The explorers said 20 towers of the temples still stand at the site which they gave as the northern edge of the Great Sandy Desert In Arabia as shown In map at left. They reported they had taken photographs of the ruins. If the two are correct in the belief, they have ended a search conducted by scientists for centuries. The land of Sheba in Biblical times was one of the wealthiest In the then known world. The second Book of Chronicles hinted at this wealth in describing the visit of the Queen ot Sheba to King Solomon when It said: "And she gave the King an hundred and twenty talents of gold and of spices great abundance and precious stones." At right is an old steel en graving depicting the Queen's visit to Solomon.
