Where is Sheba?
A:No one knows where the nation of Sheba was, or even if it really existed. The only independent mention of it is in the Old testament Book of Kings, which refers to a Queen of Sheba visiting the fabulously wealthy King Solomon in Jerusalem. However, this appears to be a legendary account intended to demonstrate the importance of an ancient king, rather than a historical record. Christian and Islamic sources speak of Sheba, but appear dependent on the original Judaic account. The former imperial family of Ethiopia claims to be descended from the offspring of the Queen of Sheba by King Solomon, on the basis that Sheba was the ancient name of Ethiopia. Once again, this claim is more likely to be based on puffery than fact.

Solomons favorite wife?
Interesting were last week's despatches from the Cairo newspaper Mokattam that diggers have found the rich tomb of Solomon's favorite wife Moti Maris of Memphis, on the Mount of the Temple (Jerusalem's Mount Moriah). With the body was a scroll in which Solomon, supposedly, wrote: "When Moti poured the wine into the cups I noticed that Amerto [her malicious father] did not extend his hand. Nevertheless, I unsuspectingly raised my cup to my lips. Thereupon Moti snatched the cup and drank the [poisoned] wine herself." The above is a ficticious rendering from a Palistinian weekly.(Source:time.com 09-27-09)
