    Those who are from the areas in Zimbabwe and northern Botswana do know that they live in the cradle of mankind. Look at the gold that was looted by Rhodes and his posse in Johannesburg. Zimbabwe has more gold in the ground than anywhere on earth.🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼

    Where is king Solomon’s gold ? ,,, simple answer , Spent & Smelted
  • they destroyed the temple in 70AD and then they used the gold to fund the roman collesium i read somewhere. before that in 586or7bc babylon destroyed and lit everything on fire and took all the gold. what that means when they destroyed a temple back then is use the gold for their idols and sell them. if you ever heard the story of rachel putting the idols underneath her on the camel. that’s because she was going to use it to sell it.

    the real mines of King Solomon, looking at an English Roman and Greece era super map of the Old World, only shows the copper mines in the Jordan (and Petra) region. The real gold mines were in Peru (Ophir), where his father King David, "outed" his concubine sons to the western American shoreline colonies and the eastern seaboard. If is Nogah ("Inca"), Incan empire, who was the trade partner, as half-brother to King Solomon and the Gold of Peru (Ophir), alongside the many other (biblically said) Indian peacocks and jungle fowl (chickens), and Chinese trade items that made up the Israelite empire's economic greatness. Any tin of great purity would be in the British Isles up to the time of Jesus, while other Baltic Sea, Black Sea, Mediterranean, Red Sea, Indian Ocean, Atlantic Ocean would hold up other trans-oceanic Pacific and Atlantic sea trades with the Mayan (Maya, Magi, Mihouican) empire for other New World North American, Central American, and South American gold, silver, copper, etc. cocaine found in Egyptian mummies, corn/maize, potatoes, horses brought back from the Americas, and so much more. Real historians won't tell the truth of valid transoceanic commerical and colonial trade routes at this time and even earlier.

    I would have loved to have lived in 1860 Southern Africa .. I live here now .. when you go to the Loweveld it literally “feels” old … I’ve travelled to lots of places .. never felt as “old as place” as Barberton area.. there is lots of gold there … and it’s on the Crocodile River … the slave traders in the 1700 and 1800s used to “come up the river” so if you did mine gold you could get it to the coast and up to North Africa. I don’t believe that King Solomon’s mines actually exist and the Zimbabwe ruins ( and other ruins .. there are lots ) are medieval and African. BUT considering the majority of gold in the World was mined from Southern Africa if there were a King Solomon’s mines and the mines were gold .. Southern Africa would be it
