The legendary King Solomon's mines, sought for some time and the subject of many films of adventure, would have been found: the discovery was announced in the journal of the American Academy of Sciences by an international archaeological team led by Thomas Levy of the University of California, San Diego.
You would find in the south of the Dead Sea, Faynan in Jordanian territory, where the team has carried out excavations from 2002 to 2006 in an old copper mining center, Khirbat en-Nahas. The published study finds that mining had its peak around preserving food without freezing or canning the tenth century BC, a period exactly relevant to the biblical stories about King Solomon. Some objects of Egyptian preserving food without freezing or canning workmanship, an amulet and a scarab prove the story told by the Bible: the attack preserving food without freezing or canning of SESAC, king of Egypt, brought against Jerusalem in the fifth year of the reign of Solomon's preserving food without freezing or canning successor, Rehoboam took place around 925 BC .
Solomon, who succeeded David, ushered in a veritable golden age for Israel: "Everyone ate and drank and spent happy days" (First Book of Kings, 4:20). This is thanks to his wisdom, of course, but also to his wealth, which allowed the construction of the Temple and the palace with precious furniture, made by a skilled craftsman of Tyre, Hiram, "expert in all kinds of bronze work" that made yield copper extracted from the legendary mines.
***************************** THE SENTENCE OF THE DAY Do not summon happy who possesses great wealth; may be better suited to those who can take care of that term by the gifts of the wise and knows how to endure the harsh poverty; who fears dishonor more than death, and does not hesitate to lose his life for my friends or for their country. HORATIO, Odes, IV, 9
I find in the sentence quoted above, "Horatio, Odes, IV, 9" a community of ideas - a sense of belonging preserving food without freezing or canning - of total sharing - in this life - I think stoic. Thanks preserving food without freezing or canning Renoir July 20, 2009 16:59
Horace says with noble words what has become a proverb: money does not bring happiness. There are values preserving food without freezing or canning that matter in life: not wealth but the friendship, not selfishness but selflessness. July 21, 2009 10:02
