Is it right to recognize Haile Sellassie as the king of kings the lords of lords the conquering lion of the tribe of Judah?
Ethiopia is part of a Semitic world - Amharinya is a Semitic language, and the Amharic people may have migrated from Yemen, just across the Red Sea. There may even have been a Jewish presence (as there was in Arabia ) long before the coming of Christianity. For centuries a small group of Amharic people, the Falasha, have described themselves as Jewish.When the Zagwe dynasty was overthrown in 1270 CE, the new dynasty was anxious to stress its legitimacy. In the Kebra Negast (The Glory of the Kings), they emphasised the descent of the kings from King Solomon, with the legend of Sheba returning to her Ethiopian realm pregnant with Solomon's son, Menelik I.Whether or not Haile Sellassie could really trace his lineage all the way back to 1270, there was certainly a tradition among both Jews and Christians of Ethiopia to see their kings as descended from the legendary King Solomon of Israel. The grandiose titles reflect this.
Was the Queen of Sheba from Ethiopia?
She was Ethiopian Queen, also called "Makeda" the 24th queen of Saba family. She rigned not exactly at the present Ethiopian boundary, but includes the nile vally part and her seat was at "Meroe" earler called saba, located at northern Sudan. Ethiopians are partly her descendans, while the other half is "King Solomon". The tradition/tale of her history went further to Yemen after the famous King "Ezana" concurred Yemen around 6 A.D. The Yemeni inherited the tale of Kings from Ethiopia as preched by Ezana, but it is fact that they are also genetically Ethiopian.
