Archeologists assumed that the legend of the Queen of Sheba, who ruled what is now Ethiopia and Yemen 3,000 years ago, was simply a Biblical legend--until now. She purportedly brought the then-ruler of Jerusalem--King Solomon--a vast quantity of gold from her private mine, but nobody has was able to locate the treasure or the mine. But now the goldmine may have been found: An enormous mine has been located in the territory that was once the Kingdom of Sheba, along with the ruins of a temple and a battlefield (implying that battles were fought over the gold). Locals still pan for gold in the nearby river, but were unaware of the ancient mine.
