Barran Temple (Шаблон:Lang-ar) is a Sabaean temple near Marib, Yemen; also known as "Throne of Bilqis", it was dedicated to the god al-Maqah.
In 2023, along with other landmarks of the ancient Kingdom of Saba, the temple was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List.[1]
Background
The temple is located to the west of the Temple of Awwam, also dedicated to the god Almaqah.[2] The main features of the structure are the six columns and the sacred well in the middle of the courtyard.[3] Until the 1988 excavations only five columns were known to exist, when remains of another were discovered.[4] The temple is considered to be the largest pre-Islamic temple in Yemen.[4]
It was partly excavated by Wendell Phillips' expedition of 1951–1952.[5][6] In addition to its religious functions the complex may have also served as a documentation center, as the inscriptions describing the events surrounding the Sabaean state were found on the walls.[4]
