The precise location of this legendary land has been one of history's great unsolved mysteries. Time and again the evidence points towards Ethiopia, whose imperial family claims descent from Menelik, the son born to Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. Tahir Shah's trail takes him to remote cliff-face monasteries, the ruined castles of Gondar, the churches of Lalibela and the mountain of Tullu Wallel.
