Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book takes the reader on an incredible journey through time and geography, tracing the historical roots of one of the most enduring mysteries of the ancient world: the location of Ophir. The author, driven by his own passion for exploration and a remarkable discovery of a 1705 map detailing Portuguese settlements in Southern Africa, sets out to prove a long-held theory: that the fabled Ophir of the biblical era is located somewhere in the region between the Zambesi and Limpopo rivers. Drawing on a wealth of historical accounts and maps, the author meticulously analyzes the clues left by explorers and historians over centuries, skillfully weaving together historical fact, geographical observation, and linguistic analysis. He argues that the Portuguese, in their quest for gold, stumbled upon the ancient remnants of Ophir and its mines, and that their own explorations became a crucial source of knowledge for the modern-day quest to understand this lost civilization. The book delves into the fascinating history of the Portuguese empire in Southern Africa, the methods of ancient gold mining, the linguistic connections between Hebrew, Arabic, and the native languages of the region, and the remnants of ancient trading routes that crisscrossed the continent. It is a journey that not only unveils the mysteries of Ophir, but also sheds light on the complex and enduring legacy of trade, exploration, and cultural exchange that continues to shape our understanding of the African continent.
