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?
