafar. Villes de l'Arabie du Sud préislamique (2011)\, In the deser
 t margins: the settlement process in ancient South and East Arabia (with M
 . Mouton\, 2014)\, A stopover in the steppe. The rock carvings of ʿĀn Ja
 mal near Ḥimà (with C.J. Robin et al.\, 2023).\n\nPlease check isaw.ny
