Queen of Sheba

"The Queen of Sheba (Hebrew: מַלְכַּת שְׁבָא‎‎, Malkaṯ Šəḇāʾ; Arabic: ملكة سبأ‎, romanized: Malikat Saba; Ge'ez: ንግሥተ ሳባ) is a figure first mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. In the original story, she brings a caravan of valuable gifts for the Israelite King Solomon. This account has undergone extensive Jewish, Islamic and Ethiopian elaborations, and it has become the subject of one of the most widespread and fertile cycles of legends in the Middle East.

Modern historians identify Sheba with the South Arabian kingdom of Saba in present-day Yemen. The queen's existence is disputed among historians." - (en.wikipedia.org 20.12.2021)
