Sheba, or Saba, was an ancient South Arabian kingdom in modern-day Yemen whose inhabitants were known as the Sabaeans or the tribe of Sabaʾ which, for much of the 1st millennium BCE, were indissociable from the kingdom itself. Modern historians agree that the heartland of the Sabaean civilization was located in the region around Marib and Sirwah. In some periods, they expanded to much of what is now modern-day Yemen and even parts of the Horn of Africa, in modern-day Eritrea and Ethiopia. The spoken language of the Sabaeans was Sabaic, a variety of Old South Arabian. The Sabaeans founded the Kingdom of Saba in the late second or first millennium BCE, considered by South Arabians and the first Abyssinian kingdoms to be the birthplace of South Arabian civilization, and whose name carried prestige. The first Sabaean kingdom lasted from the 8th to the 1st centuries BCE. This kingdom can be divided into the mukarrib period, where Saba reigned supreme over South Arabia, and the kingly period, a long period of decline to the neighbouring kingdoms of Ma'in, Hadhramaut, and Qataban, ultimately ending when a newer neighbour, Himyar, annexed them. Saba was originally confined to the region of Marib (its capital) and its surroundings. At its height, it encompassed much of southwest Arabia, before eventually declining to the regions of Marib. Saba re-emerged from the 1st to 3rd centuries CE. In this time, a secondary capital was founded at Sanaa, which has become the capital of Yemen today. Around 275 CE, the Saba civilization permanently came to an end after another annexation by Himyar. Saba existed alongside several neighboring kingdoms in ancient South Arabia. To their north was the Kingdom of Ma'in, and to their east was the Kingdom of Qataban and the Kingdom of Hadhramaut. The Sabaeans, like the other Yemenite kingdoms of their time, were involved in the extremely lucrative spice trade, especially including frankincense and myrrh. They left behind many inscriptions in the monumental Ancient South Arabian script as well as numerous documents in the related cursive Zabūr script. They also interacted with the societies in the Horn of Africa where they left numerous traces, including inscriptions and temples that date back to the Sabaean colonization of Africa. This kingdom came to play an important role in the Hebrew Bible and appears in the Quran (not to be confused with the Quranic Sabians). The story of Solomon and the Queen of Sheba has raised questions of historicity, although recent research indicates that Saba was involved in the lucrative incense trade as early in its history as the time of Solomon. Traditions about Saba particularly feature in the tradition of Orthodox Tewahedo in today's Yemen and is also asserted as the home of the Queen of Sheba, who is left unnamed in Jewish texts but is known as Makeda in Ethiopian texts and as Bilqīs in Arabic texts. According to the Jewish historian Josephus, Sheba was the home of Princess Tharbis, who is said to have been the wife of Moses before he married Zipporah. Some Islamic exegetes identified Sheba with the People of Tubba.
