Yekuno Amlak

Known as the historical equivalent of the traditional Menelik, he started the dynasty a few years after the Samalas Eruption: Did he travel from Jerusalem to Ethiopia after the medieval Trojan War & bring the Ark of the Covenant finally to Axum?

However, he never claimed to be a descendant of Solomon, as also some rabbinistic scholars do, so the propaganda against the Zagwe might have been inspired by different histories:

• About 400 years after the official foundation of Karakorum, his descendants founded Gondar; before they were wandering nomads in tent camps
• The origins of the Zagwe officially go back to the murder of the king of Axum by Gudit, which resembles the story in the book of Judith; researcher Anatoly Fomenko even claims the book of Esther is also a duplicate

In the above mentioned book, Haman is considered to be an Amalekite; in the Quran he is described as opposing the Jews & is ordered by the pharaoh to build a Tower of Babel, making the following duplicates possible: Eshter = Ishtar & Mordecai = Marduk?

As researcher Simcha Jacobovici suggests, the chronology of the book of Exodus is probably incorrect: As Cush might be identified as Midian, where the Jews fought Amalekites, do Rufaa & Damot compose the toponym Rephidim?

The name of the capital of Beta Israel seems to have been inspirational for some authors:

• Gondour, where Mark Twain situated a Curious Republic
• Gondor, by John Ronald Reuel Tolkien situated in Middle Earth

The father of founder Fasilides lived around the Time of Troubles: Did he actually as well, as also might have happened with migrants to Manchuria & Afghanistan, for the latter taking a chronological shift of 100 years into account, flee the Romanovs?

Abay Sinai

Considered as being the cradle of humankind, Ethiopia is known as the oldest independent country of Africa. Besides that, also two rivers streaming through the Garden of Eden originate here:

• Black Nile, also known as the Pishon or Atbarah
• Blue Nile, also known as the Gihon or Abay

'Ethiopia' in Greek is 'Αἰθίοψ', in Latin becoming the unvocalized 'HBST', which is 'Habashat' in Arabic & leads to the Latinized 'Abyssinia'. Officially it means 'burned face', refering to a darker skin colour, but another explanation is possible:

• Abay, the river streaming through Cush to Eden
• Sinai, the mountain where burning bushes appeared to Moses

According to Immanuel Velikovsky, the burning bushes refer to an erupting volcano; the location of the mountain also is debatable. In Antiquities of the Jews, the prophet waged a war against Cush, besieged Meroë & even married there: Should the Sinai be located near the Abay & is the history of Midian a partial duplicate?

According to Helena Blavatsky, the actual inhabitants of the Abyssinian highlands migrated there from the Indian subcontinent: Through Iran, crossing the Fertile Crescent, passing by what is known as the Sinai peninsula & finally along the Nile reaching their destination. This thesis supports Indigenous Aryanism, offering the possibility Moses might be a partial duplicate of the following lawgivers: Menes, Minos, Mannus, Manu, ...

According to Kebra Nagast, the son of Solomon & Makeda was Menelik: He brought the Ark of the Covenant to Axum, housed in a chapel near the Church of Our Lady Mary of Zion. Claiming to be descendants of the tribe of Dan, many accounts of the Beta Israel consider the mentioned epic as propaganda to delegitimize the Zagwe: Were they once joined with the Bene Israel, as was known by Maimonides?

According to Gadla Lalibela, their most famous king constructed his own Jerusalem, with Bete Giyorgis as best preserved one of the eleven rock-hewn churches, similar to the Ellora Caves. Which lost technology was available to construct them?
