### Chapter 11. The List of Ethiopian Kings from Queen Saba until King Bazin.

What the kings of Ethiopia fulfilled in the period when the rule of Egypt endured in Ethiopia, when the Egyptians came, after Amin Amhat I and Tsaw'e, who we said were troubled to be defended, and likewise until 1200 when the Egyptians left, and the kings of Ethiopia after them until the listed Tewasya Dews, ie until him who was before the Queen of Saba and reigned from 1026 to 1013 BC, nor about their other connected history, proof was not found, apart from their list of names. And perhaps, cooling off after Nubian Ethiopia was released from the Egyptian yoke, the territory on both sides of the Red Sea didn't remain without becoming illustrious. For all the histories we have seen so far whatsoever, they succeeded in the era before the Queen of Saba. And after the list of kings we shall see next, it will be the history beginning from the Queen of Saba that we shall regard. And when we see these kings, when we are persuaded that the kingdom of Aksum, that was later renowned in our northern Ethiopia, and whose fame we knew until today in writing and in statues, was quite unfamous and unknown in the era a little earlier, up til now, ie beginning from at least 1000 BC until the time of the birth of Christ; it is however guaranteed by much information that before this era it was in the region in Aksum and its area. Being as at first Napata, next Meroe, and then Aksum were the capitals of the Ethiopian kings, the Queen of Saba however reigning in the city called Saba in the ancient pronunciation, and found in the neighborhood of Aksum, will be what we are persuaded next.

[I have again added the names in Tekletsadek where spelled differently, and the years I believe to be correct. The years given here in the Ethiopian Calendar from #15 on are essentially correct, as the numbers are greater by 7 than the European calendar years. Names #9 and #13 should be moved chronologically to between #11 and #12.]

(*Short History of Ethiopia's People* by Aleqa Taye)

In the 6th year that Bazin ruled in Ethiopia, Jesus was born in Bethlehem, and also the era calculation began to be counted as one like a new future.

It is in the appearance we saw, that Dr Reisner and other writers of our country, and likewise records of history that have spiritual content, have listed the list of Ethiopian kings arising from the Queen of Saba. And it is known that the principle of all is our country's *Kebre Negest* and *History of Kings*.
