-
Sirwah An oval temple of Almaqah with a royal inscription of about 715 BCE, and a claim that Sirwah was Saba’s capital before Marib that the excavations do not confirm.
-
Marib Dam The sluices of the Marib Dam, the hydraulic heart of Saba, with an early date that is a sediment sum and a queen the inscriptions do not name.
Considered, and not given a room
A room is for a place with a real open question and enough published evidence to weigh both sides. These were looked at and left as notes, so they are not invisible.
- The Awam temple at Marib, an oval enclosure whose wall was once about thirteen metres high, is one of the sanctuaries of Saba beside the dam. A Bilqis name is attached to Awam and to the Bar'an temple. The heritage evaluation calls that attachment a later projection, and it says the queen of Sheba is not historically attested. The dam’s age is the room. The temples are the same kingdom. ICOMOS evaluation.
