Location
[edit | edit source]Mount Masar is located at 18°12′32″N 43°12′33E near the Yemen border and near al Jawf, in the area of Muammar, and has a height above sea level of more than 2600 metres.[2]
History
[edit | edit source]The mountain has an ancient history including many ancient carvings and the "path of the elephant", a route historically linked to the attempt by Abraha Al-Ashram, the Aksumite, Christian ruler of Yemen to demolish the Kaaba,[3] during the Year of the Elephant, described in the Quran.[4][5]
