Between the years 3000 BCE and 1500 AD many Ethiopians and Yemenites settled in West Africa. The relationship of these distant regions was remote but powerful. For this reason, Ethiopian traditions, customs, and culture, are still prevalent in West Africa today, even sharing a belief that they are descended from the massive empire of Israel and Africa that later became known as the Solomonic Empire. This empire was based on the marriage of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba and included a territory of nearly one million square miles and influenced much of the continent of Africa.Although the Bible does not specifically tell us that King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba were married, many writings throughout Africa and the Middle East attest to this marriage. In addition, researchers have opined that the Queen of Sheba coauthored the Song of Songs with King Solomon and identified herself as an African woman married to Solomon. According to this widely held tradition, King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba had a son named Ben Sira who became a powerful African emperor known as Prince Menelik I.This book explores the lives of three descendants of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, whose family ruled a vast empire in West Africa in the year 1617. Leading an army of 2,700 male and female warriors, they attacked a European military consisting of 20,000 British and Portuguese troops to drive the Atlantic Slave Trade from West Africa, in a war that became known as the Great Battle to Free the Slaves.
