올드 사나에서 나의 마지막 목적지는 모스크다. 하지만 무슬림이 아닌 사람은 출입금지. 하는 수 없이 먼발치서 모스크를 바라봐야 했다. 올드 사나에는 대모스크라 불리는 알 케비르 모스크를 비롯해 모두 100개가 넘는 모스크가 있다. 예멘은 이슬람교가 가장 먼저 전파되고 번성한 곳 중의 하나다. 사람들은 하루에 다섯 번씩 어김없이 이 모스크에 와서 메카를 향해 알라신께 감사하며 그들의 행복을 기원한다. 수백 개가 넘는 모스크의 스피커에서 일제히 저녁 기도를 알리는 무에진 소리가 사이렌처럼 울려 퍼진다. 사나의 하루가 저물어간다.

The Great Mosque in Sana'a City, Yemen
about The Great Mosque in Sana'a City, Yemen
Sanaa's Great Mosque welcomes the faithful during Ramadan
LEADIN
During Ramadan worshippers have been flooding to the Great Mosque of Sanaa to pray.
It's a UNESCO site and has been undergoing extensive but discrete repairs to bring the seventh century AD monument back to its former glory.
STORYLINE:
A call to prayer heard across the Sanaa skyline.
While conflict threatens various parts of Yemen, there's comparative calm here.
It looks like time has stood still in the 2,500 year old city.
This is the Great Mosque of Sanaa.
Yemen's devout come to one of Islam's oldest mosques to perform their daily prayers during this holy month.
The Great Mosque is considered one of the most important monuments in Yemen, with parts of the structure said to date back to the time of the Prophet Mohammed.
It's believed the Prophet Mohamed sent one of his companions to King Bazan, then king of Yemen, who converted to Islam and started the construction of the mosque.
Historian Abdullah Al Alfy says the monument was built during the seventh century AD, The Great Mosque is one of the historic monuments of Yemen, the Prophet (peace be upon him) ordered the construction of the mosque when he told Aws Ibn Yakhnas Al Ansary (a tribal leader and a muslim convert) to build them a mosque and direct it to the Dayn mountain and locate it between the stone and the castle.
The government has struggled to finance the upkeep of the mosque, damaged by natural disasters like floods and heavy rains, as well as vandalism and political conflicts.
UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation) named the old city of Sanaa a World Heritage Site in 1985 and enabled a project implemented by the Social Fund for Development (SFD) in Yemen with government representation to concentrate on repairs.
In 2011, a UNESCO team began the final phase of reconstruction on the mosque, which included renovating the mosques' bathrooms facilities, still in use today.
The mosque has also proven to be a treasure trove for other Islamic artifacts discovered during restoration work at the great mosque in 1972, when construction workers unveiled a number of ancient manuscripts including old copies of the Quran and the Sanaa manuscript.
At one time the mosque was a tourist attraction for Muslims and history buffs from around the world. Most of the visitors now are Yemeni men, looking for a cool and quiet place to pray.
The country's security problems have forced tourists to stay away.
Yemen's government remains largely occupied by an ongoing war in the south against rebels and an intense offensive against militants throughout the country, with the US waging a number of drone attacks in the country targeting what it says are Al-Qaida strongholds.
Yemen is currently dealing with pressing concerns of famine and internally displaced persons, forcing maintenance of the Great Mosque to feature lower down in terms of financial investment rankings.
As the Mufti of the Great mosque, Abdullah Al Rayi, explains the mosque has already survived great upheaval, Abdul Malik Ibn Marwan Al Amawy built the front, the eastern and western wings of the mosque during the Umayyad era and the external hall was built during the Ottoman era. The mosque passed by different stages until it reached its current state, and this is the monument of the people of Yemen.
The Great Mosque is also a place many Yemenis come for religious education. The Quran, Islamic law and the Arabic language are among the subjects taught on a regular basis.

Mosque of Sanaa Al Yemen [Miracle of Prophet pbuh The Ancient Architecture]
According to the authentic Islamic scriptures, the Prophet Muhammad was associated with the mosque's planning and construction around 630 AD (6 AH). Sana'a was central in the propagation of the Islamic religion in the post-Hijra period. Many of the archaeological finds discovered in the Great Mosque substantiate its construction to the era when Muhammad was alive.
Its confirmed history dates from 705 to 715 (86–96 AH), when the Umayyad caliph al-Walid I expanded the mosque to much larger dimensions. The interior stone arcades of the flat roofs of the mosque are stated to be of the Byzantine architectural features of the Axumite Empire. An inscription in the pre-Islamic language of the region, in a stone arch support, a reused piece, connects it to Byzantine architecture. This will require a deeper investigation as the citation used here is not proving these claim. Another inscription found in the courtyard of the mosque dates to 753 AD, of the Abbasid period.
Two minarets were built: one on the east side was constructed in the early 9th century, and the one on the west was built in the 12th century. Floods twice caused substantial damage to the mosque, after which it was totally renovated. Karmatis invaded the city in 911 and damaged the mosque.
Much restoration was done in 1130 by the Isma`ili Queen Arwa ibn Ahmad. She was responsible for the elegantly sculpted ceilings of the mosque's eastern, western, and northern wings. She was closely linked to the Fatimid dynasty in Egypt. The mosque's western minaret, which she had built, is similar to those of the mosques of the same period built in Cairo.
In the early 16th century, the mosque was renovated with a domed square structure and the paving of its courtyard.
Old City of Sanaa in Sanaa, Yemen
Situated in a mountain valley at an altitude of 2,200 m, the Old City of Sana'a is defined by an extraordinary density of rammed earth and burnt brick towers rising several stories above stone-built ground floors, strikingly decorated with geometric patterns of fired bricks and white gypsum. The ochre of the buildings blends into the bistre-colored earth of the nearby mountains. Within the city, minarets pierce the skyline and spacious green bustans (gardens) are scattered between the densely packed houses, mosques, bath buildings and caravanserais.
Inhabited for more than 2,500 years, the city was given official status in the second century BC when it was an outpost of the Yemenite kingdoms. By the first century AD it emerged as a centre of the inland trade route. The site of the cathedral and the martyrium constructed during the period of Abyssinian domination (525-75) bear witness to Christian influence whose apogee coincided with the reign of Justinian. The remains of the pre-Islamic period were largely destroyed as a result of profound changes in the city from the 7th century onwards when Sana'a became a major centre for the spread of the Islamic faith as demonstrated by the archaeological remains within the Great Mosque, said to have been constructed while the Prophet was still living. Successive reconstructions of Sana'a under Ottoman domination beginning in the 16th century respected the organization of space characteristic of the early centuries of Islam while changing the appearance of the city and expanding it with a second city to the west. The houses in the old city are of relatively recent construction and have a traditional structure.
As an outstanding example of a homogeneous architectural ensemble reflecting the spatial characteristics of the early years of Islam, the city in its landscape has an extraordinary artistic and pictorial quality. Its many-storied buildings represent an outstanding response to defensive needs in providing spacious living quarters for the maximum number of residents within defensible city walls. The buildings demonstrate exceptional craftsmanship in the use of local materials and techniques. The houses and public buildings of Sana'a, which have become vulnerable as a result of contemporary social changes, are an outstanding example of a traditional, Islamic human settlement.
Described by historians, geographers and scholars of the early Islamic and medieval eras, Sana'a is associated with the civilizations of the Bible and the Koran.

The Oldest Quranic Manuscripts
From Wikipedia:
Gerd Puin was the head of a restoration project, commissioned by the Yemeni government, which spent a significant amount of time examining the ancient Qur'anic manuscripts discovered in Sana'a, Yemen, in 1972. According to writer Toby Lester, his examination revealed unconventional verse orderings, minor textual variations, and rare styles of orthography and artistic embellishment. The scriptures were written in the early Hijazi Arabic script, matching the pieces of the earliest Qur'ans known to exist. The papyrus on which some of the text appears shows clear signs of earlier use, being that previous, scraped-off writings are also visible on it, though this does not necessarily demonstrate modifications to the over-all text of the Qur'an.
More than 15,000 sheets of the Yemeni Qur'ans have painstakingly been cleaned, treated, sorted, and photographed and 35,000 microfilmed photos have been made of the manuscripts. Some of Puin's initial remarks on his findings are found in his essay titled the Observations on Early Qur'an Manuscripts in San'a which has been republished in the book What the Koran Really Says by Ibn Warraq.

history of yemen
1200 BCE: Rich culture.
950-115 BCE: Kingdom of Sheba, whose riches were based upon caravan trade and agriculture with artificial watering.
Around 400: The Sabaean king of Yemen visits Yathrib in Arabia, and converts to Judaism. He makes it the state religion of Yemen.
7th century: Conversion into Islam, the region joins the Caliphate.
Sanaa sometimes spelled Sanaa or Sana'a) is the capital of Yemen and the centre of San'a' Governorate. San'a' is located at 15.354722° N 44.20667° E and has a population of 1,747,627 (2004 census).
San'a' lies in the heart of Yemeni highlands on a plateau at an altitude of 2200m surrounded by several mountains, notably Jabal Nuqum and Aiban. The city is around 320 km north of Aden.
San'a' is one of the ancient Yemeni cities dating back to the Sabaean dynasty of the 6th Century BC. The oldest written reference to its existence is found in inscriptions which date back to the 1st Century AD. It is suggested that San'a' was the capital of the Himyarite kingdom at the onset of the 6th Century AD.
When King Yousef Athar (or Dhu Nuwas), the last of the Himyarite kings, was in power, San'a' was also the capital of the Ethiopian viceroys, then after 570 of the Persians.
As of the dawn of Islam until the detachment of independent sub-states in many parts of Yemen Islamic Caliphate, San'a' persisted as the governing seat, who himself is Caliph's deputy in running the affairs of one of Yemen's Three Makhalifs: Mikhlaf San'a', Mikhlaf al-Janad and Mikhlaf Hadhramawt. The city of San'a' recurrently assumed an important status and all Yemenite States competed to control it.
The Mamelukes arrived in Yemen in AD 1517. Following the collapse of the Mamelukes in Egypt at the hands of the Ottoman Turks, Yemen fell under the Ottoman Rule and during the first Ottoman rule of Yemen between 1538-1635, San'a' became the capital of the Ottoman Vilayet and also during the Ottoman second rule 1872-1918. In 1918, San'a' was the capital of Imam Yahya, who ruled North Yemen. At the onset of the 1962 revolution which deposed the imamate rule, it became the capital of the Arab Republic of Yemen. It was then the capital of unified Yemen in 1990 where it is dubbed as the historical capital of Yemen.
The old, fortified city has been inhabited for more than 2500 years and contains a wealth of intact architectural gems. It was declared a World Heritage City by the United Nations in 1984. Efforts are underway to preserve some of the oldest buildings, some of which are over 400 years old. Surrounded by ancient clay walls which stand six to nine metres (20-30ft) high, the old city boasts over 100 mosques, 12 hammams (baths) and 6500 houses. Many of the houses look rather like ancient skyscrapers -- reaching several storeys high and topped with flat roofs, they are decorated with elaborate friezes and intricately carved windows.
One of the most popular attractions is Suq al-Milh (Salt Market), where it is possible to buy not only salt but also bread, spices, raisins, cotton, copper, pottery, silverware, antiques, and a host of other goods. The majestic seventh century al-Jami'a l-Kabir (The Great Mosque) is one of the oldest in the Muslim world. BÄb al-Yaman Yemen Gate is an iconized entry point through the city walls and is over 700 years old. (wikipedia)

Historic cities in Yemen added to UNESCO danger list
(2 Jul 2019) LEAD IN:
UNESCO has added two cities in Yemen to the List of World Heritage in Danger.
Years of war have taken its toll on the country's citizens and historic Islamic landmarks.
STORY-LINE :
The Old Walled City of Shibam is known as 'the Manhattan of the desert' due to its tower-like structures built in the 16th-century.
One of the oldest and iconic examples of urban planning, it was placed on the World Heritage List in 1982.
Like most of Yemen, years of armed conflict have taken its toll on the city.
Last week, UNESCO's World Heritage Committee added the ancient Yemeni cities of Shibam and Sana'a to the List of World Heritage in Danger.
Like Shibam, old Sana'a is an Islamic city of great historical importance.
In the 7th and 8th centuries the city became a major centre for Islam and has been inhabited for over 2,500 years.
It was placed on the World Heritage List in 1986.
The 12th century al-Mahdi Mosque and traditional red brick houses have been particularly affected.
Shibam has suffered from a series of attacks by insurgents and Sana'aa has experienced heavy airstrikes.
Ummat Al-Razaq, Deputy General Authority for the Preservation of Yemeni Historical Cities says:
Yemeni cities have undergone a great change in their architectural character, especially in the cities of Sanaa and Zabid. These changes have greatly hindered the preservation of these historic cities. This is why UNESCO has registered them both in the list of cities in danger (The World Heritage in Danger list) and is seeking support from the international community to save them.
1,975 houses were affected by the air strikes and 43 houses were totally destroyed. 86 houses have been seriously damaged in Sana'a city she adds.
The conflict is Yemen is yet to be resolved and violence continues in parts of the country.
