The Minister of Information, Culture and Tourism Muammar al-Eryani said" "Yemen has recovered (16) rare artifacts from the Republic of France, including the famous statue of the King of Qataban (Shahr Hilal) along with statues and funerary paintings that date back to various periods of ancient Yemeni civilizations, from the 2nd century BC to the 4th century AD."
