At least 100 artifacts from Yemen have been successfully sold at auction for an estimated
$1 million in the U.S., Europe and the United Arab Emirates since 2011, according to a Live Science investigation into the country’s so-called “blood antiquities.”
The artifacts include ancient inscriptions, statues, coins and manuscripts from the Middle
Ages, Live Science found after analyzing auction records.
Yemen has a rich history with numerous archaeological remains dating back many
millennia. Museums and some archaeological sites have been looted during the ongoing
civil war. A Live Science investigation recently revealed the trade in Yemen's artifacts.
