Infos

The Kebra Nagast or Glory of Kings is a 14th century Ge'ez language collection of legendary cycles. The text's primary purpose is to establish the legitimacy of the Ethiopian monarchy by claiming a divine connection to King Solomon and the Ark of the Covenant, which is said to be housed in Ethiopia. The Kebra Nagast is a significant cultural and religious document in Ethiopia and has played a crucial role in shaping the country's national identity. With its unique blend of Jewish, Christian and indigenous belief, it has also had a profound impact on Ethiopian Christianity and religions of the African Diaspora, like Rastafarianism.
