The new book indicated that Yemenis were leaders in agriculture, domesticating animals, inventing handicrafts, erecting palaces and forts.
A number of scattered palaces in Yemen are described by the author. They were miraculously built by Yemenis.
Building palaces had come in a time where other non-Yemenis lived in cottages and small caves. Yemeni are considered to be among the first people in the world to erecting skyscrapers.
Depicting the throne of Belqees, Allah said: “I found a woman ruling over them: she has been given all things that could be possessed by any ruler of the earth, and she has a great throne,” Surat Annaml, 26.
