Archaeologists find statue of ancient Yemeni queen

A Yemeni archaeologist team has discovered a mosaic statue of an ancient queen sitting on a throne with her chest engraved with Musnad letters.

The archaeologists also found other relics including a stone board with faith signs engraved on it.

“Two pulls separated by a tree were carved on the stone board, a symbol that was known as “Life’s Tree” in ancient Yemeni civilization,” said Ali al-Sanabani, director of the authority.

Other symbols like crescent were imprinted on the disocvered relics.

The discoveries were revealed during excavations at a site in Dhamar province, where the team found buildings that were used to give sacrifices.

According to Al-Sanabani, the site is a trace of the Yatrib city of the Sheba civilization. (ANI)
