Yemen: Land of the legendary Queen of Sheba, who met King Solomon in Jerusalem
With film shot during Wendell Phillips’ 1950 expedition and footage of the collection housed in the museum in Sana’a, this documentary is a fascinating insight into a long-gone civilization and a queen who lives on in the cultural memory of her country.

The name of the Queen of Sheba conjures a vision of eastern exoticism. There is no indisputable evidence that she ever existed, though a Bible story tells how she journeyed to Jerusalem, bearing gold and incense, to visit King Solomon and to see for herself whether tales of his great wisdom were true. The people of Yemen remain convinced that the Queen of Sheba is a historical, not a legendary, figure and that she ruled over the ancient kingdom of Saba, now part of their country, which lies in the extreme south of the Arabian peninsula.
In the past fifty years, several foreign archaeological expeditions have sought to discover more about Yemen’s enigmatic past and the Yemenites themselves are now endeavoring to repossess their heritage. The museum of the University of Sana’a, the modern-day capital of Yemen, is assembling a fine collection of artefacts that have been found during excavations around the country. But this largely desert country has been reluctant to yield up its treasures. Several excavation sites which have had to be abandoned have rapidly become covered over once more by sand.

I am from djibouti 🇩🇯 culturally we are so much close to southern Yemen 🇾🇪 especially Adane and taize
Queen Sheba or balqis was from Yemen maarib and she ruled over the southern Arabia and the horn Africa the geez and tigray and Amhara all Semitic not African they traveld from south Arabia which is Yemen and dominated the Horn of Africa
Correct
Excellent !!!
Geez, tigaray and Amhara r the descendants of (Africis bin Amhroo{Tuba'a}),he was king but not Tuba'a because he ruled one kingdom not the six kingdoms
The Story of King Salmon (Solaiman) and the Queen of Sheba (Saba'a), her name is (Balqees) is mentioned clearly in the Quran. in Chapter Al Naml (the Ant)

I’m from Tigray(a home for Axum Empire) and we had ancient Temple of the Moon god called YEHA. This was built during the Da-Ma’at Kingdom. Many many centuries before Axum! Locally, people call it “Temple of Queen of Sheba”. Both Da-Ma’at & Axum Kingdoms ruled Far from the current territory, including Southwest Arabia and kingdom of Meroë. And I Love Yemen❤️
Agames were imported from Yemen as slave labors
I have a new appreciation for the Yemeni people!
You have an amazing history and a beautiful country. Would love to visit.
@@Earthbound369 Thank you and Will be so glad 🙏🏾❤️
Thank you for mentioning the ancient temple of the moon god called Yeha, which reminds me of the The Tetragrammaton, the four-letter Hebrew theonym יהוה, usually transliterated YHWH, which people mistranslate to Yahweh or Jehovah by adding extra letters (vowels) to add in between which are not apart of Hebrew. Hebrew doesn't have vowels as part of the alphabet system. In fact, since Hebrew is one of the most ancient languages still spoken around the world, the vowel system was never a part of the Hebrew alphabet. The real pronunciation has been lost over time due to not uttering the holy name due to a fear of accidentally taking God’s name in vain, so the Jews stopped saying it out loud altogether and instead when reading scripture aloud, the Jews substituted the tetragrammaton YHWH with the word Adonai (“Lord”). When the Masoretes added vowel pointings to the text of the Hebrew Bible around the eighth century CE, they gave the word YHWH the vowels of Adonai, to remind the reader to say Adonai instead. Later Biblical scholars mistook this vowel substitution for the actual spelling of YHWH and interpreted the name of God as Jehovah. *Hebrew is read from right to left, as was Himyaritic, the ancient language of Yemen which was also written from right to left. Ancient Brahmi as was Indus script might possibly have been too. Thanks again.
This is a proper documentary. 👍🏾
Thank you v much💐
Thanks a lot producing such a valuable ancient history of Yemen I was so fascinated by it. Although l was more interested in find out about queen Sheba so still they have to search for it. Evidence is there she lived there so l hope one day they will be able find her.
Amazing work👍👍

An Absolutely well made documentary
The professor is incorrect in that Yemen is not the only Nation that claims Queen Saba as its monarch. It is a bone of contention between Yemen and Ethiopia as we Ethiopians, with a history extending beyond 3000 years also have historical sites that include her palace, similar Sabean writing, plus oral and written history that tells us our Queen travelled to Jerusalem to meet with King Solomon-and later gave birth to a son, Minelik I. Without Minelik 1there would be no Ark of the Covenant in St Mary of Zion's church in Axum. We believe her empire was extensive, based in Axum but extending east, across the red sea to include Yemen and what is now Saudi Arabia, to the west as far as Nigeria. Considering the physical resemblance Yemenis, Ethiopians and the Nubians in Egypt share, I believe we were once part of one great empire presided over by Queen Saba/Makeda.
well, at one point Ethiopia ruled over Yemen thus it's not really false to claim both.
😂sabean culture and inscriptions came from Yemen.
Have you verified the authenticity of the existence of the ark?
It's all myth, fabricated by Abba Mickael z'ai Yaqob the coptic monk.
@@kayodewa We have believed for over 2000 years, and continue to believe it is with us. In addition to the Bible, we also have our own, additional scriptures-including the only original copy of The Book of Enoch which Western Christianity rejected-but now, having ‘rediscovered it’ has become a huge deal in a World where faith in The Almighty God has diminished while many seek answers from our ancient scriptures & prophecies. Proof like faith is relative.

It is interesting how many ancient civilizations there were in Yemen, including Christian and Jewish.
Christians have a 1000 years to go before we can consider Christianity "Ancient"
.. Saba was only settled in the 7th century, 300 years after the Queen of Sheba. In reality, the Queen of Sheba was the daughter of King Sheba - Pharaoh Pa-Sheba-khaieniut. Saba or Sheba means ‘star’, so the Queen of Sheba was the Queen of the Stars, the Queen of Heaven - an incarnation of lsis-Aphrodite. See book ‘Solomon, Pharaoh of Egypt’. R

I have heard the Queen’s Palace is in Beihan . The scenery there is certainly spectacular .... I think there was a poppy farm there run for blind lepers . To the north of Aden and near the old border between North and South Yemen was a Jewish community who lived atop a tall and steep rock pillar . There was no water on top where the village was situated so the women had to make a steep and circular journey around the pillar of rock everyday .
Those who have Identity crisis should know Queen Sheba was semetic like Arabs not Hamitic African. She went to Jerusalem with lots of treasure using camel Caravan and Ethiopia lies other side of red sea Ethiopia which require boats and ships for transportation forget camels would cross sea to Jerusalem. Ethiopia is mainly inhabited by Cushitic , Nubian type people only North West region has significant Semitic population who have 50% Middle eastern blood and are caucasian. The jews have strong connection with Yemen/Arabia and have their own empire who are result of cultural exchange between Israel and Yemen.
Please stop it with the Caucasian bs. That’s a racist theory that was invented by a racist man and has been debunked. It’s a shame you guys even consider yourself that because it’s essentially like sharing you history with same people that want to steal it.
Ethiopians are semetic and there are other semetic groups found in Africa and the middle east. Please know that my people represent all semetic, hamitic, and or any other thing you can think of because we are the mothers and the fathers of every living human being on this planet.

This is intriguing story. , according to Hebrew,in the Bible as well as Ethiopian literature that Quen of Sheba (Saba) she is also referred as Makda as one of the incient queen who went to visit King Solomon upon her return gave birth Menelik1, who ruled Ethiopia as a king in the 10th century BC . Possibly she was ruling from middle East upto Eastern part of Africa
There's no such thing as, the middle east in the bible. The land of yisrael is part of Africa they're of the Cannanites people of Ham Genesis 10: VS 6-21
Let this narrator and producer misguide the entire world by narrating false stories. Do they know how many times Yemen was liberated by different Kings of Ethiopian Axum kingdom of Empire??? No, if they wanted to tell reality of Quen Saba ( Makda), they would have begun from ruler of Africa East Arabia and Asia as well as Israel at that time. Ethiopia land of God. People of God.

Within the vast Axumite empire during queen Sheba, Yemen was also under the rule of this empire. Taking this historic facts into consideration Queen Sheba was also their Queen .

@إيران قاهرة العربان 🇮🇷 the queen of sheba is from Ethiopia do your research some more
Sheba is not her name her name is Bilqis she was called Sheba(saba) because she ruled over Saba she is Yemeni 🇾🇪 not Ethiopian
The silly thing is that Saba probably didn't conform at all to the current borders of the area, which were drawn arbitrarily by the British in the 18th and 19th centuries. It is likely that Saba included parts of both Yemen and Ethiopia. Both countries have strong evidence of the presence of the same culture, and to add to it, the Ethiopian kings and emperors can trace their lineage right the way back to Menelik and Solomon. The last of the line was Emperor Haile Salasi who was assassinated not so very many years ago (recently enough that I remember it happening). There must have been some reason for Solomon's decedents to have relocated to Ethiopia. It's unlikely that they'd go there just for fun and giggles. But if it was a part of Saba, it would all make sense. It would also make sense in regard to the Ark of the Covenant, which it is said was spirited away from Jerusalem when the Romans destroyed the second temple, ended up in Ethiopia.
She is the Yemeni Arab queen who ruled the country of the Negroes to the extent that the Negroes today in Africa speak Arabic and write in Arabic calligraphy, and they have a Semitic religion, not an African Negro.......
Do not forget that the blacks acquired the Himyarite Arabic language, the Himyarite Arabic predicate, the Semitic culture, the Semitic religion "Christianity, Judaism", and the Semitic history through the Yemeni influence on them over thousands of years. You must not forget that those in East Africa who have a genetic connection with Yemen are called "Darudians" and are of the E lineage. If you look at them, they will not appear to you Negroes, but an Arab with black skin color and long curly hair.........
Arab Semitic 🇾🇪 Ethiopian Hamitic 🇪🇹
I can read and understand old Saba language. Very similar to Amharic language. 90% same word. I was amazed once I find out. Amharic is the direct descendant of Saba language. Written right to left ቀበረ ረበቀ ቀለለ ለለቀ ሰበረ ረበሰ ቀረአ አረቀ ነወ ወነ ወየነ ነየወ ከበደ ደበአ
Aramaic is older
@@nagameel7324 could be but saba and Amharic are so similar. Not only the alphabets but the words. I can undrestand it. the written scripts doesn't have vowels but they are verbs. Amharic verbs doesn't need vowel. For example. Ateme አተመ። መተአ።
Because they were under Saba control and they adopted their language Saba had established commercial areas to protect trade lines in many areas
Amharic is older
This is plain bs, how can you read unvocalized script with no comparative translation. This look fake and made up. Also, there is no written evidence of Amharic being spoken preior to 13th A.D.

Sam Ibn Noah lived in Yemen and died in it, and Saba is from Yemen and his children, so how could the Kingdom of Saba be Ethiopian? At that date, the name Ethiopia did not exist. Ethiopian..

The Axumite kingdom of Ethiopia ruled present day yemen at that time it’s possible that the queen might have a palace there but she also had a place in axum Ethiopia Also Her hair style is the same hair style of women from axum in present day
The Axum kingdom is a later Sabean in kingdom after saba was divided into different kindoms himyar, awam, dhu raydan, yemenet, hathramout, damt and abysinia and the Berber in somalia. this means the habesha and ageez kingdoms in north africa are Yemeni Sabeans that migrated to Ethiopia that later became axum.

She is mythical women fabricated by Coptic monks during the Ayyub dynasty.
This is actually really interesting. Queen Sheba, Saba (Siva/ Lord Siva, a moon god) is said to be from Ethiopia (Cush/Kush), although there's a possibility she's from Yemen. They would cross over from Ethiopia and Sudan (Kingdom of Kush and the Land of Punt region) into South Arabia, Yemen (Saba) and then onto The Near and Middle East and or India, as to why Cush/Kush could probably be the name for both areas, The kingdom of Kush and The HinduKush (from the Cushite, plural Cushites :A member of one of various peoples native to the Horn of Africa) and the Kutchi people are a tribe from India and Pakistan along the Hindu-Kush (Sindhu/Indu/Hindu). Kush is a son of Ham (Ham is one of Noah's three sons) and grandson of Noah, as is Raamah/Ra'ma (as in Lord Rama). Raahma means exalted, father, or thunder in Hebrew and also refers to a mountainous area. And Saba (Siva) is a son of Kush, or Cush. Raamah/Rama was a son of Cush, the eldest son of Ham, who was a son of Noah, the Patriarch of the Flood. Raamah/Rama is usually claimed to be somewhere in the region of Yemen; Sheba was a son of Raamah, and his descendants are often held to be included among the Sabaeans. And then there's the statue of a deity of a goddess named Lady Barat. Bharat is the HinduKush, and what India is now named.There is still a city in Yemen named Barat. Sheba was quite well known in the classical world, and its country was called Arabia Felix "Fertile Arabia" Part of what led to Arabia Felix's wealth and importance to the ancient world was its near monopoly of the trade of cinnamon and other spices, both its native products and imports from India and the Horn of Africa (Cysh/Kush). The term Arabia Felix was the Roman translation of the earlier Greek Hellenistic term Arabia Eudaimon, attributed to Eratosthenes of Cyrene. Felix has the simultaneous meaning of "fecund, fertile" and "happy, fortunate, blessed." The Arabian city of Eudaemon in Arabia Felix was a transshipping port in the Red Sea trade. Eudaemon Arabia was once a full-fledged city, when vessels from India did not go to Egypt and those of Egypt did not dare sail to places further on, but came only this far. Frankincense has been traded on the Arabian Peninsula for more than 5,000 years. Frankincense was also traded from the Horn of Africa during the Silk Road era. Most frankincense comes from the Horn of Africa, and India, but also in Oman, Yemen, and western Africa.
Thanks beside all you have expressed above it's also interesting to note that ONLY FIVE people might be having some special status are performing a special rhythmic movement is identical to five pandavas they to enact that way PERHAPS in some hills of Himalaya. Also five pillars and a small pillar structure representing something auspicious or linked to similar meanings .Does that isn't suggesting cross cultural harmony or influences though continues struggle between tribes was a common but not serious matter. Thanks.
@@sudarshanbadoni6643 Thank you. I love theology and history. The ancient world was definitely very connected and relied on other cultures for trade. People have been seafaring for millenniums or longer. There are Yemeni Indians, those who consist of people of Indian descent who were born in or immigrated to Yemen. Most are descendants of those who migrated from India during the Ancient era.
@@sudarshanbadoni6643 I just wanted to say that I edited part of my comment above to make the connections a bit more more cohesive. Although, you should find this part of great interest from what you wrote above about the Pandavas. Part of what led to Arabia Felix's wealth and importance to the ancient world was its near monopoly of the trade in cinnamon and spices, both its native products and imports from India and the Horn of Africa. Strabo a Greek geographer, philosopher, historian from modern day Turkey whose life was characterized by extensive travels was quoted saying that "Arabia Felix was composed of five kingdoms, one each of warriors, farmers, "those who engage in the mechanical arts; another, the myrrh-bearing country, and another the frankincense-bearing country, although the same countries produce cassia, cinnamon, and nard."
FYI: The Temple of moon god, YEHA (temple of Sheba) is located or found in a small town called “RAMA”

Sheba not mentioned until the last 45 seconds. Only to tell us that no evidence has been found. Maybe she was Ethiopoan, after all.
Sorry but this is wrong, there are 2 Sheba's in the Bible, yes one of them were from Ham but this particular Sheba who tested Solomon came from Ophir, in the Far East, from Shem and Joktan's line.
Abyssinian Ethiopians are Semitic.
Interesting to note that no women were watching the dancing. Better things to do, no doubt.🤗 Really enjoyable video. Love the history of this country.
Not allowed,more likely.
Muslim and Arab countries rarely have women out and about except Turkey. It’s quite chilling.
Interesting i looking at the people of Yemen they look like me. I am not Yemeni but they have my skin color and looks. South Yemen i see the people are darker skin some also look like East Africans. So there is a mix race in Yemen. Queen of Saba looks like she was a woman of color more like brown.
6:34 Ben Kingsley can play any role!

How could they just end it like that!! I need to know how those kids got down off those pillars!
It’s interesting that are NO women visible anywhere in this filming.

Yes, they were in those black shapes by the windows when the men were dancing in the street.
I counted at least 5. Out in the open.
they all live under bondage, Typical Arab culture.
What about the cute girl in the market near the end?😊
Excellent document, seeing first time ancient multi story flats of Yemen. may be mud brick technology spread to India and many countries 🙏🙏
These aren't ancient, they are contemporary building and mostly legacy of Ottoman architecture.

Great documentary. I believe the more we search the more we find truths from the bible. Specifically - Many cultures relate stories of her. Rastafarians also believe former emperor of Ethiopia was a descendant of Solomon and Sheba.... But in any case - those remains of her must be many layers below what they have found when you just account for the times involved.
Which verse in the Bible that son of solomon is also in euthopia
She is the Yemeni Arab queen who ruled the country of the Negroes to the extent that the Negroes today in Africa speak Arabic and write in Arabic calligraphy, and they have a Semitic religion, not an African Negro..،،
Do not forget that the blacks acquired the Himyarite Arabic language, the Himyarite Arabic predicate, the Semitic culture, the Semitic religion "Christianity, Judaism", and the Semitic history through the Yemeni influence on them over thousands of years. You must not forget that those in East Africa who have a genetic connection with Yemen are called "Darudians" and are of the E lineage. If you look at them, they will not appear to you Negroes, but an Arab with black skin color and long curly hair.،،.،
No he wasn't. King Solomon is Amhara and Oromo., They have nothing to do with Queen Saba or her son King Menelik the first (their are not first and second as names from children..it only separates the kings and queens with similar names but they have no relations to one another)
@@user-zl7cq9db3c We never forgot this only people who know nothing about history think. their the Euro whites of today. some of the cities (considered older) are literally named in our language. They can't even properly translate the city names.
yemen maybe as a client kingdom but Queen Makeda is From Aethiopia! the story pass down to all of the ethiopian people called the kebra-Negast. and even the bible says she is from the black continent and according to mostly all scholars. thats the main real story, now there was a Queen name Amina who i feel ruled ancient yemen. and the stories and names are conflicting! anyways if Makeda also ruled ancient yemen thats also dope! but they say 1 of her ancient palaces is in Ethiopia!
Her tomb is in Nigeria so how come she’s from Yemen lol she’s from Nigeria
nigeria? i understand maybe ethiopia but she is definitely not from nigeria.
In Berlin! In Brussels!!
Sultanate of Oman’s southern province is Salalah..here you can find as claimed to be the ruins of Queen Sheba near the border of Oman and Yemen… also there’s a lot of frankincense trees in Salalah…it’s also in Salalah, Oman where you can find the tomb of the prophet Job in the Bible…in biblical times there was no demarcation between now Oman and Yemen…a beautiful place…

It kind of freaks me out that I have not seen a single woman or girl in this video, yet thousands of men and boys.
According to Ashraf Ezzat, the Egyptian writer, King Solomon;s temple ruins are also in Yemen. And, Yemen is the original home of the Semitic Jews.
Really enjoyed watching this video. There is just one thing that has me confused. The people from Ethiopia claimed at the Royal bloodline is directly coming from the Queen of Sheba who was an Ethiopian an now I'm hearing here that she was actually from Yemen so which country does the Queen of Sheba belong to
Queen of Sheba of The Biblical is of Shemite origin She was the descendant of Joktan who was brother of Peleg She was of that Bloodline not Hamite Gen 10:7 ...They confuse the Sheba of the Bible. Gen 10:29 Joktan had descendants called Ophir which land had alot of Gold etc
She was Ethiopian with a vast kingdom that includes Yemen, you get?
I believe Ethiopians and Yemen are the same people. They look alike.
@@lisaaugusta5521 watching this documentary the northern ethiopia and ertrea , and these people of Yemen , looks so much alike , like so much similarities , it surprised me ,. As ethiopian they look like the Arab version of ethiopian lol , you can feel there's some deep connection In history between us 😊
@@teejayangel6638 😏😏😏😏😏
Lies as soon as the video mentioned that Sheba was from Yemen I said nah I know you kidding bcoz the Bible even mention she's from Ethiopia. Plus Ethiopia is known to be the land of spices,
@@JohnSmith-yh5bd if you don't believe in the Bible, then how about I tell you that Yemen was originally part of Ethiopia. And only black people lived there at the time. How about I tell you that the arab ( white skinned)came from north the kingdom of Syria, Israel, Iraq and others down to south and took over Yemen. You can search for ancient maps or books telling about middle east. Oh wait even they say the middle east was called eastern Ethiopia. You see Ethiopian kings and Queens ruled Yemen as part of their kingdom as the people living there were Ethiopians. And as those kings and Queens, Queen sheba ruled Yemen as part of her kingdom. In fact the Ethiopians ruled from southern Egypt to some part of asia. And on ancient paintings she was colored black. Do you know the Philippines also think she is Filipino. hahaha All this proof, do you still believe that she is not Ethiopian?
@@JohnSmith-yh5bd don't fret over the truth that the Bible entails...you sound like someone oppressed by the truth yourself

She's from Ethiopia, ruled over Yemen. May had a Palace there. After all. She was the ruler over vasts area. Could have had a Palace anywhere.
She’s Yemenite queen
@@user-lr9ru6qj2d Ok. But she did rule over Ethiopia correct? Her son ruled over Ethiopia, ISNT that true.
@@yvettelyn66not her son rather a Himyarite king from sabbaen origin called Africis thi Al Manar crossed the red sea (oasan sea by that time) and settled in near tigaray, Ethiopia.
I have often wondered if there was a way to prove or discern whether or not Sheba was from Yemen or Ethiopian. I think it makes sense that Solomon would've found a somewhat distant relative more appealing both from a looks standpoint and a spiritual standpoint, than a far more distant relative in an Ethiopian woman. This may be viewed as complete conjecture on my part, but it is my personal conviction. I am 7 generations removed from my nearest Jewish ancestor and far more attracted to Jewish women or women more closely related to me, than woman who are more distantly related, than either Jewish women or gentile women more closely related to myself. People are more able to relate to someone more like themselves and hold an appreciation of something different, yet with a distinct familiarity they can appreciate, in my opinion. She was more than likely a descendant of one of Abraham's other children, besides Isaac or Ishmael.
Wow! I was scared : Thought you had the proof She was Swedish!😂😂😂! But it`s okay, you just being playing with imagination.
@@armanddumont3959 , this sounds like an admission of your admiration of Swedish models??? I don't blame you, some of them are quite fine. 😉😂🤣😂🤣
Its like he has clue of what Jewish at that time look like.😂😂😂
Yeman means to the right in our language . She was born in Tembien Tigray and ruled over Aksum. She spoke and wrote in Ge'ez. There are cities in the Middle East in Tigrynia. Yemen is a name she named them. The lies have to stop.
@@StopTheLiess The Queen of Sheba is older than Abyssinia aksum 😂
These current people and culture has absolutely zero relation to these ancient builders.
It's on their land though, so it's their archaeological resource.
luckily Yemenis have records and a history
So who were ancient builders according to you?

The Israelite Sabeans and Himyarites, "Semitic in general," are not Negroes
Successfully they managed to evade a thousand yrs of scientific knowledge
from Eritrea part of kingdom of Axum was the da amat kingdom im pretty sure queen sheba would of been called in ancient eritrea/ethiopia "saba" and shes probably half yemeni half eritrean since yemenis mixed with eritreans thats why were much lighter than ethiopians
Queen Sheba is full Arab Semitic from Yemen. Eritreans are Hamitic Yemenis are Semitic
Probably.
I am the Queen of Sheba. Ask my mother, who called me this.
😂❤️
Lol. My mother called my sister The Queen of Sheba when she spent too much time putting on makeup in the washroom
"I feed my cat ,"Queen of Sheba"cat food, because only the best will do for my dear little,Mr.Munson"
"Who do you think you are, the Queen of Sheba?" Jajajaja
It was only speculated that I was.
At 17:40, there was a time when God was identified as being at a specific location. As Zeus was praised in Greece, and Allah is praised in Mecca, while the Hebrew G'd is praised in Israel. The God of this region of Saba, would be located at an auspicious site where one could seek God's favour and protection. Building facades were created on feature rock formations, or grottos created in caves, as a place to worship God. As these generally pre dated Muhammed they are pre Islam. This structure may have served as a site to locate and pray to the God of the region.
The bible says... it takes around 2 years to travel from the land of queen Sheba... not Yemen and none of those lands fits...
Modern historians identify Sheba with both the South Arabian kingdom of Saba in present-day Yemen and Ethiopia. The queen's existence is disputed among historians.
THE BIBLE SPEAKS OF HER & I HAVE FOUND THE SCRIPTURES TO BE TRUTHFUL & FORTHRIGHT...STUDYING WILL PROVE THAT OUT...;)
@@layna8924 and my mother is the queen of england.

Shes ( the one who met Solomon) is african not arab ... shes not from yemen...
Her descendants lived in Ethiopia. That’s factual.
Ethiopia 🇪🇹
🍼🍼🍼🍼😭
Hope they find their queen of Sheba. They certainly believe in her !
They are not mistaken. Queen Sheba might be surely their Queen as well not only for Ethiopian. It is possible. Look at them. They look like Africans/Ethiopians. There’s no difference. The land has been divided with different names. It’s hard to tell who is who.
Yeah cuz she was Yemeni like it of not our history proves it time and time again and ya was ruled by us for over a thousand of years so some similarities would be expected also the only time Ethiopia ruled over yemen was after the death of queen sheba/saba by hundreds of years and only ruled for 60 years till the Yemenis with backing from the Persians kicked ya out.also the dark skinned Yemenis are highly believed to be Ethiopians that couldn’t travel back to Africa hence why all of Yemenis with a lighter skinned color belongs to tribes that would proudly tell you their family tree all the way back to queen Sheba’s time and before while the dark skinned ones wouldn’t be able to and are not considered a tribe
They wont, She is fictional and imaginary

According to some sources, She was a Palestinian muslim and so was Solomon. Thanks for correcting the history.
Not true at all.
Uh no. Solomon ruled the kingdom of Israel circa 950BC. that’s roughly 1650 years before the birth of Mohammed and the creation of Islam.
is there any similarities between lord siva in hinduism vs sheba in bible
Brahma: No
She was not from Yemen but ethiopian
Queen Sheba was a Semitic Yemenite Arab, not an Ethiopian-African Hamite. She expanded her kingdom to Ethiopia.

How did you talk about only Yemen and did not mention ertrirea , on shared history , Are you a real historian? Cus you would've tried better than this , and dig deeper
The should come to Nigeria where the body of Queen Sheba lay down in her grave just as if she wad sleeping some Americans come and inspect the grave and said her body is still fresh and in Tanzania was found a palace that belong to her with the wall that surround the palace some believe she rest their for some month before continue her journey to the Solomon's palace and on her way back she die
