Even 7,000 years ago Europeans were still likely black. So it wouldn't be surprising that just 3,000 years ago people in Yemeni were pretty much dark skinned.
Really, you're the one that thinks that only an ethnic Arab can be the Queen of Sheba. The rest of the world say she was born in:
I swear, all I did was type Queen of Sheba in the search engine.
Anyways, like I said before, the Kingdom of Sheba contained both parts of Ethiopia and Yemen. There's a high probability that she was born in Ethiopia (which was part of Sheba), married to an Arab King, and traded goods with King Solomon of the North.
After all it's the globally accepted theory. Nobody is saying the Kingdom of Sheba isn't Arabic. But every time that I mention that she is very likely an ethnic Ethiopian, you say "No, she's Arabic".
Every time you say that, it's like you're against the idea that Arabs can practice miscegenation.
You only proved that Sheba was a South Arabic Kingdom that included Yemen and parts of Ethiopia and the Horn of Africa. Repeatedly. Which I repeatedly accepted.
I never said Ethiopians are ugly, and I never claimed you did either so why mention it?
You have posted no proof of that. It is an empty claim. 3000 years is only around 100 generations. Also 7000 years is way longer and the reason why Europeans were darker back then than they are now was not due to climate but due to the fact that most Europeans originated from the same Arab world that we are partially discussing currently since the largest group of European migrants were Neolithic farmers who came from Southern Levant (mostly) some 12.000 years ago. Those people spread farming to Europe and settled Europe extensively.

Practically all historians agree with her being born in Yemen. Which her name, the kingdom she ruled etc. also confirms. She might have been born in modern-day Ethiopia but this is firstly unlikely and even if that occurred then it does not mean that she was an local as ancient Southern Arabian kingdoms ruled parts of Horn of Africa, including Ethiopia.
I mention that because most sources say so including most recent archaeological theories after excavations in Yemen. I already linked to this.
Why do you get this idea when I taught you in another thread that Habesha people (Semitic speaking peoples of Horn of Africa) are a result of Arabians (many millennia ago) intermarrying with locals and moving to Horn of Africa. I have also often educated people here about something called Afro-Arabs. Does not fit into a picture of a person who claims that Arabs cannot marry non-Arabs. In fact Arabs have inter-married/had intercourse with probably more non-Arabs and foreigners than most ethnic groups simply due to our size, historical areas of control and migration. We are after all the second largest ethnicity in the world after Han Chinese. In Latin America alone there are up to 30-40 million people of Arab descent and they have obviously intermarried with many ethnicities that live in Latin America.
In the West I would assume (based on personal experience) that at least 15-20% of all Arabs marry non-Arabs. Whether Muslim or non-Muslim.
Because you accused me of racism which was absolutely ridiculous. So I had to remind you that my past talk does not fit into your accusation at all, rather the opposite. Also you were the one that mentioned skin color to begin with.
But this discussion has nothing to do with the topic and you can believe that she was an Ethiopian. I am not here to convince you of the opposite. There is plenty of material out there that does that job for me.
Besides I mentioned like 15 other ancient Arab queens in that initial post.
Have a nice day/night.
