0:11.0	share a similar story about a queen from a land in the South who traveled to Jerusalem to meet King Solomon.
0:16.0	This queen who was said to have come from a land called Sheba not only held a fascination of Solomon, but of people for almost 3,000 years. But did she really exist?
0:25.8	And if she did, where exactly did she come from? Learn more about the Queen of Sheba on this
