- The South Arabian alphabet was developed at latest between the 12th century BC and the 6th century AD, when Yemen was successively dominated by six civilizations that controlled the lucrative spice trade: Ma'in, Qataban, Hadhramaut, Awsan, Saba, and Himyar.
- With the arrival of Islam in 630 AD, Yemen became part of the wider Muslim world, where it has remained.
