À propos de King Solomon's Mines

Il raconte une recherche dans une région d'Afrique inexplorée.

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,[2][3] who the Bible reports were rivals of and frequently at war with King Solomon.[4][5][6] 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 travelers 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.[7]

Haggard knew Africa well, having travelled deep within the continent as a 19-year-old during the Anglo-Zulu War and the First Boer War, where he had been impressed by South Africa's vast mineral wealth and by the ruins of ancient lost cities being uncovered, such as Great Zimbabwe. His original Allan Quatermain character was based in large part on Frederick Courtney Selous, the British white hunter and explorer of Colonial Africa.[8][9] Selous's real-life experiences provided Haggard with the background and inspiration for this and many later stories.
