Ophir
Ancient wealth's source
Ophir is a biblical place name for a region famed for its gold, mentioned in the Hebrew Bible as a source of King Solomon's wealth.
The location has never been identified—scholars have proposed sites in Arabia, East Africa, and India.
In literary and historical usage, Ophir evokes legendary riches: gold of Ophir, as wealthy as Ophir.
