Kush or Cush, Menroe And The Legendary Queen Of Sheeba

The existence of Kush is dated earlier than 4,500 B.C.E., before it's decline after being attacked by Christians from Axum (Ethiopia) in 350 C.E. At least seventy-five generations of Kandake (queens) & Alara (kings) survived in Kush long after the occupation of Egypt by the Romans during the Christian era. Nubian Deities have greatly influenced traditional African, Asian and Western religious concepts.

Nubians were the first to construct Pyramids & temples, having ruled K'MT for several dynasties. They were renown for their prowess as hunters, fighters and skilled artisans in iron, copper, gold and pottery. They traded with the Far East and Middle Eastern empires; invented their own form of writing (i.e. Hieroglyphs and Meroitic script) and colonised many lands. The first solar calendar is introduced by Kemet and Kush. 3800 BCE. Emergence of earliest Nubian civilization. 3758 BCE.

The world's first religious principles are written by the Kushite, King 'Ori' (right & wrong). However taken from Ifa Sacred Poems was a story about "Ori" (head) the king of the body. Ori (head) was the only divinity that broke the kola nuts that Orunmila kept at his shrine. Ori's wish was for a permanent abode (home) and plenty of followers. Upon hearing the news of the finally broken Kolanuts, all the other divinities agreed, (since they all tried to break the nuts) that the "Head" was the right divinity to the Kolanuts.

Almost immediately the hand, feet, body, stomach, chest, neck etc, each of which before then had distinct identities, all assembled and decided to go and live with the Head. Together, they all carried the Head high above as the king of the body. It is on account of the role-played by Orunmila in his fortune that the head touches the ground to defer and revere to Orunmila to this day.

THE QUEEN OF SHEEBA
'The Jewish Talmud', also contains oblique references to the story, as well the New Testament where Sheba is referred to as "The Queen of the South." There is, in addition, a fairly detailed account in the Koran, echoed in several Arabic and Persian folk tales of later date, (in which she is known as Bilqis). Further afield, in southern enigmatic stone ruins of Great Zimbabwe are said by the local Mashona people to have been the palace of the Queen of Sheba, and tribal elders still repeat their own fully evolved version of the legend.

Of all these different narratives, however, it is in the Ethiopian variant (where Sheba's name becomes Makeda) that is the richest and the most convincing, despite the fact that it does not seem to have been set down in writing until medieval times when it appeared in the Kebra Nagast (Glory of Kings), the Ethiopian national saga. In addition, the Yoruba of West Africa also claimed to have the Staff of Queen of Sheeba in Ile Ife.
