Although each theory stands alone and can be taken as a starting point for further investigation, the overall implication is that the Queen's visit was not intended as a chronicle of some illustrious Arabian ruler seeking the king's wisdom but rather, it was a reminder of \u003cem\u003ethe\u003c\/em\u003e most castigated woman in the Hebrew Bible, Nitocris, wife of Nabonidus, King of Babylon (556-539 BCE). Two previous investigations, \u003cem\u003eShe Brought the Art of Women\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eArabian Sinai\u003c\/em\u003e, set a new paradigm for the interpretation of the Song of Solomon and the exodus narratives, placing the stories of Abraham, Moses, and Solomon firmly in the 6th Century BCE. Nabonidus and Nitocris' relationship was based on arcane rituals, secret initiations, and the drinking of a psychedelic, addictive potion; the \"Queen of Sheba\" epithet preserves this influence on the king as a caveat. Subsequent additions to the simple legend played with other associations to serve changing needs but the link to Nabonidus and Nitocris could never be lost, even if their original histories had been long forgotten.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Janet Tyson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1739315472\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781739315474\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Piristu Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 142\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.39d","brand":"Janet Tyson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48519293272319,"sku":"9781739315474","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b035c083-e138-4d60-932a-b2f14ad212d1.jpg?v=1778737203","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nabonidus-and-the-queen-of-janet-tyson-9781739315474","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
