%X Le Y¨¦men a vu se d¨¦velopper ces derni¨¨res ann¨¦es des programmes de prospections et fouilles men¨¦s exclusivement par les Y¨¦m¨¦nites, jusqu¡¯alors r¨¦alis¨¦s par les missions ¨¦trang¨¨res en coop¨¦ration avec les ¨¦quipes du GOAM et des universit¨¦s y¨¦m¨¦nites. Parall¨¨lement, une nouvelle g¨¦n¨¦ration des chercheurs form¨¦s aux universit¨¦s de Sanaa et d¡¯Aden ou aux universit¨¦s ¨¦trang¨¨res s¡¯est constitu¨¦e. Nombreux ouvrages de recherches sur l¡¯arch¨¦ologie et l¡¯histoire de Y¨¦men pr¨¦islamique, r¨¦dig¨¦s en langue arabe, ont vu le jour. Ces ouvrage font appara tre pour la premi¨¨re fois une approche de l¡¯histoire du Y¨¦men pr¨¦islamique fond¨¦e, non pas sur les mythes et les l¨¦gendes, mais sur l¡¯arch¨¦ologie et l¡¯¨¦pigraphie. Cette nouvelle vision de l¡¯histoire propos¨¦e par les chercheurs Y¨¦m¨¦nites doit faire face ¨¤ une ¨¦cole traditionnelle, bien ancr¨¦e dans la mentalit¨¦ de la population, qui d¨¦fend une lecture l¨¦gendaire de l¡¯histoire du Y¨¦men avant l¡¯Islam. Ancient South Arabia as Seen from the Inside: The Archeological Excavations of the Yemeni ResearchersThough until recently, prospecting and archeological excavations have been carried out mostly by foreign expeditions (with the collaboration of the research teams from the Antiquities Department), during the past few years there have been programs in Yemen run exclusively by Yemeni institutions.Simultaneously, a new generation of researchers has appeared who graduated not from foreign universities but received their education at the universities of Sanaa, Aden and Dhamar. Numerous archeological and historical studies of the pre-Islamic period of Yemen were published in Arabic. For the first time, such studies adopt a methodology based not on myths and legends but on the strictly scientific data of archeology and epigraphy. Being in conflict with a more traditional school, which still dominates collective mentality and which defends a legendary reading of the history of Yemen before Islam, this new vision of history proposed by Yemeni researchers tends to influence more and more profoundly the Yemeni educated public.
