I read it but I'm in the same boat you are. I can't remember where - but the
story seemed plausible. Mercenary Jews had a settlement significant enough to
raise a Temple on Elephantine Island in the Nile which is an ancient gateway

(Herodotus,Olmstead) and there were ties between ancient Jerusalem and
Ethiopia...
