And therefore Solomon, peace be upon him, likened this union in the Song of Songs to the union of a bridegroom and a bride, in clinging, longing, and desire, with embrace and kiss.
And King Solomon cried out and said (Ecclesiastes 9:8): 'and let oil not be missing from your head,' for the light on his head needs oil, and those are the good deeds.
Huram, who works for Solomon's temple, is "the son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, and his father was a man of Tyre" (2 Chronicles 2:14).
In 1869 the French explorer Onffroy de Thoron argued, in the journal of the Geneva geographical society, that the ships of Solomon and Hiram sailed across the Atlantic and up the Amazon, and he placed Ophir, Tarshish and Parvaim in its upper basin.
Before giving the proofs that the ships of Solomon and Hiram made several voyages to the river of the Amazons, it is necessary first to show that the peoples of the most remote antiquity knew America.
Alongside the historical facts handed down to us by the ancient authors, which we will summarize in this Memoir, we will show how useful philology is to history and geography, since with the help of this precious auxiliary we have succeeded in discovering the traces of the navigation of the Phoenicians and the Hebrews in the time of Solomon, and in fixing the geographical positions of Parvaïm, Ophir and Tarschisch.
The Tyrians had founded Carthage 250 years before Solomon; and Strabo tells us that this Phoenician colony closed the strait of Gades to the Greeks to prevent them from sailing on the Ocean.
We can now understand why Solomon asked Hiram for sailors to send his ships to Ophir and Tarschisch; and we will show that these famous places of the Bible, as well as Parvaïm, lay in the interior of the river of the Amazons.
The following chronology, from the cataclysm of Atlantis to Solomon, can be consulted with profit: to the dates before the Christian era we add the 1870 years since Christ.
Finally, it is 2,880 years since the Temple of Solomon was founded and Hiram reigned as king of Tyre; and it was shortly after this same period, according to the work of Gosselin, that the Carthaginian admiral Hanno made his voyage around Africa.
The map attached to this Memoir on the voyages of Solomon's fleets will show only the geographical points that are indispensable and those that relate to my demonstration.
When David died, he left Solomon, for the building of the Temple, 7,000 talents of silver and 3,000 talents of gold of Ophir.
To carry out his great projects, which required immense treasure, Solomon turned to Hiram; he managed to interest him in his undertakings and to conclude a firm alliance with him.
Fear of arousing the jealous touchiness of the seafaring peoples of the Mediterranean was no doubt the reason that led Solomon to have the ships he intended for the voyages to Ophir built at Ezion-Geber, on the Red Sea.
Our discovery of the route that the ships of Solomon and of the king of Tyre followed across the Ocean, 2,880 years ago, to reach America, will be demonstrated in this Memoir beyond refutation.
Since their research in every part of the Old World produced no plausible solution, we followed the opposite course, and it is in America itself, and in its least known part, that we discovered the famous places Ophir, Parvaïm and Tarschisch; at these very spots there are still various localities that have kept Hebrew names, while the names of the goods that the ships of Solomon and of his ally the king of Tyre brought back belong precisely to the language of the natives of the region those ships frequented: and these names, as the greatest philologists admit, belonged to a language other than Hebrew.
In the second book of Chronicles [Paralipomenon], chapter III, verse 6, it is said that "Solomon adorned his house with fine precious stones, and that the gold was gold of Parvaïm." This king therefore obtained gold from other places than Ophir and Tarschisch alone.
But here is the crowning point of so many coincidences relating to the empire of Inin: the river of the Amazons, from the mouth of the Ucayali to that of the Rio Negro, still bears the name Solimoes or Solimoens; this is nothing more nor less than the corrupted name of Solomon, given to the river of the Amazons by the fleet of the great king that took possession of it: in Hebrew שלימה Solima, and in Arabic Soliman.
Does it not become more and more evident that Solomon's fleet reigned supreme on the waters of the Amazons, and that it was this fleet that founded the Empire of the Believers, or of Inin, within the limits we have described?
This Hebrew-Phoenician colony lasted a fairly long time; for the triennial voyages of the ships of Solomon and Hiram were repeated several times; it was probably only left to its fate under the reign of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, at a time when the all-powerful Carthaginians allowed no other nation to leave the Mediterranean.
Étienne Quatremère, in his Memoir on the Land of Ophir,[^16] says that the name of Ophir remained unknown to the Greek and Latin writers; he refutes the hypotheses of the various scholars and geographers who have treated this question; he does not accept that Ophir was located on the Arabian Gulf, in Arabia Felix, or in any part of India; he does not even accept that it could have been in Ceylon, Sumatra, Borneo or any other point of the Far East, for the very simple reason, he says, that the ships of Solomon and Hiram took three years on each voyage.
de La Condamine near the river of Solomon and the empire of Inin, or of the Believer, we can fix the limits of the region of Ophir: it lies in Colombian and Brazilian territory, in a triangle formed on one side by the Colombian mountains of Popayán and Cundinamarca as far as the lake of Yumaguari, whose waters feed one of the tributaries of the Orinoco;[^23] on another by the Rio Ikiari as far as the gold-bearing mountain from which that river descends; and by the Rio Yapura.
The disappearance of the fleets of Solomon and Hiram for three years on each voyage they made is now explained, since they lay at anchor in the river that bore the great king's name.
David received the gold of Ophir through the Phoenicians, and the fleet built under Solomon for the same destination left the Red Sea, but never returned to it; it joined up in the Atlantic with Hiram's fleet, which came out of the Mediterranean, and after the single voyage they made together to Ophir, they took the name of fleet of Tarschisch according to the Hebrew text, and the name of fleet of Africa according to the Chaldean text.
We have just said that nearer to the Antis fine gold was very abundant; indeed, for about two centuries the Spanish had the gold-bearing sands of the Upper Amazon washed, and their richness does not seem to have diminished; for today an Indian with a wooden plate can collect up to sixty francs' worth of fine gold in an hour.[^24] It is evidently this region that in Solomon's time received the name of Tarschisch תרשיש: for the etymology of this name is taken from the Kichua language, which is that of the Antis.
Here is what verse 22 of chapter X of Kings says: "At sea, Solomon had a fleet of Tarschisch with the fleet of Hiram.
We would point out that the voyage to Ophir under Solomon brought him only 420 talents of gold, according to chapter IX of the first book of Kings, and that Chronicles, book II, chapter IX, verse 10, completes this account by saying: "The servants of Hiram and of Solomon, who brought the gold of Ophir, brought algum and precious stones." The woods called algum must necessarily have been unloaded at Joppa, which is very close to Jerusalem.
Let us now examine some of the names of the goods that the ships of Solomon and Hiram brought back from their triennial voyages; for, except for the gold, silver and precious stones, known to the Hebrews before these voyages, the other articles imported to Jerusalem arrived there with names belonging to a foreign language; and these foreign names evidently came from the place the imported articles came from.
Almug may derive from the Hebrew word ala אלה, "hard wood or consecrated wood," and from the Kichua word mucki, "fragrant," "smell," whose verb is muka, "to smell"; or else its etymology lies in the two Kichua words alli, "good, excellent," and mucki, "fragrant, or smell." Almug is therefore "wood of good smell," and it was of this wood, according to the Bible, that Solomon had the pillars of the Temple of Jerusalem made.
In the book of Chronicles, chapter IX, verse 10, we read: "The servants of Hiram and of Solomon, who brought the gold of Ophir, brought algum and precious stones," from which it follows that this second kind of wood was brought by both fleets.
The fleet of Tarschisch also brought Solomon birds called tuki, plural tukiim תוכיים: this is the name that has generally been translated as peacock.
In his Lectures on the Science of Language,[^25] the philologist Max Müller tells us that the apes brought to Solomon were called by the Hebrews koph, plural kophim קפים: he could have read kop and kopim;[^26] and he adds that this name did not belong to their language and has its etymology in no Semitic language.
Among the precious goods brought back by the fleets of Solomon and Hiram is ivory, which is designated in the Bible by two names, Schan-abim שנהבים and Karnot-schan קרנות שן.
Six varieties of fossil elephants have already been discovered in America, but we do not know whether these pachyderms were all wiped out in a cataclysm or whether some still existed in Solomon's time; in any case, fossil ivory was in a better state of preservation 2,880 or 3,000 years ago.
This exchange of words between nations of the two continents is the proof that the Hebrews and Phoenicians went to the river of the Amazons, which received from these navigators the name of Solomon.
We therefore owe it to the Kichua language that we have rediscovered the route followed 2,880 years ago by the fleets of Hiram and Solomon: it is Kichua that gives away the secret of their navigation and explains their absences of three years on each voyage, by letting us know that they lay peacefully at anchor in the waters of the Amazons.
They were deeply inspired by pre-Islamic legends from Jewish and Islamic traditions, which claimed King Solomon used a divine carpet to control winds and demons for rapid transit.
The King Solomon Myth: Early folklore features King Solomon—aided by angels or jinn—possessing a majestic carpet that could carry his entire army.
It was with Moses in the desert, with King Solomon, in Egypt —it has traveled through ages, carried by those who understood its significance.
Were biblical figures such as Moses, Abraham, Solomon, and Jesus real historical people?Answer: Yes, they were real historical people.
Solomon the Wise knew of her and desired that she come to his kingdom.
She left with Solomon one of the greatest treasures of mystical literature, the ‘Song of Songs’.
It was of this seed of Solomon that, in time, through David, and thence through my loins, came a mingling.
Muslim scholars traditionally place him from the tribe of Benjamin, and some chains of lineage connect him back to the Prophet Solomon (and ultimately to Jacob/Yaqub).
After his son Solomon’s death, the kingdom splits again, with the Davidic line continuing mainly in the southern Kingdom of Judah (tribes of Judah and Benjamin).
He was also well versed in a portion of the original records that dated back to Moses and Akhenaten, which were secreted away in the vaults below the Temple of Solomon, where a remnant of the Brother–Sisterhood remained as its secret custodians.
Question: Were biblical figures such as Moses, Abraham, Solomon, and Jesus real historical people?
For example, Solomon's temple did exist, and remnants of it still remain today.
1. The home of Joseph was on Marmion Way in Nazareth; here Mary taught her son the lessons of Elihu and Salome.2. And Jesus greatly loved the Vedic and the Avesta; but more than all he loved to read the Psalms of David and the pungent words of Solomon.3. The Jewish books of prophecy were his delight; and when he reached his seventh year he needed not the books to read, for he had fixed in memory every word.4. Joachim and his wife, grandparents of child Jesus, made a feast in honour of the child, and all their near of kin were guests.5. And Jesus stood before the guests and said, I had a dream, and in my dream I stood before a sea, upon a sandy beach.6. The waves upon the sea were high; a storm was raging on the deep.7. Some one gave me a wand.
No son of man, not even Solomon in all his excellence, was ever clothed like one of these.28. And yet they simply trust in God; they feed from out his hand; they lay their heads to rest upon his breast.29. If God so clothes and feeds the flowers and birds that do his will, will he not feed and clothe his children when they trust in him?30. Seek first the kingdom of the soul, the righteousness of God, the good of men, and feed, and clothe.
show us a sign and then we will believe.9. I was not sent to earth to buy up faith as men buy fish and fruit and rubbish in the streets.10. Men seem to think it quite a favour done to me when they confess their faith in me and in the holy Christ.11. What does it matter unto me as man if you believe or disbelieve?12. Faith is not something you can buy with coin; it is not something you can sell for gold.13. Once Mart, a beggar, followed me and cried, Give me a silver piece; then I will believe in you.14. And you are like this beggar man; you offer to exchange your faith for signs.15. But I will give to all the world one sign as surety that the Christ abides with me.16. You all have read the parable of Jonah and the fish, wherein it is recorded that the prophet spent three days and nights within the stomach of the mighty fish, and then came forth.17. The son of man will spend three days and nights within the heart of earth and then come forth again, and men will see and know.18. Behold, the light may be so bright that men cannot see anything.19. The Spirit light has shown so brightly over Galilee that you who hear me now are blind.20. You may have read the words of prophet Azrael; he said, The light shall shine out brightly in the darkness of the night, and men shall comprehend it not.21. That time has come; the light shines forth; you see it not.22. The Queen of Sheba sat in darkest night and still she yearned for light.23. She came to hear the words of wisdom from the lips of Solomon, and she believed;24. And she became a living torch, and when she reached her home, lo, all Arabia was filled with light.25. A greater far than Solomon is here; the Christ is here; the Day Star had risen, and you reject the light.26. And you remember Nineveh, the wicked city of Assyria, which God had marked to be destroyed by shock and flame unless the people turned and walked in ways of right.27. And Jonah raised his voice and said, In forty days shall Nineveh be razed, and her wealth shall be destroyed.28. The people heard and they believed; and they reformed and turned to ways of right, and lo, their city was not razed; was not destroyed.29. You men of Galilee, I tell you that Arabia and Nineveh will testify against you in the judgment day.30. Behold, for every one to whom I speak has in him all the fires of God; but they are lying dead.31. The will is bridled by the flesh desires, and it brings not the ethers of the fires to vibrate into light.32. Look, therefore, to your soul and note, Is not the light within you dark as night?33. There is no breath but Holy Breath that e'er can fan your fires of life into a living flame and make them light.34. And Holy Breath can raise the ethers of the fires to light in none but hearts of purity and love.35. Hear, then, you men of Galilee, Make pure the heart, admit the Holy Breath, and then your bodies will be full of light.36. And like a city on a hill, your light will shine afar, and thus your light may light the way for other men.
Who do they think I am?23. And Matthew said, Some say that you are David come again; some say that you are Enoch, Solomon, or Seth.24. And Andrew said, I heard a ruler of the synagogue exclaim, This man is Jeremiah, for he speaks like Jeremiah wrote.25. Nathaniel said, The foreign masters who were with us for a time, declared that Jesus is Gautama come again.26. James said, I think that most the Jews believe you are the reappearance of Elijah on the earth.27. And John spoke out and said, When we were in Jerusalem I heard a seer exclaim, This Jesus is none other than Melchizedek, the king of peace, who lived about two thousand years ago, and said that he would come again.28. And Thomas said, The Tetrarch Herod thinks that you are John arisen from the dead;29. But then his conscience troubles him; the spirit of the murdered John looms up before him in his dreams, and haunts him as a spectre of the night.30. And Jesus asked, Who do you think I am?31. And Peter said, You are the Christ, the love of God made manifest to men.32. And Jesus said, Thrice blessed are you, Simon, Jonas' son.
1. Now, many Jews from Galilee, Judea and Samaria were in Jerusalem and at the feast.2. The porch of Solomon was filled with scribes and Pharisees and doctors of the law, and Jesus walked with them.3. A scribe approaching Jesus said, Rabboni, why do you keep the people waiting in suspense?
The scribe took up a roll and read:31. To the Sanhedrim of the Jews and to Caiaphas the high priest, most honoured men:32. The highest duty man can render is to his nation and his own is to protect them from their foes.33. The people of Jerusalem are conscious that a mighty foe is in their very midst.34. A man named Jesus has come forth and claims to be heir to David's throne.35. As an imposter he is foe, and in the name of every loyal Jew we here submit these charges which we are competent to prove;36. At first, he blasphemes God; he says he is son of God; that he and God are one;37. And he profanes our holy days by healing, and doing other work upon the Sabbath days;38. And he proclaims himself the king, successor of our David and our Solomon;39. And he declares that he will tear our temple down and build it up again in form more glorious in three days;40. And he declares that he will drive the people from Jerusalem, as he drove out the merchants from the temple court; and bring to occupy our sacred hills a tribe of men that know not God;41. And he aver that every doctor, scribe and Pharisee and Sadducee, shall go in exile, and shall never more return;42. And to these charges we do set our hands and seals.
Other entrances include Mammoth Cave in Kentucky, Mount Shasta in California, the base of the Great Pyramid of Giza, Manaus and Mato Grosso in Brazil, Iguazu Falls on the Brazil-Argentina border, Mount Epomeo in Italy, the Himalayas into Tibet, beneath the China-Mongolia border, Rama in India, and King Solomon's mines.
The entire temple to Asherah, which Solomon had had built in a town next to Jerusalem dedicated to Asherah, that would be demolished.
And so they demolished the temple that Solomon had erected to go alongside the Jerusalem Temple—one dedicated to Asherah and the beings who came and helped our ancestors discover agriculture.
The tribe of Judah, from which King David and King Solomon descended, is called the lion tribe.
Solomon’s throne is said to have featured lion sculptures and mirrored artistic features found in Egypt.
Solomon referenced Mount Hermon as the Lion’s Den, a location associated with the descent of the Watchers—angelic beings from the Book of Enoch.
The Egyptian city of Leontopolis, also known as the City of the Lions, hosted a duplicate of Solomon’s Temple during the diaspora.
Their work retrieved soul fragments and fortified the Solomon Shield, enabling the Ascension Cycle.
Biblical chronologies vary (e.g., 1 Kings 6:1 gives 480 years from Exodus to Solomon's temple start, including Saul's 40-year reign in Acts 13:21 and judges' periods), but no verse uses 397 years.
dating); Bible uses relative timelines without matching numbers (e.g., 480 years to Solomon's temple in 1 Kings 6:1).
At one time it was in the inner sanctuary of the temple of Solomon.
By the 9th–8th centuries BCE, the kingdoms of Israel and Judah were navigating their identities post-Solomon’s united monarchy (if it existed as described).
As Yeshua and Sophia repaired Earth’s energetic systems, they retrieved scattered soul fragments and strengthened the Solomon Shield.
The Solomon Shield became a foundation for the Ascension Cycle, reconnecting Earth to higher dimensions and signaling humanity’s readiness to reclaim spiritual sovereignty.
Nation-building: under Saul, David and Solomon, Israel moves from a loose confederation of tribes to a kingdom, with Yahweh's worship at its center.
For instance, 1 Kings 6:1 mentions that Solomon began building the temple 480 years after the Exodus.
If Solomon's reign began around 970 BCE, this places the Exodus around 1440 BCE.
Texts like the Testament of Solomon and the Goetia of the Lesser Key of Solomon portray Baal as a high-ranking demon, often commanding legions of lesser spirits.
They come from the entrance of Solomon's Temple.
King Solomon!
