Ma'sal al-Jumh

Ma'sal al-Jumh is a site in central Arabia, west of modern Riyadh, where kings of Himyar left rock inscriptions recording military expeditions into the interior. One was made by Abikarib As'ad and his son Hassan Yuha'min in the 5th century, and another by Ma'dikarib Ya'fur in 521. They are key evidence of Himyarite power over the Arab tribes of central Arabia.
