NO. The Ethiopian Jewish community is relatively old, but not older than the communities that trace their lineage back to places in the Middle East (like Iraq, Iran or Egypt).

The falaasha Jews are and old sect but not the oldest by far. The Hemrophelidite Jews are actually the oldest considering that they started the religion from smoking what is now known today as opium. The hallucinations that they experince made them actually belive that there was a Jewish god and that he was telling them what to do and all of that fun stuff. Even though the hemrophelidites had nothing to do with the tora or of the Jewish synagoge they were still the first to actually belive and worship the Jewish god.

Who are the ethiopian Jews?
A study by Professors Lucotte and Smets has shown that the genetic father of Beta Israel (Ethiopian Jews) was close to the Ethiopian non-Jewish populations. This is consistent with the theory that Beta Israel are descendants of ancient inhabitants of Ethiopia, not the Middle East. Hammer et al. in 2000, and the team of Shen in 2004, arrive at similar conclusions, namely that the DNA of the Ethiopian Jews probably indicates a conversion of local populations. A 2012 study showed that while primarily related to the local populations, Ethiopian Jews have very distant genetic links to other Jews, and are likely descended from a few Jewish founders. It has been concluded that the community began when a few itinerant Jews who settled in Ethiopia in ancient times, converted locals to Judaism, and married into the local populations. It has been estimated that this happened some 2,000 years ago.
