Kaminahu, Archaeological site in Al-Jawf region, Yemen.
The remains of Kaminahu extend across a substantial area at 1100 meters elevation, featuring ancient structural foundations and architectural elements from South Arabian civilization.
The city of Kaminahu experienced a significant transformation in 715 BCE when Yitha'amar Watar I of Saba conquered it and annexed the neighboring towns of Nashan and Manhiyat.
The archaeological findings at Kaminahu reveal extensive inscriptions in South Arabian script, providing valuable information about the linguistic development of ancient Yemen.
Researchers and archaeologists can access the site through established routes from Sanaa, located 107 kilometers southwest of the ancient city ruins.
The positioning of Kaminahu between Al-Hazm and Qarnawu creates a triangle of historical sites that demonstrates the urban planning patterns of ancient Arabian settlements.
