Wendell Phillips—explorer, adventurer, archaeologist—recounts his four expeditions to the ancient wastelands of southern Arabia including the excavation at Beihan, site of the Kingdom of Qataban. In Yemen, he was to discover Marib, the capitol of Shebaland, and uncover the great moon temple of Awwam, only to be turned on by Arab tribesman and only just escape with his life. From there, he went on to unveil the secrets of Oman.
