[excerpt] The queen of Sheba was once one of the most powerful leaders
in the world but there are few clues left anywhere about this woman
who ruled a rich and powerful nation somewhere in Africa – perhaps, as
some archeologists maintain, in what is now southwest Nigeria. Now, in
what may be the site of her last home and gravesite, a University of
Toronto professor is trying to unearth the queen's story – partially
told in the Old Testament – as well as honouring her in the form of a
new Nigerian museum and interpretive centre.
