The ruins are not the palace of the Queen of Sheba as our guide explained to us, but the ruins of Dungur, something a wealthy Aksumite built around 400-600 AD. And now the tricky part, our guide explained to us that there is a strong possibility that the actual palace ruins lie beneath Dungar as archaeologists have uncovered more ruins beneath these ruins. But also remember that it is local folk law, passed down through generations, that this is the site of the Queen of Sheba's palace.
