The “Lost” Mines of Solomon Explained: Treasure Legend vs Archaeology

King Solomon’s Mines and the Timna Valley are often linked to biblical wealth—but archaeology tells a more complicated story. In this documentary-style breakdown, we investigate the ancient copper mining and Iron Age smelting evidence behind the famous “Solomon’s Mines” legend, and why no archaeologist can definitively prove Solomon owned a single shaft. We’ll follow the myth’s explosion after H. Rider Haggard’s 1885 novel and compare it to real desert industrial sites like Timna and the wider Arabah/Arava copper economy. Was this operation controlled by Solomon’s kingdom… or by local groups like the Edomites? And if there was no hidden treasure vault, where did the wealth really come from—trade, tribute, and copper moving through smoke? #KingSolomonsMines #BiblicalArchaeology #AncientHistory #LostTreasure #TimnaValley #Archaeology #documentaryvlog Video Chapters / Timestamps 00:00 - Hook 01:30 - Two Worlds: Bible Wealth vs Victorian Legend 03:50 - The Conflict: “Solomon’s Mines” With No Solomon Proof 06:10 - Inside Timna: Furnaces, Slag, and a Desert Supply Chain 08:30 - The Real Twist: The Mines Go Bust (No Treasure Vault) 10:00 - Conclusion: What “Solomon’s Mines” Really Means Today
