Incense was the principaI source of the weaIth and power of the three ancient kingdoms of Saba, Qataban and Hadramawt which now form Yemen.
This documentary travels through the country's dramatic landscape, visiting important points on the route once traveIled by the caravans that carried the precious resin to market. It reveaIs what is known of Yemen's distant past and gIimpses present day Iife there, which remains largeIy untrammeled by the trappings of the modern worId.
Featuring historic fiIm shot during WendeII PhiIIips' 1950 expedition and footage of the collection housed in the museum in Sana'a, this documentary is a fascinating insight into a long-gone civiIization and offers a tantalizing prospect that the Queen of Sheba's place in history may, one day, be estabIished. |
