Show Archeologist Reports Finding Ancient Site Of Sheba's Capital MILWAUKEE, WIS. A University Univer-sity of California archeologist has sent back word that he has found in southern Arabia the ancient and long-lost capital of the queen of Sheba. He reported that he had not only found the city of antiquity .from whence the queen went forth to seek the wisdom of Solomon, and not only found it but also found a love that still has people talking after 30 centuries. A few years ago when Mussolini, pretending he was terribly tough, sent his artillery, mechanized forces and bombing planes against the black spear throwers of Abyssinia, the king of that place, Haile Selassie, Selas-sie, became a headline figure, and among the facts noted about his majesty was that he claimed direct descent from Solomon and the queen of Sheba. Sheba, in case you're a little vague about her, was a dark skinned but not black Arabian princess, daughter of a royal family which had crossed the Red sea from Yemen and conquered Abyssinia a fe.v generations before. Being very beautiful, very intelligent, in-telligent, very powerful, very wealthy and having had an affair and a child with the greatest man of the time, this queen of Sheba is naturally a figure both in history and legend. The legends about this beauty of the 10th century before Christ are sj numerous that it is now impossible im-possible to separate them completely complete-ly from historical fact. |
