In Search of King Solomon's Mines

Tahir Shah

In Search of King Solomon's Mines
King Solomon, the Bible’s wisest king, built a temple at Jerusalem heavily adorned with gold from Ophir. The location of this legendary land has been one of history’s great unsolved mysteries. In this book, Tahir Shah takes up the quest, using as his leads the earliest form of the Bible, as well as geological, geographical and folkloric sources. The evidence points towards Ethiopia, the ancient kingdom in the horn of Africa whose imperial family claims descent from Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. Tahir Shah’s account of his journey in search of the facts behind the fiction is every bit as exciting as Rider Haggard’s novel.
