Stolen Rare Antiquities of Yemen are sold in Auctions within London

The US-Saudi-Emirati aggression coalition and its mercenaries and agents continue to loot Yemeni antiquities, artifacts and manuscripts. These antiquities are then sold in auction homes in the American, European and British markets.

The Yemeni researcher specializing in antiquities, Abdullah Mohsen, revealed that more than 40 gold and bronze artifacts from the ancient history of Yemen were stolen and looted by the coalition of aggression and the mercenary government will be auctioned in the British capital, London, on November 30.

Researcher Mohsen said, in a post on his personal Facebook page, that Timeline Auctions in London will display more than six thousand antiquities from around the world, including (110) Egyptian artifacts, and more than (40) gold and bronze pieces from the antiquities of Yemen. He added that the artifacts were from groups of antiquities dealers from France, Britain, Japan and Israel, most notably Shlomo Musaev.

According to activist and researcher Mohsen, among the exhibits is a camel from Yemen made of copper alloys with very complex inscriptions on one side. It goes back to the second or third century AD, and weights 104 grams, according to the auction. The camel artifact was stolen by a French group in the 80s, and a picture of it was sent to one of the best specialists in this area of antiquities to study it.

The Yemeni researcher added that the auction also displays a statue of a camel with his camels made of copper alloys from the second or first century BC, its height (8 cm) and weights (120) grams.

Mohsen pointed out that this auction company usually writes the name of the country to which the gold antiquities belong, such as Persia, Iraq and Egypt, except for Yemen. They are titles under a general name, like “West Asia Gold”, and Yemen is one of the most prominent countries in this geographical range.

He further proved his aforementioned point by saying that the gold antiquities of this type that are said to be from a “unknown state” were compared with the Yemeni gold collections in the British Museum. The result was they were identical to the gold of Yemen, which confirms that they are Yemeni artifacts.
