Ancient Art of South Arabia: The Himyarite Kingdom of Yemen
In most art history surveys, the civilizations of South Arabia are never mentioned, even though the rival the Mesopotamian, Greek, and Roman Empires for architectural, artistic, and technological sophistication for their time. At present however, this obscurity and general state of ignorance has helped the ongoing campaign of the Saudi-led coalition which has targeted historic Yemeni sites from 2013 through the present day as part of a war which has been decried as the worst humanitarian disaster of our century. This free lecture's aim is to spread awareness and education about the rich artistic and archaeological tradition of Yemen by including the Himyarite Kingdom for the first time among the broader narrative of ancient Art History.
