Axum was formed in 1st century BC. Queen of Sheba is believed to be the ruler of northern Ethiopia, Eritrea and Yemen around 900s BC.

There are Ethiopian Jews called Bete Israel(house of Israel) or Falashas(outsiders). Most of them now are Israeli citizens and live there. Few of them also live in USA and in northern Ethiopia mountains.
