And by about 330 Common Era, or AD, as some people say, Ezana had made Christianity his kingdom's official religion. He was a pagan before that. And after Armenia... Aksum was the second kingdom in the world to assume Christianity as its official religion. And Aksum, of course, is in northern Ethiopia, also incorporated parts of Eritrea today.

And that was the case, that Christianity was the official religion of Ethiopia and Eritrea until 1975, when the The Ethiopians all believe in their history, beginning with the story of King Solomon and the fact that King Solomon had an affair which gave rise to Menelik with the Queen of Sheba. So I say that again, that King Solomon had an affair with the Queen of Sheba. She had a son.

And the Queen of Sheba, the Ethiopians believe, is from Ethiopia. She had a son, Menelik I, who became the first emperor of the Solomoned dynasty. And that continued with some interruptions right until 1975. And so this is all recorded in the books called the Kebre Nagast, which were written in the 14th century by probably several authors.

And it means the glory of the kings in the Amharic language. And that's the story of how Ethiopia came into being for most Ethiopians today. There's some question as to whether the Queen of Sheba could actually have coincided with Solomon because that would have made her... living around the 10th century BCE, hypothetically speaking.

And if you go to Ethiopia, outside Aksum, in a place called Dongur, there's this amazing, the ruins of an amazing castle with remnants of a huge kitchen and bedrooms and so on. It would have been a very fine palace. And people will say to you locally, that is the home of the Queen of Sheba. Archaeologists would say that it dates to a much, much later era and probably was the home of a nobleman.

Yeah, that was King Caleb, who was a very devout Christian king. And he went into southern Yemen in order to help his fellow Christians, because it was said at the time that they were being persecuted by peoples who followed the Jewish religion.
