This lineage isn't fake. .Brother just read a little bit more, Amda Seyon came almost 100 years after the restoration of the solomonic lineage. When Tekle Haymanot( the founder of the zagwe kingdom) mounted to the throne there was intense rebellion from the Amharas and tigrayans as they zagwes were not of israelite origin. This was stated long before of the so-called arrival of the kebra negast in Ethiopic(Ge'ez). The Zagwes were aware of this and they insisted that they were Israelites by claiming that Tekle Haymanot had married D'il Naods daughter and that he thus had legitimacy as ruler.
What had actually happened is that the Aksumites and many royals had fleed to the Shoa region after Queen Gudit and the Bejas had totally destroyed the kingdom, one prince called Yekuno Amlak traced his lineage directly to Di'l Naod. Yekuno Amlak went to the priests in Lake Hayq(Amhara) and Axum where they confirmed his lineage, he allied himself with the muslim kingdom to the south and overthrew the illegitimate zagwes and built 3 rock hewn churches.
The Solomonic story claims Queen of Sheba went to Israel to meet Solomon, during her stay she got pregnant by Solomon, she gave birth to a son called Meneilik I in Ethiopia. Her son went back to Solomon and took with him the Ark of the covenant as well as bringing 40k Israelites to Ethiopia. The Ark was hidden in Lake Tana (Amhara region) and then moved to Aksum by Ezana
The African bush and world-renowned religious sites are meant to be two separate holiday options. Stories about examining ancient Christian scrolls and searching for the tell-tale bubbles of an irate hippo coming to flip your boat aren’t supposed to share a paragraph.

" Ark of the Covenant, which was allegedly brought to Ethiopia in 400BC and then proceeded to take a tour of the lakes for the next 800 years."
The story says the Israelites mixed with the indigenous Agaw population to form the proto-habeshas, and as I mentioned earlier different DNA studies have proved that Ethiopians got an unexpected influx from the Levant region approximately 3000 years ago which matches perfectly with the Solomonic story
The DNA of some Africans provides clues to the origins of the Queen of Sheba legend, say scientists.

"By analysing the genetics of Ethiopia and several other regions we can see that there was gene flow into Ethiopia, probably from the Levant, around 3,000 years ago, and this fits perfectly with the story of the Queen of Sheba."
After the arrival of the Israelites more or less the whole kingdom was jewish until king Ezana and Sayzana accepted christianity and expelled those who refused to accept the new religion, this people were the bete israel.
Long before the alleged arrival of the "solomonic myth" there was a book called Gedle Asfe in Aksum written in 500-600 AD which talks about the arrival of the Israelites to Ethiopia see pic below and dates the arrival of the Israelites to 980 BC which is exactly the same date the kebra negast says the Israelites came to Ethiopia and also the date the DNA study concluded Ethiopians got an input from levant region.
The Kebra Negast is believed to have existed long before the Ge'ez version and it was initially written in Coptic than later in arabic and finally in Ge'ez and Amharic, it is believed that it perhaps existed as early as 600-700 AD which is long before the decline of Aksum. This is said by the well respected researcher Wallis Budge in the introduction of the Kebra negast book
"it seems to me that we shall not be far wrong if we assign the composition of the earliest form of the Këbra Nagast to the sixth century A.D. Its compiler was probably a Coptic priest, for the books he used were writings that were accepted by the Coptic Church. Whether he lived in Egypt, or in Aksûm, or in some other part of Ethiopia matters little, but the colophons of the extant Ethiopic MSS. of the Këbra Nagast suggest that he wrote in Coptic.
In the succeeding centuries, probably as a result of the widespread conquests of Mu ̇ammad and his Khalîfahs, the Coptic text was in whole or part translated into Arabic, and during the process of translation many additions were made to it, chiefly from Arabic sources. Last of all this Arabic version was translated into Ethiopic, and proper names underwent curious transformations in the process. According to the colophons of the MSS. in the British Museum, Oxford, and Paris, the Arabic translation was made from the Coptic in the 409th “year of mercy,” when Gabra Mas ̊al, commonly known as Lâlîbalâ, was reigning over Ethiopia"
