Yemen Was Never "Discovered"—It's an Ancient Civilization

Countries aren't "discovered" like unknown islands. Yemen has been continuously inhabited for millennia:

• Sabaean, Minaean, Qatabanian, Hadramawt kingdoms (1st millennium BCE).
• Frankincense and myrrh trade hub.
• Mentioned in Bible, Quran, Greek/Roman texts.
• Islam arrived 7th century; later Zaydi imamate, Ottoman, British protectorates.
• Unified as Republic of Yemen (1990).

Yemen's history is recorded, not "discovered."
