The Queen of Sheba

c79fa7b9628fe7b6d44b989cde5efc73e8108803.pngHi, I am sorry but i just wanted to show you a picture of a very powerful woman that I am working on. This Is Makeda, The Queen of Sheba as you know her from the Bible. I Really enjoy the works of Solomon in the Bible and researched her. She was the warrior-queen of the lands we now know as Yemen and Etheopia. The stories say she came out of the desert and forged a great kingdom to the south. It was said her wisdom rivaled that of Solomon himself and the stories of thier 'debates' are wonderful. Her ancestrial line was boasted all the way down to 1970 as direct decendants of her blood and her kingdom followed in the line of both Jew and Gentile as many fled to this land after the Romans destroyed Jerusalem around 70 AD.


Like many of you, she came from nowhere and from nothing, yet by her hand and heart built herself into a queen of great stature and a empire that lasted longer than Rome. 'Blessed is those of pure heart, for they shall see God' Who says there arent great women in the Bible.

Yes, thank you dearly for you kind words. It is when she first meets Solomon. His advisors complained to Solomon that Makeda was a Djinn, a evil spirit because she was so incredibly beautiful. the legend said that Djinn had legs of a goat and hooves for feet and that she kept her legs covered to hide them. So Solomon devised a plan to discover the truth and made a 1" deep pool surrounding his throne, thusly when she approached she would have to lift her skirt and reveal her feet to walk through the water. The whole picture shows her lifting her skirt and as like to Solomon's joy revealed human feet.

    there has been considerable popular press on the social impact of misogyny (hatred of women). misandry (hatred of men) seems socially blessed. poor girl. how right you are to hate the evils of men. never mind that harboring hatred burns holes in your soul. those evil creatures are worthy of all the hate we can muster.i have 5 brothers, 5 sisters and 3 sons and 2 daughters. i hold that misandry is...
