The literary style of the Kebra Nagast is unique, blending biblical narratives with Ethiopian folklore, providing readers with a fascinating glimpse into the religious beliefs and traditions of the time.

The Kebra Nagast serves as a valuable source for scholars interested in Ethiopian history, religion, and literature, offering insights into the country's complex cultural tapestry.
