True.
Ethiopia's oldest written history, "Kebra Nagast" or "The Glory of the Kings," is a medieval text that allows Ethiopians to trace their lineage and history back to the time of Queen Makeda, also known as the Queen of Sheba. According to the "Kebra Nagast," Queen Makeda had a son, Menelik I, with King Solomon of Israel, thereby establishing a royal lineage that Ethiopians claim connects them to the Solomonic dynasty.
