It has been suggested that the story of Xi Wang Mu is connected with the Queen of Sheba whose mother (a jinni), like Xi Wang Mu, had power over female jinn (genies). According to Persian traditions the Queen of Sheba was the daughter of a Chinese ruler. The Queen of Sheba and Xi Wang Mu both met powerful monarchs, grew fragrant plants, were known by geographical titles (Queen of the South and Queen of the West) and the stories of both queens originate from the same era (ca.1000 B.C.E.) The Queen of Sheba, (Hebrew מלכת ×©×‘× , Arabic ملكة سبأ , Geez: ንáŒáˆ¥á‰° ሳባ Nigista Saba), referred to in the Hebrew scriputures (Old Testament), Bible books of 1 Kings and 2 Chronicles, the New Testament, the Quran, and Ethiopian history, was the ruler of Sheba, an ancient kingdom mentioned in the Jewish scriptures (Old Testament). ...
