Makeda - Queen of Sheba hotch-podges
Some entertaining `Queen of Sheba' websites and some confused `archaeologists' views of where they think `Sheba' was located.

Having only recently begun to excavate often archaeological sites of the pre-Islamic Sabeans, Minaeans (Minaei) and Gerrhaeans [10] and the later Homeritae (Himyarites) in Yemen and south Arabia, one of the first temples found and deemed impressive enough is now being attributed to the Queen of Sheba without any written evidence. Hasty and preconceived ideas leading educational institutions to participate in expensive projects of that type are doomed to continue the confusion in ancient history studies.

We ought not to forget that during the reign of Queen Hatshepsut/Makeda Egypt parts of Ethiopia and southern Arabia recognized her as their suzerain. Ever since the days of Thutmose II and how he quelled insurections in Nubia extending his influence far to the south, the reference by Josephus calling the Queen of Sheba `the Queen of Egypt and Ethiopia' becomes an understood fact.
