Ophir is a port or region mentioned in the Bible, famous for its wealth. King Solomon received a shipment from Ophir every three years (1 Kings 10:22) which consisted of gold, silver, sandalwood, pearls, ivory, and apes.

The Books of Kings and Chronicles tell of a joint expedition to Ophir by King Solomon and the Tyrian king Hiram I from Ezion-Geber, a port on the Red Sea, that brought back large amounts of gold, precious stones and of a later failed expedition by king Jehoshaphat of Judah.
The famous 'gold of Ophir' is referenced in several other books of the Hebrew Bible.[c]



The New Testament apocrypha book Cave of Treasures contains a passage: "And the children of Ophir, that is, Send, appointed to be their king Lophoron, who built Ophir with stones of gold; now, all the stones that are in Ophir are of gold."[4]

Could Ophir be Opone, Somalia?


Opone had a legendary status as a extraordinary city of which great civilizations traded with. Namely, from Phoenicia, Egypt, Greece, Persia, Yemen, Nabataea, Azania, the Roman Empire India, and elsewhere,[8]

It was also around because it’s a city in the Land of Punt that was known by the ancient Egyptians during the Old, Middle, and New Kingdom.[3][4][5]

King Solomon had a connection with Ancient Eritrea/Ethiopia & Yemen in ancient times (though whether it’s just a fable is highly debatable). And Ethiopians and Eritreans claim to be his descendants. So it wouldn’t be a surprise that he had deeper connections to the region. Specifically, Somalia or otherwise known during Ancient times; Land of Punt and Macrobia (By the Mycenaean Greeks).

Macrobians were known for their gold. Perhaps your right! It's good to see Ajnabis like you actually doing something of value here. Just cut off on the Somali slander or else.

The only time I ever heard anything about Macrobian is because of those trolls. Did they actually exist? What kind of people were they?
Proto-Somali kingdom that was known to Mycenaean Greece and Ancient Egypt.. it’s basically the Greek name of the Land of Punt..
