The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The existence of such a kingdom somewhere in the Horn of Africa was first mentioned by the traveller Benjamin of Tudela in the 12th century CE.
- A late Ethiopian-Jewish legend dates the establishment of a Kingdom of Simien to the 4th century CE, right after the Kingdom of Aksum turned to Christianity during the reign of Ezana.
- Local history holds that, around 960, a Jewish Queen named Gudit defeated the empire and burned its churches and literature.
