I do love archaeology (Buck and I participated on a real dig in England, near the city of Derby). And what better find can there be other than a truly mythological place? Finding King Solomon’s Mines would be almost on a par with Heinrich Schliemann‘s discovery of Troy.
Now I wonder, where did I leave my trowel? 😀
Researchers may have found King Solomon’s mines – CNN.com.
(CNN) — Archaeologists believe a desert site in Jordan may contain the ruins of the elusive King Solomon’s Mines.
The mines have been the subject of films, including “King Solomon’s Mines,” starring Patrick Swayze.
Researchers using carbon dating techniques at Khirbat en-Nahas in southern Jordan discovered that copper production took place there around the time King Solomon is said to have ruled the Israelites.
