8. history of yemen
Yemeni Sculpture from 75 BC
Yemen has long existed at the crossroads of cultures. It linked some of the oldest centres
of civilization in the Near East by virtue of its location in South Arabia.
Between the 12th century BC and the 6th century AD, it was home of the Minaean,
Sabaean, Hadhramaut, Qataban, Ausan, and Himyarite kingdoms, which controlled the
lucrative spice trade, and later came under Byzantine and Persian rule.[10]
In the 5th century AD, the Himyarite king Abu-Karib Assad converted to Judaism after
expanding his kingdom to include most of the Arabian peninsula and parts of East Africa.
Following intervention by the Byzantines and the Ethiopians, Christianity was briefly re-
established in the kingdom under the leadership of Abraha. In the 7th century, Islamic
caliphs began to exert control over the area. After this caliphate broke up, Yemen came
under the control of many dynasties who ruled part, or often all, of South Arabia Mecca and
most of Oman and even some parts of Gujarat in India during the rule of Queen Arwa al-
Sulayhi.
Imams – descendants of prophet Muhammad also known as
sayyids – ruled Yemen intermittently for 980 years, establishing
a theocratic political structure that flourished and covered at its
pinnacle all the area south of Mecca to Dhoffar in Oman and all
the way to Aden and the African coast of the Red sea, Gulf of
Aden and parts of the Indian ocean adjacent to the Arabian
Peninsula and strongly influencing and sometimes controlling
sharifs of Hejaz. It survived until modern times.

in the 19th century, Yemen was part of the Ottoman Empire (first as the

the Arabian Peninsula, bordering the Arabian Sea, Gulf of
Aden, and the Red Sea. It lies south of Saudi Arabia and
west of Oman, between latitudes 12 and 19 N and
longitudes 42 and 55 E.
A number of Red Sea islands, including the Hanish
Islands, Kamaran, and Perim, as well as Socotra in the
Arabian Sea, belong to Yemen. Many of the islands are
volcanic; for example Jabal al-Tair had a volcanic eruption
in 2007 and before that in 1883.
