Queen of Sheba

The Queen of Sheba was an ancient ruler of what is now Eriterea, Ethiopia, and Yemen. Her exploits are detailed in many religious texts including The Qur'an and The Bible. Ancient times were much more paternalistic than our society today, so we should be proud of the Queen for controlling a large land mass, amassing immense wealth and having the education/intelligence to test King Solomon (who is regarded as the wisest Old Testament King)
