Emperor Menelik II of Ethiopia strongly believed in the Bible and its powers, as he would eat a few pages of it whenever he was sick to restore his health. He eventually died at a point when he ate the entire book of 2 Kings.

He was a man of iron will, passion and purpose who won battles, conquered neighboring territories and crowned himself their emperor. He escaped several enemy attacks when he became emperor as he had spies in every enemy kingdom in whom he was able to count on for reliable information.

Emperor Menelik II was not only an achieved warrior but also a man of foresight. He was fundamental in the development and modernization of Ethiopia through the building of schools, communication and transport systems. This made him well known not only in the African region but all over the world.

Emperor Menelik II greatly suppressed slave trade in Ethiopia as he destroyed slave market and towns, he also placed punishment like amputation on anyone involved in slave trading.

Under his reign, Ethiopia was gradually been acknowledged by the most powerful nations of the world as they came to accept Ethiopia as a legitimate independent state in Africa with soveriegn powers.

In no time, diplomacy started as the French became the first to establish full diplomatic representation in Addis Ababa, followed by the Italians, British, Germans and Russians. Soon became a tourist destination for adventurers, fortune tellers and hunters, travelers and spies.
