When I was a Classics Major, I did a paper on the Queen of Sheba.

I had always thought she was from Ethiopia. That turned out to be not only incorrect, it also turned out that the Ethiopia of the ancient Greeks was not the Ethiopia of today.

The Queen of Sheba was from what was once South Yemen, now just Yemen.
