I didn't know much about Ethiopia at all prior to reading this story. Actually, I didn't really know anything about it except that it was in Africa.

I really liked that the Queen of Sheba ruled Ethiopia for six years, alone. I think it says a lot about the country. I mean, look at our country: Just now, 2009, we have a black a president in office, and a woman running for president.

Religiuosly speaking, I disocvered Christianity and Judaism are faiths heavily centered in Ethopia. Ethiopia plays a role in Christian and Jewish faiths. The fact that their line of kings descended from king Solomon gives a lot of strength to their country. While Jerusalem is often gone to on pilgrimages, not going to Ethiopia is like only understanding part of one's religion. So this story gives a lot of significance not only to Jews and Christians around the world, it also gives an identity to the peoples of Ethiopia.

Learning about a country's past kings is a great way to help you understand their religion. Not only do we understand about religion, but we learn alot about a country's history and values.
