It Is One Of The First English Adventure Novels Set In Africa And Is Considered To Be The Genesis Of The Lost World Literary Genre. The "King Solomon" Of The Book'S Title Is The Biblical King Renowned Both For His Wisdom And For His Wealth. A Number Of Sites Have Been Suggested As The Location Of His Mines, Including The Workings At The Timna Valley Near Eilat. Research Published In September 2013 Has Shown That This Site Was In Use During The 10Th Century Bce As A Copper Mine Possibly By The Edomites, Whom The Bible Reports Were Rivals Of And Frequently At War With King Solomon. The Bible Does Refer To King Solomon Having Sent Out, In Partnership With His Phoenician Allies, Trading Expeditions Along The Red Sea, Which Brought Exotic Wares And Animals From Africa To Jerusalem. Muslim Traders In Sofala Told Portuguese Travellers In The Sixteenth And Seventeenth Centuries That The Region'S Gold Mines Belonged To King Solomon And That He Built The Ruins Of Great Zimbabwe.
