WAS SHE FROM ANCIENT INDIA ? The Queen of Sheba !
1. She is an enigmatic figure found in all three of the Abrahamic faiths, i.e. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. In addition to her presence in these three religions, the Queen of Sheba plays an important role in the history and identity of the Ethiopian people. As usual, anything from EAST, the queen's existence is disputed.2. Described in the Bible as simply a Queen of the EAST, modern scholars believe she came from the Kingdom of Axum in Ethiopia, the Kingdom of Saba in Yemen, or both. Their main clue is that she brought bales of incense with her as a gift; frankincense only grows in these two areas.
3. There were queens elsewhere in ancient Arabia, according to Assyrian documents, but apart from the Biblical story and related traditions, no evidence has appeared of a queen in southern Arabia.
4. About a thousand years before the birth of Christ there was a legendary encounter between two wealthy rulers, one that has been immortalized in three world religions and one that people still talk about today. This encounter is recorded in the Bible and in the Koran, and it has been the subject of films. She came from southern Arabia, an ancient kingdom in present-day Yemen on the Arabian Peninsula, directly on the Gulf of Aden. She ruled the kingdom of Saba (or Sheba).
5. Her kingdom was situated at a strategic point between INDIA, Africa, and the Mediterranean states. She came with a large retinue and tons of gold—120 talents of gold—SPICES, precious STONES, and a special kind of wood.
