	THE QUEEN OF SHEBA
		Here we are told that the Queen of Sheba, lured by Solomon's fame, journeyed to Jerusalem with a great caravan of costly presents and there "communed with him of all that was in her heart".
		One thing is certain: the veneration of the Queen of Sheba - and her appropriation as the spiritual ancestress of the Ethiopian people - began much earlier than the fourteenth century (when the Kebra Nagast was written); indeed, the cult of Makeda probably substantially predates the Christian era.
		As a historical figure she is thought to have lived in the period between 1000 and 950 BC and, despite a rival claim from South Arabia, the evidence is extremely strong that her capital was indeed in Abyssinia - although not necessarily in the city of Axum.
