The debate over the fate of Yemen's smuggled heritage has reignited after an archaeology expert uncovered a rare artifact from Marib—a Sabaean stone throne displayed at the Champollion Museum in France. The throne, made of limestone, dates back to the early Sabaean period and measures approximately 99 × 59 × 49 centimeters. It is believed to originate from Wadi Raghwan in Marib. Its display raises questions about how the piece left Yemen and whether it possesses official documentation to confirm the legality of its export, especially since Yemen's illegal looting and trafficking operations are accused of smuggling many artifacts. The focus of the analysis is on the need to trace ownership records and transportation documents from the moment the throne left Yemen, in order to determine the legalities surrounding its export and the possibility of its reclaiming. This effort is part of ongoing initiatives to protect Yemen’s heritage from illicit looting that damages the history of the Sabaean civilization.
