Contents:
In this book Prof. Augustus Henry Keane (1833–1912) puts forward a theory that the mythical Ophir gold, which was the source of King Solomon's famed wealth, came from Havilah, which he identifies with today's Zimbabwe (former Rhodesia), and that Ophir - located on the south cost of Arabia - was the centre of distribution of the gold.
In chapter V (p. 42 ff), Prof. Keane deals with Eduard Glaser's theory regarding Havilah and Ophir as laid out in Glasers publication 'Skizze der Geschichte und Geographie Arabiens von den �ltesten Zeiten bis zum Propheten Muhammad. II' - Chapter XXV - pp. 357 ff)
