"Descent From Antiquity" FROM MOSES: gateway from Africa to Europe
The Kingdom of Kush [Nubia], called [The] "Sudan" ["The Black Land"], the ancient name for Central Africa, that is, the Kushite or Nubian Empire in Africa, whose first capital city was at (a) Qustul [the oldest city in Africa; called the site of the world's oldest monarchy], then, at (b) Khartoum, and, finally at (c) Kerma called (1) the pre-X-Group period c 3000-1000BC.
The Nubian Royal House was not Egypt's "Dynasty 0", as some would want to make it, for they were entirely separate dynasties, ethnic groups, and nations [though contemporary].
The Nubians are called Kushites in history-books, which is their earliest name. The Kushite emperors at one time extended their sway throughout the whole of Central Africa and had a great empire, which the Arabs called “The Black Land”, that stretched from sea to sea.
It has been overlooked by historians that the Moses of Bible fame sired a long line of kings. Deut. 9:13-14 records that God told Moses that "I will make of thee [Moses] a nation mightier and greater than they [the Hebrews]"; yet, though Moses interceded for the people [the Hebrews], and turned away God's wrath (v. 18-19, 22-29) it did not negate God's promise to make Moses a nation.
Legend refers to a civil war in which the main-line of the dynasty [which relocated elsewhere] challenged the descendants of MOSES, founder of the Nation Israel and its religion, Judaism, and his [2nd] "Ethiopian" wife, called T[h]arbis, daughter of Perehu [Piori II], King of Kush [Nubia/Sudan], and, wife, Queen Iteye [Eti] of Punt [= Phut] [prob. Libya]. Moses, "Prince of Egypt", army-commander of Egyptian forces, warred with Nubia, and received the surrender of the royal citadel at Saba, the Nubian city-state later called "Meroe". It is unsure exactly when Moses married the Nubian princess; whether then following the Nubian campaign, or later sent for her? Later, T[h]arbis, who, due to protests of her marriage by Miriam, who was Moses’ sister, during an episode while encamped in the Sinai Peninsula (Num. 12:1), returned to her father’s court in Nubia carrying Moses' son (Josephus, "Antiquities", ii, 10.2), whose name is preserved in ancient texts as Awawa, or spelt: Agaua, who reigned as the first king of a new dynasty of the Kushite Empire, c 1350BC [dates BC are approximate].
The Kushite, or Nubian, King Awawa [Agaua], who may have been MOSES himself; was fiercely disliked by the Egyptians, who smashed sculptures of the Nubian King or anything onto which his name was found written when on one occasion the Egyptians overran the country [Kush/Nubia] and destroyed its capital-city, however, despite their intentions, his name survives!
A later descendant, the Kushite King Nedjeh took over Egyptian forts along the Egypt-Nubia border during a period of the decline of Egypt's power and the beginnings of Nubian expansion, c 1000BC. The descendants of Moses begotten of the Kushite princess became the third dynasty of Kush [Nubia/Sudan], whose emperors during periods held sway over the whole of "Black Africa".
The supporters for the son, or heirs, of Moses, prevailed in a civil war over those of the Kushite/Nubian crown-prince, Qadamawi Akbunas, representing the male-line of the Kushite royal house who relocated to Ethiopia, where he established his descendants as Ethiopia's first dynasty of kings. The first dynasty of Ethiopia at Axum, the Axumite Empire [Ethiopia], was an off-shoot of the Kushite royal house, and indications are that it was its senior-line overthrown by a secondary-line, the Mosaic-Line. The original Kushite dynasty of Ethiopia [52 monarchs] ended in the male-line with an heiress, Queen Makeda, the famous "Queen of Sheba", whose son by King Solomon of Israel, Menelik, founded another Axumite dynasty, which by male-line descent was Jewish by race.
Meantime, the descendants of Moses, styled "Prince of Egypt", onetime heir to the Egyptian throne, ironically finally sat on Egypt's throne as Pharaohs, which was Egypt's 25th-Dynasty. It was at this time that the Nubian capital city was transferred from Kerma to Napata, near the Nile's Fourth Cataract, called (2) the Napatan Period 1000-500BC, but in the sixth century BC, after the collapse of Nubian power in Egypt, under threat from the Egyptians, who captured and destroyed Napata, the capital city was transferred further south to Meroe, situated between the Fifth and Sixth Cataracts, called (3) the Meroitic Period 500BC-AD339.
The Kushite Emperor Arkamaniqo [GK: Ergamenes], called "the Nubian Alexander", was famous throughout the civilized Mediterranean world, circa 275/250BC. He conquered the whole of Central Africa, and warred with King Ptolemy II "Philadelphos" of Egypt [285-246BC] in his expansion northwards.
The Kushite [Nubian] royal house also gave Meroe at least three queens whose name was Candice: (1) the Nubian queen Candice whom Alexander “The Great” slept with 332BC, the mother of one of his many illegitimate sons, who appears to have spawned a new Nubian dynasty [the "Alexander" dynasty], which only produced one king; (2) there is another Queen Candice alive in 30BC, and, she must be identified with Queen Amanirenas, who defeated the Roman forces, under General Petronius, in battles at Aswan, Philae, and Elephantine, 24-21BC; and (3) the Queen Candice alive in AD35 who is mentioned in Acts (8:27), and, who was to later allow the Roman centurions of the Roman Emperor Nero to pass through Meroe on their way to search for the source of the Nile in AD60.
There was an uninterrupted line of succession for over a thousand years until AD 339, when the Kushite or Nubian Empire of Sudan [Nubia] was conquered by King Aeizanes of Axum [Ethiopia]; who took captive the Nubian Royal House back to Ethiopia at first as prisoners, who were later released and became powerful Ethiopian chieftains, whose descendants in Ethiopia became the Agew tribe, whose hereditary chieftains were Ethiopia's Zagwe Dynasty, whose name "Zagwe" is thought to be derived from the words "Ze" + "Agew" [= which means "of Agew"], whose tribal seat was located at various sites, including modern Gojjam, and eventually establishing themselves at Rhoa in the Ethiopian province of Lasta.
Meantime, the crippled Nubian Nation continued to be governed by three rival contenders of the dispossessed Old Nubian Royal House, supported by their own political parties, established three rivaling governments-in-exile; (a) one at Faras, (b) another at Dongola, and (c) the third at Shobo [which was also called the Alwah kingdom], which were the three successor-states to the Nubian Kingdom of Meroe. The dynasties of these three city-states represented three branches of the Meroitic Royal House, meantime, another branch, the Zawge, flourished in the Ethiopian province of Lasta, which is called (4) the sub-X-Group period AD 300s-1300s; after then the Nubians were conquered by Islamic Arabians who destroyed the three Nubian kingdoms. The remnants of the Nubians established themselves in many petty-states in Central Africa on the Niger River, one of which, Mbanza Kongo, capital-city of (5) the Congo kingdom, called the new-X-Group period, grew to be the capital-city of the great Congolese empire, which was the last great native Kushite/Nubian empire in Africa of the Pre-European Period, circa AD 1300s to the 1500s.
The kingdom fell into decline after the death of King Nzinga-Mpangu, whose son, Henrique, was pressured to abdicate by the Portugese, in 1568, ending the great age of the ancient dynasty of the Kushite kings/emperors.
Meantime, the Zagwe [the Mosiac Line] thrived in Ethiopia and even onetime established itself on the Ethiopian throne. quote:
http://www.4dw.net/royalark/Ethiopia/zagwe.htm gives much the same information as "Host Kingdom", and states, the Zagwe usurped the Ethiopian throne and held it about 300 years. There were eleven Zagwe emperors. The last was convinced to step aside and allow the "rightful [Solomonic] heir", Yekonu Amlak, to assume the throne.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(2) Zan-Seyum, 3rd Zagwe Emperor 959-999; &

quote: the name 'Haymanot' is a vernacularization of Hadrahmut, or Himyar, a kingdom in the South of the Arabian peninsula, with which Axum and/or Abyssinia had had dealings, and alliances for years. Perhaps Takle Haymanot's ancestors came thence to eventually assimilated with the Axumites?
response: or, Himyar, whose capital-city was Zafar [Tafar], could have once served as the family's seat during periods of anarchy on the African continent. Takle was the son of the Himyarite chief Qatban Awkan, a Mosiac, i.e., Zagwe, Prince. The family long held to its descent from Moses. His mother, Agraba, was the daughter of the Sabaean king Alhan Nahfan II. The joint struggle against Himyar brought Saba and Axum into alliance. Meantime, the descendants of Moses continued to flourish on their ancestral-estate in Ethiopia, in the province called "Lasta", where the family had earlier been settled by their Ethiopian captors in AD 339 following the destruction of their kingdom, Sudan [Nubia], which once held sway over the whole of Central Africa "from sea to sea". the quote:
http://www.soas.ac.uk/Africa/courseunits/cultural/epc/EPCLECTURE4.html suggests that Mara Takle Haymanot, founder of the Zagwe dynasty, married Masoba-Warq, a daughter of the last Aksumite king, that is, the Ethiopian Emperor Delnaad, whom Mara Takle-Haymanot had overthrown. The phrase, "[...] rise of Zagwe as result of marriage between an Aksumite princess called Mesoba Warq [ëBasket of Goldí] and the Zagwe prince, called Terda Gabaz in king-lists"; there were eleven Zagwe emperors; their heirs bore the title "Wagshum" from 1270 to the Revolution of 1974. The Abdication Settlement grants them the right to sit on a throne, to have the great "negarit" drum beaten for them in salute on certain occasions, and were allowed to maintain their own militia. They were granted the privilege of being seated in the imperial presence, so long as the Ethiopian Emperor was also seated. The Solomonic Emperors honored this treaty until the fall of the Ethiopian Monrachy 804 years later [to 1974].959-999 96.

X(1000)X 97. Mairari, Prince, son of Zan-Seyum, 3rd Zagwe Emperor (above); was the father of two sons & a daughter, who were (1) Kedus Herbe [Harbre I], 6th Zagwe Emperor 1079-1119 [father of Naakweto Laab, 8th Zagew Emperor 1159-1207]; (2) Lalibela, 7th Zagwe Emperor 1119-1159 [father of Yetbarak, 9th Zagwe Emperor]; and, their sister, (3) Qirwerne (below)
1119-1159 98. Lalibela, 7th Zawge Emperor, whose sister, Qirwerne, was ancestress of Queen Elizabeth of Britain, see descent-line below
The most famous Zagwe Emperor of Ethiopia was Lalibela. The "History of the Patriarchs", which usually just refers to the kings anonymously, calls him, "Lalibala son of Shanuda ["the Lion"], of the race of al-Nakba". Other sources add his throne-name, Gabra Masqal, and an epithet, '_be'esi `azzal_', `the strong man'.
There is a story that the Ethiopian Emperor Lalibela, who, accompanied by his "troublesome" sister, Qirwerne, traveled to the Holy Land and visited the Byzantine Emperor at Constantinople. There at the imperial court he and his sister may have met Izyaslav II of Kiev who was there visiting the emperor during the time of their visit. There are also undocumented legends about him and his sister that probably are based on actual events. Everyone of these without exception says that his sister remained at the imperial court at Constantinople after Lalibela returned to Ethiopia. quote: Where, according to Ethiopian history, he had to put down an uprising, or attempted _coup d'état_, spawned by his brother and sister. This is purportedly because of his contact with Lalibela, on pilgrimage. I surmise that it is possible that Lalibela put down his brother and sister, before he went on the pilgrimage. I could not find a definite date for either. Going far from his nation for what should have been a protracted time, he took his rebellious sister with him, in order to keep an eye on her; that the rebel sister was none other than Qirwerne. If this were the case, what would have been more natural than for him to leave her in Constantinople, out of troubles' way? Meantime, the Ethiopian Princess married twice: once [in 1153] to Izyaslav II of Kiev (d1154) to whom she bore his posthumous daughter, Euphrosyne; according to Philipp Strahl's "Geschichte des Russischen Staates", 3 vols. (1866), and, upon returning to Constantinople after her first husband's death, Qirwerne married secondly [in 1158] to Andronikos Dukas Kamateros (d1176), by whom she was the mother of Euphrosyne (d1211), wife/empress of the Byzantine Emperor Alexius III (d1210), which gives a "gateway" from Africa to Europe [see below] [note: the story about the involvement of an un-named widow of an un-named king and Andronikos Kamateros [reminds one of the story of the sister of England's King Henry VIII, namely, Princess/Queen Mary, widow of King Louis XII of France, and her subsequent involvement and marriage to Charles Brandon] is the basis for the identification of the second husband of the Ethiopian princess, for circumstantial evidence clearly identifies this un-named widow to have been Lalibela's "troublesome" sister, Qirwerne, and the un-named king to have been Izyaslav II, her first husband who died shortly after their marriage.]

interregnum: rivaling contenders of the Nubian royal house, supported by their own political parties, established three rivaling governments-in-exile; (a) one at Faras, (b) another at Dongola; and (c) the third at Shobo, also called the Alwah state; the kings of (a) Faras, claimed descent from one of the sons of Manitrarize, the 120th & last king of the Nubian Nation, & last Kushite emperor, who escaped capture by the Ethiopian conquerors (AD339), and held out at the Faras Fort; however, the kings of (b) Dongola descended from "Prince" Yesaka, son of "Prince" Angabenawi, son of Teraramani II, the 117th King of Nubia, the cousin of the Nubian Queen Amanipilade, mother of Manitrarize, the 120th & last king of the Nubian Nation, & last Kushite emperor; while, the kings of (c) Shobo/Alwah, descended from the brother of "Prince" Yesaka, namely, "Prince" Butale, the two of whom established themselves in their strongholds at the time of the conquest of Nubia/Sudan &/or Central Africa by the Ethiopians (AD339). Meantime, the descendants of the former Nubian royal house in exile in Ethiopia came to be known as the "Zagwe", and were given the Lasta province as their estate. The Zagwe reigned as hereditary kings in Ethiopia's Lasta province from around AD350 until the Ethiopian Revolution in the 20th Century. [Reminds one that the former imperial house of Aztec Mexico & Central America still resides in Spain, the country of their conquerors, although no longer as captives.]
