The Queen of Sheba,^[a] known as Bilqis^[b] in Yemeni and Islamic tradition and as Makeda^[c] in Ethiopian tradition, is a figure first mentioned in the Hebrew Bible.

In the original story, she brings a caravan of valuable gifts for the Israelite KingSolomon. This account has undergone extensive Jewish, Islamic, Yemenite and Ethiopian elaborations,^[1][2] and it has become the subject of one of the most widespread and fertile cycles of legends in Asia and Africa.^[3]

Modern historians and archaeologists identify Sheba as the ancient South Arabian kingdom of Saba that existed in modern-day Yemen, although no trace of the queen herself has been found.^[4][5] The Queen's existence is disputed among some historians.^[6]
