Around two hundred ancient tombs belonging to the Paleolithic period have been discovered in western Yemen.
The tombs, which were carved into the rock, contain remains of embalmed mummies,with one or more chambers depending on the number of bodies they held.
Amongst other artefacts found are earthenware utensils and weaponry, effectively preserved and placed in niches across the walls of the tombs.
The finding is an indication at the state of cultural development in the region in the prehistoric Paleolithic times, that began over 2 million years ago and ended around 8000 BC.
