Ethiopian Empire
Ethiopian Empire appears on the map from 1272 to 1935. At its greatest recorded extent, in 1908, it covered about 1.13 million km².
One of the realms of Ethiopian Empire (Solomonic dynasty). In 1270 Yekuno Amlak overthrew the Zagwe dynasty and founded the Solomonic dynasty, claiming descent from King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, a story later told in the Kebra Nagast. Its Christian emperors ruled the Ethiopian highlands from moving royal camps, and Amda Seyon and Zara Yaqob expanded the realm and strengthened the Orthodox Church.
