Legend claims that the Ethiopian Queen of Sheba crossed the Red Sea to visit King Solomon of Jerusalem and bore a child from him by the name Menelik I, the first line of Ethiopian Solomnic Dynasty (see translated from Geez Budge, E. A. W. 1922. The Kibre Negest: The Glory of Kings, London. A modern translation is available by Miguel F. Brooks, 1995, Kibre Negest (The Glory of Kings), The Red Sea Press, Asmara).
