King Solomon, the Bible’s wisest king, possessed extraordinary wealth. The grand temple he built in Jerusalem was covered in gold from the porch to the inner sanctum, where the Ark of the Covenant was kept. Long before H. Rider Haggard’s classic adventure novel King Solomon’s Mines unleashed gold fever more than a century ago, many had sought to find the source of the great king’s wealth. In this new adventure—“a hybrid of Indiana Jones and Herodotus” (Sunday Times, London)—Tahir Shah tries his hand at the quest.
Intrigued by a map he finds in a shop not far from the site of the temple, Shah assembles a multitude of clues to the location of Solomon’s mines. Some come from ancient texts, including the Septuagint, the earliest form of the Bible, and some from geological, geographical, and folkloric sources. All point across the Red Sea to Ethiopia, the land of the Queen of Sheba, Solomon’s lover, who bore Solomon’s son Menelik and founded Ethiopia’s imperial line. Shah’s trail takes him on a wild ride—by taxi, bus, camel, donkey, and Jeep—that is sure to delight all travelers.

Amazing and Very Adventurous

If it had not been for the photographs, I would have doubted that this account was actually a memoir of a recent African adventurer. The hardships were truly unbelievable, and even as unrealistic as they seemed to be, I had to keep reading. In the tradition of past explorers, the events were engaging and outrageous. The author's style was reminiscent of the great explorers of antiquity and kept me engaged to the end. I will definitely keep my digital copy in my Kindle library for a future return to this adventurous account. Although the writer was seeking the fortune of finding tangible wealth, his greatest achievement was in sharing the priceless gift of his greater accomplishment of the adventure.

If you like travel books, this is for you. It recounts with British self-deprecating humor an insane trip to Ethiopia in search of King Solomon’s mines. The author is probably certifiable and not really someone you would pick for your traveling companion, but his adventures are so entertaining it’s hard to put them down. Apparently he has gone on equally insane trips to other places and published books about them which I’ll probably read. Recommended.

Nice book.

Good read. Better than other books, Sorceres Apprentice and Caliph's House, which according to me are quite dragging. However, this one captures the reader to some extent...give good picture of Africa through a traveller's eye...
