The Cultural Heritage of Yeha by Jarek Pokrzywnicki

The Cultural Heritage of Yeha comprises the ruins of the Great Temple and the Palace from the 1st millennium BC. The Temple is the oldest surviving structure in sub-Saharan Africa. It was built in the Sabaean style from South Arabia, which shows the exchange of ideas between both regions at the time. It belonged to a centralized state that was a predecessor to the Axumite Kingdom. The landscape also holds two groups of rockcut tombs from the same era.
