THE OPHIR ENIGMA

• OPHIR APPEARS IN GENESIS BUT ESPECIALLY IN THE STORY OF SOLOMON, WHO IS SAID TO HAVE IMPORTED FROM OPHIR ABOUT 300 TONS OF GOLD, VIA HIS FRIEND HIRAM

• LATER BIBLE CLAIMS GOLD FROM OPHIR NO MORE AVAILABLE

ATTEMPTS TO LOCATE OPHIR

• SEVERAL LOCATIONS PROPOSED, MAINLY IN AFRICA OR ARABIA

• ACCORDING TO PROF KAMAL SALIBI OPHIR NOT LOCATED IN ARABIA

• HE SAID “NO CLUE” FOR OPHIR, BUT AFTER GETTING MY PAPER SAID “WELL ARGUED”

THE KEY TO LOCATE OPHIR’

• I GOT THE SOLUTION WHILE SITTING ON A STONE IN A GRAN CANARIA BEACH, READING ROBERTA LEVRERO’S BOOK ON ANCIENT GEOGRAPHY OF AFRICA

• I RECALLED THE AKKADIAN WORD AFAR FROM SEMERANO’S BOOK ON APEIRON

7

OPHIR MEANS…..

• AFAR MEANS IN AKKADIAN AND BASICALLY IN PRESENT SEMITIC LANGUAGES: DUST, SAND…

• THUS WE CAN SEE, AS ITALIA= AITHALIA= SMOKING LAND, FROM GREEK, SEE VINCI, THAT AFRICA = LAND OF SAND, JUSTIFIED FROM SAHARA AND THE SANDY WINDS

OPHIR IN INDIA

• ANCIENT VEDIC INDIA INCLUDED SOME LAND NORTH OF HIMALAYA

• FROM END OF HINDUKUSH TO VALLEY OF BRAMAPUTRA WAS FOR LONG THE ZHANG-ZHUNG EMPIRE, HEART OF BON RELIGION, CENTRED ON KAILAS SACRED MOUNTAIN, SEE FOR ITS LANGUAGE HUMMEL

• KAILAS IS THE THRONE OF SHIVA, SITTING ON ITS SUMMIT WITH PARVATI. DOES NOT SHIVA NEED A A GOLDEN THRONE?

10

FEATURES OF KAILAS

• 6500 METERS HIGH, ISOLATED, PYRAMID SHAPE, CALLED MERU IN BON TEXTS

• SOURCE OF BRAMAPUTRA, INDUS AND SUTLEJ, TWO OF THE FIVE RIVERS DEFINING PENJAB = PUNT !!! (RICHEST LAND FOR ANCIENT CIVILIZATIONS AND WITH HIGHEST POPULATION)

• MERU SOMETIMES TRIPLE, SO KAILAS MAY BE ASSOCIATED TO THE SACRED PYRAMIDAL PEAKS IN HUNZA VALLEY, RAKAPOSHI, HUNZAKUNJI. ANCIENT PYRAMID EGYPTIAN NAME: MER !

SOLOMON AND QUEEN SHEBA

• QUEEN OF SHEBA BROUGHT TO SOLOMON MUCH GOLD, BUT A FRACTION OF WHAT HE GOT FROM HIRAM. WE CLAIM SHE CAME FROM INDIA, PROBABLY FROM KASHMIR, EASY ACCESS TO KAILAS GOLD

• SOLOMON LEFT HIS THRONE AFTER 40 YEARS, DIED PROBABLY IN NEPAL NEAR KAPILAVASTU AFTER TRAVELS TO RETURN HIS WIVES TO THEIR FAMILIES. HE VISITED POSSIBLY QUEEN OF SHEBA IN SRINAGAR

WHO WORKED THE GOLD?

• GOLD WAS PROBABLY WORKED BY SPECIALISTS KEEPING THE SECRET OF THEIR PROFESSION

• TRAVELED BY LAND OR BOATS - ALONE OR WITH OTHER PEOPLE

• THARSIS IS THE PLACE WHEREFROM GOLD CAME

22

THARASA = ARANY = GOLD…

• THARSIS POSSIBLY FROM KHANTY WORD (RELATED TO MAGYAR) THARASA = GOLD

• PROF ALINEI CLAIMS ETRUSCAN TO BE OLD MAGYAR. ARANY = GOLD IN MAGYAR, MAGY = NAGY = GREAT IN MAGYAR, HENCE MAGYAR = GREAT IN WORKING GOLD

• ETRUSCANS = TURSENOI = THOSE CLEVER IN GOLD, FROM THARASA, AND GREEK NOI, MEANING WISE, CAPABLE

23

FROM THARSIS TO TUSCANY

• ASSYRIANS DESTROYED THARSIS LATER REBUILT AS TAXILA, SANSKRIT: WHERE PRECIOUS THINGS ARE MADE

• ETRUSCANS FLED TO TARSUS, TURSA IN EAST MEDITERRANEAN. WHEN ASSYRIANS ARRIVED THERE, THEY FLED TO TUSCANY

• THEY WERE FEW, RICH, MADE PRECIOUS THINGS, KNEW METALS, ASTRONOMY, MAGIC, TRAVELS, FROM ORIGINAL LAND NEAR ALTAI (GOLD) MOUNTAINS

• MAGI WHO VISITED JESUS WERE MAGYARS
