My question is this...has any evidence of her been found other than the Bible and what the native Ethiopians(I think it's them) have said?

The so-called legend of Queen Sheba in Ethiopia is something that the Zagwe Dyansty in Aksum made up to justify their lineage connecting back to Solomon. Kebra Nagast,where the connection to Ethiopia is often aleadged, is nothing more than good political literature. She was possibly a real figure in history but like Solomon Moses or the rest good proof does not exist.

The first Ethiopian dyansty was Aksum which was not founded by Memelik.

People don't realize that racist white scholars use the Sheba stories to usurp Aksum from being an an African civlization. We know from the archaeological evidence that Aksumite architecture,culture,and language was completely Kushic in origin. Southern Arabians from Yemen did not colonize nor found ancient Aksum. Some have even suggested the Aksumite stela was inspired by Merotic architecture. Either way Aksum was an African creation.

The early people of southern Arabia were not the same racial stock as the northern Arabs. Most like the modern day southern tribes like the Hadara are closely related to the people from the Horn of Africa.

Sheba is a legend and not a real person.

African people need to stop playing into lost Hebrew stuff because it just robs indigenous Africans of historical accomplishments.
