It has since been revised 3 times;

1) During the time of king Fasil the Gonderian, 1650-1658, this was when Mdre BaHri lost the war to the Amhara. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasilides

2) During Italo-Eritrea at Mai Lham in 1935. It is also in this time that Eritreans (Mdre BaHrians) corrected their genealogy from the Gonderian legend of a common "Abyssinian and Mdre BaHrian Jewish" ancestors; the children of the Queen of Sheba and King Solomon. The house of Gonder had forced them to change their genealogy so that the coming generations would be brainwashed to believe that they were of the same ancestry as the "Abyssinians"; Tgray and AmHara. However, with the coming of the Italians, the Mdre BaHrians officially corrected this wrongful imposition back to the truth in written form. You need to see other sources for this, e.g. Tarikh Weledo Hizbi Eritrea http://www.amazon.com/Tarik-Weledo-Hizbi-Eritrea-Tigrinya/dp/1496141326
The legend of Queen of Sheba and king Solomon that was misused by the Gonderian rulers as a base for their royalty, is known to be a wrongful serious twist internationally, meaning any book that suggest that Eritreans are of this Jewish line is flawed and incomplete. Now, this is not meant to refute the connection between Saba and king Solomon, nor is it meant to deny Jewish presence in Eritrea and Ethiopia respectively..., what I am saying is that Menelik was not a direct and obvious descendant of King Solomon and Queen of Sheba, and that our genealogy can´t be explained by this Gonderian invention that most international and even some Ethiopian scholars more or less "reject" for its lack of seriousness.

3) During Brito-Eritrea.
