Queen of Sheba, Queen of Yemen and Arabia, A Discovery channel production USA بلقيس بنت الهدهاد بن شرحبيل، ملكة سبأ، وصاحبة القصة المشهورة في القرآن مع نبي الله سليمان. كانت من بيت عز وجاه وملك، وحكمت مملكتها سبأ باليمن، وهي أقدم الممالك اليمنية العربية، وجاء ذكرها في التوراة، وفي بعض النقوش التي خلفها الملك سرجون ملك آشور (720-705 ق.م) وكانت عاصمتها مأرب بعد أن انتقلت من صرواح.

كان لبلقيس شأن عظيم في قومها ودولتها، حيث أوتيت من الملك والنعم الكثير، وكانت تعبد الشمس هي وقومها ذو العتاد والعدة والمنعة في زمانهم. وقد ورد ذكر قصتها في القرآن الكريم دون التصريح باسمها، حيث إنها عاصرت نبي الله سليمان عليه السلام الذي آتاه الله الملك، ووضع تحت يديه الإنس والجن، وأتاه علمًا يعرف به منطق الطير (لغته) ﴿وحشر لسليمان جنوده من الجن والإنس والطير فهم يوزعون﴾ النمل: 17 .

علم سليمان بأمر بلقيس وعبادتها وقومها للشمس من دون الله، فأرسل إليها يطلبها هي وقومها مسلمين مذعنين، فاستشارت وزراءها وأرسلت رسلها بهدايا ثمينة إلى سليمان لتسكته أو لتعرف نيته وتفكيره، فرفض الهدية ﴿فلما جاء سليمان قال أتمدوننِ بمال فما آتانِ الله خير مما آتاكم بل أنتم بهديتكم تفرحون﴾ النمل: 36. وعادت الرسل بالهدية فتيقنت أنه نبي صادق كريم فصارت إليه بقومها مذعنة مستسلمة، وقبل وصولها أمر سليمان جنوده أن يحملوا عرشها إليه، فلما وصلت وجدته أمامها وقد تبدلت فيه أجزاء قليلة، فلما سئلت عنه قالت كأنه هو، فازدادت هدى ويقينًا وأسلمت مع سليمان لرب العالمين وقالت ﴿رب إني ظلمت نفسي وأسلمت مع سليمان لله رب العالمين﴾ النمل: 44.

وقصتها مفصلة في التفاسير في سورة النمل وبعض كتب التاريخ
The country Sheba or Saba, whose name means Host of Heaven and peace, was Abyssinia. Located in southwest Arabia on the eastern tip of the Red Sea, Sheba was thriving about 3000 years ago and occupied 483,000 square miles of mountains, valleys (wadis) and deserts in the area of present day Yemen. Some historians claim that Ethiopia, on the western end of the Red Sea, was also part of Sheba's territory.

Sheba: The Ancient Empire

The country Sheba or Saba, whose name means Host of Heaven and peace, was Abyssinia. Located in southwest Arabia on the eastern tip of the Red Sea, Sheba was thriving about 3000 years ago and occupied 483,000 square miles of mountains, valleys (wadis) and deserts in the area of present day Yemen. Some historians claim that Ethiopia, on the western end of the Red Sea, was also part of Sheba's territory.



Sheba was a wealthy country with an advanced irrigation system. Its people, the Sabaeans, built dams as high as 60 feet with spans of almost a mile. They cut large earthen wells ito the Earth, which allowed them to irrigate their abundant gardens. Sheba was also rich in gold and other precious stones. But her real wealth was in her exclusive trade in frankincense and exotic spices sought by neighboring kingdoms.

Sheba also had a very lucrative caravan trade. By 1000 B.C., camels frequently traveled the 1400 miles up the "Incense Road" and along the Red Sea to Israel. The Road began in the port of Al Mukulla and Bir Ali where ships would bring goods from distant India and the Orient.

Frankincense is unique to Yemen since it is derived from the sap of a certain tree that grows only in Yemen. Frankincense was used as an offering to the gods and its rich perfumed smoke would rise like prayers to the heavens. It's aroma also made it valuable during cremations and it was often heaped on funeral pyres. Another Sabaean spice was Myrrh, an ingredient in fragrant oils and cosmetics. It was also used in preparing bodies for burial.

@NectaneboIII WHat proof do you have?why dont you go ask a archaeologist.

[TheAnticyclone]

Good effort

thanx to everybody who helped doing this documentary

Even thought LOTS of Infos and Data are slightly misenterpeted by the experts who came to Yemen, however, the whole world is into a big surprise there will be a whole new undertanding of the Yemeni civilisation, the greatest!!!

[NectaneboIII]

@Nikateer Dude you're wrong. No she was not. Back then most of arabia was black.

Queen of Sheba was a Sibylla (Prophet)

She wrote 9 books about a future of this planet which Solomon almost burn them all out. But the last 2 books survived and I have it written in my language. Those books were forbidden in Arabia for many centuries. And do you know why ? It was because her real identity was very danger for thousands of years to all rich society. The society which are even today. When I read her books I can see a future. And I can tell you there is a lot to be seen yet.

[samooo2020]

she was the greatest yemeni queen

[Ace4Tree1]

To much mythical propaganda remains,but that's what you get with religious icons who are worshipped like gods.I hope they dug up a lot more since 2002.There is a great need to clarify the past.As the heated comments about her origin prevail.I'd rather see good questions about her & Solomon.Is there proof of their existence apart from words on paper.Even Jesus is historically easily doubtable if you flesh out Flavius Josephus.Mohammed had more women than the Q'uran allows.So yes,I am worried.Bye.

@NectaneboIII Hail Salassi said he was direct descdents of Seba, but yet supported the rastas from Jamiaca and their weed. When you Africans get off your weed we will talk. Everything points Seba being from Yemen n not Africa so where do u get your BS from? The weed?

[NectaneboIII]

Queen of sheba was from africa and control all of southern arabia and mecca. Her origin was not in the middle east which is also africa, but to eurocentric it's not. She was a black queen and beautiful. Salam
