Aethiopia (Greek Αἰθιοπία) first appears as a
geographical term in classical sources in
reference to the Upper Nile region, as well as
all certain areas south of the Sahara desert
and south of the Atlantic Ocean. Its earliest
mention is in the works of Homer : twice in
the Iliad ,[1] and three times in the Odyssey .
[2] The Greek historian Herodotus specifically
uses it to refer to such parts of Sub-Saharan
Africa as were then known within the
inhabitable world.[3]
The queen of Sheba story:
Modern archaeological studies support the
view that the biblical kingdom of Sheba was
the ancient Semitic civilization of Saba in
Southern Arabia,[1][2][3][4][5] in Yemen ,
between 1200 BC until 275 AD with its capital
Marib. [6][7] The Kingdom fell after a long but
sporadic civil war between several Yemenite
dynasties claiming kingship, [8][9] resulting in
the rise of the late Himyarite Kingdom .
You are clouding your mind. There are those who work so hard to disapprove the fact that Sheba was African. No matter how hard they try to erase the fact its still evident to this day that Sheba came from the Ethiopia we know today. The mix race we see with Ethiopians is as a result of the "wise men" who were sent back with Sheba to "teach" Solomon's son about the God of his fathers.. Now when you copy paste stuff, try to remove the footnote markings... Lol, first Cush, then Sheba, then Æthiopia all, as you're unwittingly proving are myths- plus copy pasting footnotes! And even if Sheba is present day Ethiopia, is it still Cush? Hahaha! And you say your mind isn't clouded! Cush meaning = black Genesis 10 wrote: 5 By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.
6 And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.
7 And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtechah: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan.
8 And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. Land of Cush — The term Cush is in the Old Testament generally applied to the countries south of the Israelites. It was the southern limit of Egypt (Ezek. 29:10, Authorized Version “Ethiopia,” Hebrew: Cush), with which it is generally associated (Ps. 68:31; Isa. 18:1; Jer. 46:9, etc.). Ezek 29:10 wrote:10 Behold, therefore I am against thee, and against thy rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate, from the tower of Syene even unto the border of Ethiopia. Ezek 30 wrote: 4 And the sword shall come upon Egypt, and great pain shall be in Ethiopia, when the slain shall fall in Egypt, and they shall take away her multitude, and her foundations shall be broken down.
5 Ethiopia, and Libya, and Lydia, and all the mingled people, and Chub, and the men of the land that is in league, shall fall with them by the sword. Now do you get it? And back to the original question, if there are no gold deposits in the Middle East, then gold came from Cush. "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear.

Look at you murchr, quoting the Bible- a mythical text, and object of discussion and investigation, from Genesis, to prove that one of its referents isn't mythical.
Of course I get it! Sheba is Cush, and Æthiopia is Ethiopia, and your mind isn't clouded and mine is!
I think I should keep off indeed from this 'substance' abuse to uncloud my mind afterall!

Even if the bible is a myth, i guess we are discussing this myth after all on this thread and asking questions without dismissing it but trying to understand it. If that is hard keep off those with relevant opinions for the discussion will keep on. Adios! "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear.

But to understand something one needs to move beyond the thing in question and at least have a workable method, and cogent and consistent argument. It's amazing you even think Adam refers to a non mythical entity, hence Noah, then Cush. I believe the course you're taking entails a fallacy.

The bible....that you call a myth...is what is on discussion. You don't get it do you? I think I've already indicated that the myth in the Bible is what's under discussion. And I also know that Cush isn't modern Ethiopia, and neither is Cush, Sheba! Even modern Ethiopia is a different myth. So, what's this that I don't get? That you're affirming the object of discussion through disguise and self contradiction?
