The Priceless Treasure Of The Queen Of Sheba
King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba have been synonymous with fabulous wealth for three thousand years, but the Bible and the Quran never say where the gold actually came from. This episode of Myth Hunters follows historians and archaeologists chasing the legend to its possible sources, from Ethiopian highland traditions claiming Sheba as their own queen to Yemeni ruins and the ancient mining districts once worked across the southern Arabian peninsula. Interviews and location footage weigh the rival claims that Sheba's kingdom sat in Africa or Arabia, and the film examines what physical mines and trade routes could have actually produced the quantities of gold described in scripture. Rather than settling for legend, it treats the story as a historical puzzle: real caravans, real mineral deposits, and a genuine trade network connecting the ancient Near East to the Horn of Africa. The result traces how a folk tale about a fabulously wealthy queen may rest on a documented, if half-forgotten, ancient economy.
