2,000 year-old Inscription from Yemen Tells of a Lost Temple Dedicated to an Unknown God

A 2,000 year-old bronze tablet from Yemen tells of a lost temple dedicated to Athtar Ḥarmān, a deity that scholars have never heard of before. The tablet  appeared on the antiquities market recently in the US. Scholars I've talked to have expressed concern that the tablet may have been recently looted. The gallery auctioning it says that its research indicates otherwise.
