Awwam
Awwam (South Arabian ʾwm 
) can refer to the region of Awwam, now thought by most scholars to be Ma'rib (Arabic: مأرب) or to the famous temple of Awwam otherwise known as Mahram Bilqis.
One of the most frequent titles of the god Almaqah was the Lord of Awwam.
The Awwam temple, Arabic Haram Bilqis or Mahram Bilqis, is a Sabaean temple near Ma'rib (Arabic: مأرب) in today's Yemen.
It was built by Mukarrib Yada`'il Dharih I between the 7th and 5th century BCE.
The largest part of the temple is occupied by an unguarded yard that is enclosed by a massive stone wall with an irregular oval ground plan.
On the inner wall of the hall were several dozen highly important inscriptions from the late period of the Sabaean kingdom.
The partial excavation of Awwam 1951-52 was by the American Foundation for the Study of Man, led by Wendell Phillips.
