[edit] Haille Salassie

Because Haille Salassie, was a direct descendant of Solomon and Queen Bathsheba, how did European become "Jews"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.163.100.200 (talk • contribs) 22:40, 31 March 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Solomonid dynasty

The article states that Menelik I founded the Solomonid dynasty. However, that article says the Solomonid dynasty did not come about until 1270 upon the fall of the Zagwe dynasty. Or is this based on assertions in the Kebra Negast? For that matter, was the country called "Ethiopia" during Menelik I's lifetime? This needs some clarification. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 20:42, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
