Fencing of the Uwam Temple and Archaeological Sites in
#Ma'rib!Saba News Agency reported a statement from a member of the Presidential Leadership Council and Governor of Ma'rib, saying: "The local authority in Ma'rib Governorate is preparing to launch a project to fence the archaeological sites in the governorate, after completing the provision of the necessary materials."This news represents a ray of hope for us and for
#Yemen_Heritage, and it is a positive step for which they deserve thanks, with hopes that the project will be implemented as soon as possible.Before proceeding with implementation, it is essential for the branch of the General Organization for Antiquities and Museums to conduct a comprehensive technical assessment of the condition of the Uwam Temple, inventory the damages, and document the destroyed and/or looted pieces, in preparation for taking the necessary measures to protect and recover them.I see in this project a culmination of the tireless efforts of a large number of researchers and activists over the past period, who worked relentlessly to pressure for practical steps to protect the archaeological sites.I thank everyone who engaged—friends, followers, Arab newspapers and channels, and local press outlets—in the campaign to protect the remote
#Uwam site. And I especially thank my dear friend Dr. Mohammed Jumeh Mohammed Jumeh for his tremendous efforts on this file and others related to antiquities and their recovery.Good morning,,

Yemeni researcher Abdullah Mohsen reported that the Specialized Criminal Court in the capital secretariat ruled to hand over an archaeological inscription that had been looted previously from the Sarwah Antiquities Storehouse, which had been subjected to an almost complete looting operation as part of the attacks that targeted Yemeni heritage sites.Mohsen explained that the inscription, along with another archaeological piece, was found among the possessions of one of the shops in the Muhadada Market in Old Sana'a, following the fire that broke out in the market due to an explosion resulting from an electrical short circuit in April 2024 AD, emphasizing the importance of this step in protecting and recovering Yemen's looted antiquities.
