We journey into the world of the Sabaean Inscriptions, a collection of ancient texts from the kingdom of Saba in modern-day Yemen. These inscriptions, written in the Old South Arabian language, have puzzled scholars for years due to their unique script and the scarcity of bilingual texts for comparison. We'll explore the history of the Sabaean kingdom, the context of the inscriptions, and the ongoing attempts to fully understand them. With the help of expert cryptographers and linguistic analysts, we invite listeners to join us in this quest to decode a real-life ancient mystery.
