Where is the Queen of Sheba actually from?

Where was the Queen of Sheba actually from? The Bible mentions a whole lot of people who remain a mystery to this day, from Adam and Eve to the Antichrist. Naturally, many of these characters haven't been historically verified, and quite a few have been written off as nothing more than metaphors. The Queen of Sheba is one such figure, largely because she only shows up in one Biblical story. The tale goes that she heard King Solomon was this awesome, smart ruler. So she rolled up in all her gold and finery to test him with riddles. Solomon answered every question, and as a result, the queen was pretty impressed. She then gave him gifts of gold and spices, and in return, the (obviously smitten) king gave her "all she desired." And then the queen sauntered off back to her own land. However, the queen is way too cool to just be featured in one Bible story. the country that claims the Queen of Sheba most strongly is Ethiopia. There's a lot of weirdness around King Solomon getting it on with the queen. There's no solid proof that it happened, and a lot of it is told through folklore. But one thing that would make total sense is the political intrigue around the Queen of Sheba's land. After all, folks were constantly going to war over territory. And King Solomon may have been wise, but even he might have fallen for all that potential gold and incense. Well, the Ethiopian people believe that their first emperor, Menelik I, was indeed the son of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. The Queen of Sheba, known in Ethiopia as Makeda, is mentioned in both the Bible and the Quran. The Bible discusses diplomatic relations between this monarch and King Solomon of Israel, but Ethiopian tradition holds that their relationship went deeper: Makeda's son, Menelik I, the first emperor of Ethiopia, is said to be Solomon's offspring. Whether this tale is true or not, Christian Science Monitor confirms that Ethiopia had a lot of interaction with Israel and it's neighboring nations back in the day as a "gateway country" to the Middle East. Need proof? Well, present-day Ethiopians' DNA is 40-50 percent based outside of Africa. Languages that originated in the Middle East are spoken in Ethiopia, and the two regions even share farming techniques and crops, suggesting communication over time.
