Queen of Sheba, Part 2 بلقيس: ملكة سبأ (اليمن) وماحولها

Queen of Sheba, queen of Yemen and Arabia, A Discovery channel production USAبلقيس 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.

This video is all wrong Makeda is from ethiopia not yemen, i hate how anybody thinks that they can come and steal ethiopias precious history. by theway in the stone buildings on 4:08 has writings that look like geez, which would prove to this stupid europeans that she was from ethiopia.. and sheba was most definetly not arab......

[njguynorth80]

sheba was a large kingdom that controled many parts of ethiopia. the holy books say she was the queen of the desert, is ethiopia a desert? also the queen of the south, is ethiopia in the south? does ethiopia have a dam? temples that write KINGDOM OF SABA ON ITS WALLS???

[Helendaprobie]

i'm sorry i don't see any buildings in yemen with QUEEN SHEBA any where on it..and to let you know there areas of deserts in ethiopia. the land of sheba was ethiopia/eritrea and stretched to yemen, you should also know that sheba was another name for Abbysinia(ethiopia/eritrea.yem­en).

[njguynorth80]

listen helen... i have all respect of ethiopa and its people but there is no Queen of sheba in any temple in yemen or ethiopia its all a meth, but Sheba or saba was a kingdom in Yemen

[munderyousef]

well do u know who was the Arabs ancestor? it was Shem... son of Noah...thats why Arabic is called a Semitic language. u can only find pure Semetic people in Yemen... Arabs were the people who came after Noah (slalm to him)...

[mewoone]

Queen of Sheba was from Ethiopia???? than i am from Europe hahahhah ... stop stealing our history...

[sabreena1khalick]

@MooPotPie Yes agreed. But the very recent and the strongest evidence was located in Yemen not Ethiopia. As said she colonised part of E. Africa.with Marib as her capital. Sabean scripts were found in E.Africa but the Sabean script was formally a Yemnite script not E.African and no equivalent centre of Sabean City was found in Ethipia/Eritrea but found in Yemen.

[MooPotPie]

@sabreena FROM WIKI: "The actual location of the historical kingdom is disputed, with modern evidence tending toward Yemen in southern Arabia, but other scholars argue for a location in either present-day Eritrea or Ethiopia. Since the two territories are separated by a narrow channel it is possible that at various times the kingdom included territory in both Yemen and Ethiopia, and may be equated with the Sabean kingdom."

The Sabeaon kingdom in Yemen colonised Ethiopia that's why there are legends in Africa about the Queen - doesn't mean she was from Ethiopia. Recent archaeological evidence proved that Marib which was the centre of her power was based near the old city of Sana in Yemen.

Listen to yourself arguing about whose queen Sheba was…….why don’t you ask yourselves the question ‘who was I’ and ‘who am I today’. Stop bickering against each other and exposing your racist and ignorant venoms here for the whole world to see! There are clear scripts about who queen Sheba was in the bible, a site mark of her kingdom in Ethiopia, Eritrea/Erythrea and Arabia. I like to change the situation I face from ignorants because of the colourer of my skin but I wouldn’t change me.

[siamesecatful]
