King Solomon's Mines

Jews worshipped in tents on the top of mountains, where god appeared or where his voice was heard, until the first temple was built on a threshing floor where the wheat was sifted from the chaff! This was the citing of the first temple, Solomon, the wisest and richest king of Judah, and the temple had two pillars and it contained 3 rooms, the farthest of which was the Holy of Holies. 

     We know of Solomon’s great wealth, and the mines of gold found in Ophir, of three days travel. The box called the Ark of the Covenant and the golden menorah were said to be just two of the great ancient treasures. The Ark was said to be able to miraculously bring success in war. Maybe at the time of the first temple conquest, it was abandoned, or perhaps taken to Babylon in 586BC. The great magical Ark that brought success in war did not always provide success and Solomon’s Temple was destroyed! Cyrus the Great defeated the Babylonians and allowed the Jews to return to their homeland to rebuild their precious Jerusalem Temple.

This second temple contained the menorah which is said to have been taken to Rome in 70AD when this temple was destroyed and the Jews dispersed. 
How can we investigate these temple sites because there is no evidence for the Temple of Solomon! 

It has been suggested that there was a huge mistake in the names of kings and the dates of this one great building. Amenhotep III was a great 18th dynasty Egyptian king who embarked on a great building spree. The description of Medinet Habu sounds identical to Solomon’s Temple! He built it in Canaan, and he is known to have built on Temple Mount in Jerusalem. 

And here we come to ahi ram of Tyre, the place where the great cedars of Lebanon grew. The Melqart Temple also had courts and two pillars, one of gold and one of green stone. What is most surprising is the cherubim were depicted on the Ark and all over the Temple building, however the Jews are not allowed to reproduce the human form. 

The 10 Commandments were originally thought to have come from Egypt, and many of David’s psalms are almost identical to those from Egypt. 

Was the entire Jewish Bible a fabrication, a jealous god wanting what Egypt had in abundance.
