课程名称：南阿拉伯的古代艺术：也门的希米亚王国 课程概述：在大多数艺术史调查中，南阿拉伯文明，尤其是也门，往往鲜有提及，尽管它们对古代世界的丰富贡献不可忽视。希米亚王国、萨巴王国和卡塔巴尼亚等文明在建筑、艺术和技术的复杂程度上，与美索不达米亚、希腊和罗马帝国相抗衡。这些南阿拉伯社会以其纪念性建筑而闻名，例如马里卜水坝，以及复杂的艺术品，包括石膏雕塑和精美的金属工艺，这些都体现了高度的工艺水平和与其他古代文明的文化交流。 然而，悲剧性的是，它们在现代艺术历史叙述中的模糊地位导致了对也门丰富文化遗产的持续忽视。自2013年以来，由沙特主导的军事行动针对也门重要的历史遗址，使这一被广泛认为是本世纪最严重人道主义灾难的战争更加恶化。这些无可替代的纪念碑的毁灭，威胁着抹去人类历史上的一个重要篇章。 本讲座旨在通过传播关于也门艺术和考古传统的知识，反击这种忽视，以便为希米亚王国及其邻国在更广泛的古代艺术历史叙述中争取应有的位置。通过突出这些较少被提及的文化，讲座力求教育和激励人们为保护和珍视也门不可估量的文化遗产而努力。
In most art history surveys, the civilizations of South Arabia, particularly Yemen, are rarely mentioned despite their rich contributions to the ancient world. Civilizations like the Himyarite Kingdom, the Sabaeans, and the Qatabanians rivaled the Mesopotamian, Greek, and Roman Empires in architectural, artistic, and technological sophistication. These South Arabian societies were renowned for their monumental architecture, such as the Marib Dam, and intricate artworks, including alabaster sculptures and fine metalwork, which illustrate a high degree of craftsmanship and cultural exchange with other ancient civilizations.However, the tragic irony is that their obscurity in modern art historical narratives has contributed to the continued neglect of Yemen's rich cultural heritage. Since 2013, the Saudi-led coalition's military campaign has targeted significant historic Yemeni sites, adding to the ongoing devastation in a war widely recognized as one of the worst humanitarian disasters of our century. The destruction of these irreplaceable monuments threatens to erase a crucial chapter of human history.This lecture seeks to counteract that neglect by spreading awareness about Yemen's artistic and archaeological traditions, giving the Himyarite Kingdom and its neighbors their rightful place in the broader narrative of ancient art history. By highlighting these underrepresented cultures, the lecture aims to educate and inspire efforts toward the preservation and appreciation of Yemen's invaluable cultural heritage.
