Chartres Cathedral The Queen of Sheba Go to: Main Page Mysteries Page our Forum |

The Chartres Cathedral in France, south of Paris,
a beautiful example of early Gothic architecture!
Queen of Sheba is in the middle with King Solomon
standing on ther left side while her maid on her feet!
This picture depicts the Arc traveling to Queen
of Sheba (Ethiopia)
On that pillar is a strange inscription in Latin.
Although the Templars had a very good knowledge of Latin, leaving the
scholars puzzled!
Melchizedec, an enigmatic figure, he was
Priest and King just before Solomon time.

How
could Chartres Cathedral and the Queen of Sheba have something in common?
Chartres Cathedral in France was build
around the 12th century by very experienced architects and masons. It was the first Cathedral in Europe
build adapting the finest Gothic style!
The north entrance is devoted to old testament themes and many
statuettes are carved!
As you observe them from a distance, we can for sure say that they are
not a mere decoration but the builders wanted somehow to tell future
generations a story... They decided that if written, it could be
somehow lost or distorted!
In
the north entrance, among Holy Mary and Jesus, Abraham, Moses Samuel and
David are depicted with statuettes and on the left we can clearly recognize
Melchizedek the mysterious king - priest mentioned shortly in Genesis
chapter 14. In his left hand is holding a 'Grail' with a piece of bread
inside and for many is viewed as precursor of Jesus Christ! In the middle we
can clearly see an ox cart loaded with a box which reassembles the Arc
of the Covenant as its dimensions fit the Biblical description! On the
right side we can again recognize Queen of Sheba as a full statue with her negroid maid
on her knees! As the cart is moving to the right, towards Queen of Sheba, we can easily
understand that the builders wanted to tell future generations through
these sculptures the story in the Ethiopian 'Kebra Negast'! The story
goes that Menelic, Queen of Sheba and King Solomon son, took the Arc of
the Covenant from Israel to Ethiopia!
We
understand, it is impossible that this story reached Europe at the 12th
century! That means that the Chartres Cathedral
builders had somehow good knowledge of it! Therefore its understood that
only the Templars (the
knights of Solomon Temple in Jerusalem) could be the ones knowing about
it who were in Ethiopia at around that time and of course they also were the builders
of Chartres Cathedral!
The puzzle becomes more obscure as an
inscription under the ox cart with the Arc says in Latin: HIC
AMICITUR ARCHA CEDERIS. Although it is not written in correct Latin, a
rough translation could be:
Things get on their way; the Arc of the covenant!
Bus loads with 'Templars' from England arrive
each summer to see this magnificently build Cathedral but also to admire at
the same time the sculptures who tell a story!
Puzzling stories to read: The book of 'Parzival'
by Wolfram von Eschenbach a 12th century German poet who apparently got
the Templars secrets and wrote this story of the 'Holy Grail' but
symbolising the Arc!
Later Wagner made it an opera also called 'Parzival'!

Old painting on goat
skin depicting the story
of Queen of Sheba meeting King
Solomon a story written in the Old
Testament!
An ancient palace in Yeha near
Axum believed to be the home of Maqeeba otherwise known as the Queen of
Sheba!.

The
story of Queen of Sheba and King Solomon told in the Bible, has
for sure brought a lot of controversy... Reading this very interesting story told in
the bible in the book of kings chapter 10 and in the book of Chronicles
chapter 9, we find in it plenty details and one can only think that there must
be some truth in it! Also the phrase "king Solomon fulfilled every
desire that the visiting Queen have had..." leaves a lot to
speculate...
Ethiopia is
claiming homage of the Queen of Sheba
which is called Maqeeba.
Yemen also claims the same Queen and her name there was Bilquis! In Yemen
except the great dam in Mareb there is not any significant evidence of
any palaces...
Visiting a very ancient glorious
palace at Yeha in the vicinity of Axum in Ethiopia, I think that
contrary to what archeologists and historians say, there was an ancient civilization
that unfortunately did not leave us any scrolls or engravings... In Ethiopia's
fertile highlands there is a great possibility that an advanced civilization
did exist during king Solomon time!
