Kebra Nagast
In this episode of book reviews with Zen, Joy sits down to discuss a text that reveals a perspective of history that has been forgotten in most of the world. This text, rooted in the ancient past of Ethiopia and its interactions with Israel, confirms and expounds upon a plethora of amazing stories contained in the extrabiblical texts surrounding the canonized scriptures. This is an invaluable resource for any student of ancient history, especially for those wanting to see the Biblical perspective from Ethiopian eyes.
Book Description: The English translation of the Ethiopic Kebra Nagast meaning “Book of the Glory of Kings” was first released in 1922 by E.A. Wallis Budge. Its content is based on the tradition that the Queen of Sheba, visited Solomon to inquire personally of his wisdom. Her visit with him inflamed what is historically regarded as one of the world’s greatest love stories. Returning south, the queen gave birth to Menelik I, Solomon’s son whose desire to meet his famous father was a catalyst for the compilation of the stories found within this text. (362 pages)

I was just wondering how I can get information on this book. What better place than this channel. Zen sir, you are a Holy warrior for God brother.
Awesome review! Like many of the offspring of Noah’s progeny, there are 2 “Sheba” characters, one of Ham, who settled in the area known as Ethiopia, and one of Jokton, who settled in the islands of the Far East, in the land of gold, along with his brothers Ophir, Havilah, and cousin Tarshish. “Sheba city” (Shebu/Cebu City) is still called this today, in the land of Sheba, known as the ‘queen of the south’ of the Philippines.
I'm on board to get it… Always enjoy all your books my brother Zen, bless you and Joy both and thank you for sharing this video….

Looking forward to it! Naga means serpent in Sanskrit. Over a hundred years ago Sir William Jones, pointed out that the ancient Ethiopic and Sanskrit writing are one and the same. Queen Sheeba came from India and her name can also be transliterated as Shiva. Sir William Jones explained that both writing systems went from left to right, Sanskrit and Ge'ez share identical vowels in the same order, and the vowels were annexed to the consonants. They used the term nagari, due to the fact that Sanskrit was originally a lingua franca used by the Ethiopians to communicate with their subjects and other diverse people in India. Because of its possible origin as a trade language, spoken Sanskrit acquired the name "Nagari" 'speech'.
