Lij Tedla Melaku,
Solomonic Dynasty (Shewan branch, Gondar-Lasta branch)
Zagwe Dynasty
The history of Ethiopia’s monarchy, according to traditional history, begins circa 2500 BC, about 4,500 years ago. It begins with the ancient Cushite kingdom whose king was Sebtah, and the Cushite dynasty would last half a millennium until it was attacked by the ancient Indian kingdom. The Indian kingdom led by Rama (Ramachandra), an ancient king now worshipped as a deity in the Hindu religion, will invade Ethiopia and allegedly defeat Ethiopia’s King, Piori.
The progenitors of the Sabaean-Himyaritic civilization who had fled from Mesopotamia through Yemen from continuous attacks by the Indian kingdom, and had joined in with the Cushites, will reorganize and appoint a king to lead them and defeat Rama. Their king shall be Akehunas, also known as Saba II. Saba and his force shall fight the Indian force and kill Rama, setting Ethiopia free; and they are called ‘Agazians’, which, in the Ge'ez tongue, means liberators, and their language is called ‘Ge’ez’.
The Agazians will then rule Ethiopia for a thousand years until the time of Queen Makeda, known as the Queen of Saba (circa 900 BC). A contemporary of the Israelite king Solomon, the Queen Makeda was a woman who sought wisdom; and hearing about the greatness of Solomon, she will travel to the north, to Israel, to meet with him. Solomon, mesmerized by her beauty and wisdom, shall impregnate her, bearing a child.
When travelling back to her kingdom, the Queen Makeda shall give birth and name the Child Bayna Lehkem. This is Menelik I, Ebna Melek or the Son of the King, Solomon. Menelik I will be raised in Ethiopia’s vast Sabaean Kingdom, which encompassed lands in Africa and Arabia; and once grown, he will visit his father in Judea, in the north across the Red Sea. He returns to Ethiopia with the most sacred item of the land, the Ark of the Covenant, and Israelite followers.
The Ark is said to have been near Lake Tana, in Gojam, for eight hundred years before being taken to the ancient city of Axum. The Solomonic dynasty shall begin with him and last three thousand years. The origins of Ethiopia’s Axumite Empire are believed to be in his Ethiopian Sabaean-Israelite monarchy. Axum’s empire will become among the greatest in the globe and one of the earliest to be declared a Christian state. It had northern and southern dominions which extended to Arabia, central and southern Ethiopia, and parts of Sudan, bejng a veritable empire.
The ancient city of San'a in Yemen was the capital of Ethiopian viceroys until the last of Himyarite rulers. In the late 6th century, after the death of the Ethiopian ruler of Arabia, King Abraha, Axumite Ethiopians of Yemen will be massacred in mass by Persian forces who would arrive by ships; and overnight, the Kingdom’s economic and trade power would collapse.
Following this, the Kingdom would be sandwiched by non-Axumite forces north and south, and its goldmines and resources captured. It would then be violently attacked and ransacked by pagano-Jewish Queen, Yodit, who will create an alliance with a foreign Middle Eastern power, burn Axum, and execute all of its princes except two survivors: Anbesa Wudim and Dil Na’ad. About the year 900, the remaining Solomonic princes shall then flee to Shewa, from Tigré, and a portion of the northern population shall be displaced and resettle in Shewa and other regions of the highlands, as Yodit had made Christianity illegal in her dominions. To date, the term "Wengel" (Gospel) is synonymous with "criminal", as Gospelers (Christians) were regarded as criminals in her dominions.
Succeeding Yodit, a kingdom with pagan Kings, such as Tatawudim, which will convert to Christianity and produce king-Saints such as Lalibela and build wondrous monolithic churches, will be established in Roha, Lasta, called Zagwé. The founder of this dynasty was traditionally "Merari" or Mera Tekle Haymanot, an Agaw adversary of Dil Na'ad, last prince of Axum.
The descendants of the Axume princes who fled to Shewa will establish a court in a province called Beth Amhara, in southern Wollo and northern Shewa. The Zagwes will thrive for over three hundred years, and war with the pagan Damot kings, called the Matolomi, will shake their kingdom. A prince of Beth Amhara, from Boru Meda in today’s Wollo, called "Yekuno Amlak", shall claim direct descent from the Solomonic princes who had fled to Shewa during Yodit’s reign, and will challenge the authority of the last Zagwe king. With the powerful Saint Abuna Tekle Haymanot’s endorsement, Yekuno Amlak will incite a rebellion in Shewa for the return of Solomon’s dynasty.
Yekuno Amlak surrounds himself by Amharic-speaking royals and high warlords and makes Amharic -- the Royal Tongue -- the official language of the court. An agreement is made between him and the Zagwe heir, that the Crown shall be transferred to Yekuno Amlak’s line and that the Zagwe heirs shall not pay taxes and rule the province of Wag as “Wag shums”. The restored Solomonic dynasty will reclaim lost territories and implement sophisticated administrative and military systems similar to Axumite times.
The age following Emperor Yekuno Amlak’s reign until the 16th century will be termed “golden age”, reuniting all Ethiopian tribes under one political center, with the flourishment of an intricate and powerful civilization. Yekuno Amlak's descendants, scholar-warrior emperors from Shewa-Amhara, will follow a pattern of reclaiming the Ethiopian territories of the fallen Axumite kingdom, recovering lands in all directions, resuscitating the old Axumite glory and rebuilding a formidable multi-ethnic empire until the 16th century Ethio-Adelite war.
