Yemen and the Ancient Incense Trade
by Ann Gunter

For more than a thousand years, from around 800 BC to 600 AD, the control of the caravan trade routes dealing predominantly in rare and valuable incense made the kingdoms of ancient Yemen, including the fabled biblical Sheba, fabulously and famously wealthy. Inside these pages is the story of the kingdoms of Qataban, Saba, Awsan, and Himyar, and of the archaeological discoveries documenting their rise and fall based on the demand for their much-sought wares.
