There is absolutly no record in the old testement or the jewish historic books that king solomon had a child with queen sheba . I think the story is bogus

This will prove to be accurate. I had the opportunity to examine three dead languages of that region - Eblaitic,Ugaritic & Aramaic, in that order of their age. Eblaitic is the oldest, followed by Ugarite. Of course Aramaic is the language Jesus spoke and was the official language of Assyrian and Babylonian empire. I could find words I recognize and with same meaning in Ebalitic dictionary. And Geez and the other Semitic Ethiopian languages are related more to Western Semitic (Syriac) that South Semetic such as Himiriatic of Hadramout. Or even a stronger proposition could be a link via ancient Egypt. Ancient Egypt has been ruled by many middle eastern empires including Assyrian, Persian and Otoman and to this day no one really knows what ever happened to the Egyptian people following the end of ancient Egypt.

First of all what do these people assyrian armenian got to do with king solomon who was an israelite hebrew

The finding of arameic or assyrian ancestry in some erhiopian ethnic groups can be explained the ghasanid yemeni arabs who conquered syria they share the same ancestry as himtoyats sabeans qatabans etc.
And they have being going back and forth to abysinia
And the habesha have conquered yemen and the inter
Ixing can come from there. And not the israelite king solomon or his father king david

This is the most common Bible story a young Habesha child learns early along with the regular church painting of Nigisit Saba and King Solomon in every church wall. Every priest and peasant layman in the Hamasien region narrates it, none stop, along the living Mai Bela and the Anseba (from Aini Saba) rivers that crosses it where King Melelik the First was supposedly born.
I used to laugh at the semi illiterate church men and the village elders but after reading this, not anymore. In this case, their gut feeling and instinct was better than my science education.
Perhaps not entirely. Luca Pagani of the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute in Hinxton, UK, examined samples of Ethiopian genomes and noticed that some individuals had components of both African and non-African lineages. Delving deeper, Pagani and his colleagues discovered that the non-African genetic components had much more in common with people living in Syria and around the eastern Mediterranean than in the nearer Arabian peninsula. What’s more, the gene flow probably took place around 3000 years ago.

Zack,
The genome does not lie. If those people who provided the genetic sample were related to Yemen, the test result would have mapped it and Yemen could have been part of this article. This article does not and did not say that Ethiopians are not related Yemen, the test simply said these tested Ethiopians have genetic relation with Syrians. That is all!

And I explained how they are related to assyrians do you know the ghassanids they are Yemeni Arabs who have conquered Syria some where between 800 bc and 1200 bc . This is where the gene pole came From not from the Israelites

Zack,
Your statement is an assertion, not an evidence. In order to justify your 'ghassanids' claim, you need to take genome samples of present day Yemenis and compare it with Syrian genomes. That is how you can prove your case. Until then the only proven fact is that those tested Ethiopian are linked to Syria. There is no evidence that those Syrians are Yemeni!!! OK!

I have been wondering for a long time now why the national tricolors of Egypt and Yemen (black, red, and white) are evidently the same colors as those in an 11 thousand years old painting unearthed in Syria back in 2007: World's oldest wall painting unearthed in Syria

  • ألوان الوحدة العربية هي الألوان المستخدمة في العديد من أعلام الدول العربية سواء المستخدمة حالياً أو السابقة، وهي الأحمر والأسود والأبيض والأخضر. استخدمت الألوان في علم الثورة العربية في الحرب العالمية الأولى، حيث دلت الألوان الأسود والأخضر والأبيض على الخلافة العباسية و‌الراشدية و‌الأموية على التوالي، فيما دل اللون الأحمر على دم الشهداء. واستخدمت هذه الألوان لاحقاً في رايات عدة دول عربية، مثل الأردن و‌العراق و‌الكويت و‌سوريا و‌فلسطين.





    The colors of Arab unity are the colors used in many flags of Arab countries, whether currently used or previously, which are red, black, white and green.

    Colors were used in the flag of the Arab revolution in World War I, where the black, green and white colors indicated the Abbasid, Rashidun and Umayyad caliphates, respectively, while the red color indicated the blood of the martyrs.

    These colors were later used in the flags of several Arab countries, such as Jordan, Iraq, Kuwait, Syria and Palestine.
