Welcome to What The Heck season 4! This podcast explores unexplained phenomena using stories gathered from various sources, then applies an academic research method to find theories and solutions for each one. So far, we've been unsuccessful in finding any concrete answers, but a few of the stories we've covered have been solved. Today, we're looking at some history to discover the location of the Lost Mines of Ophir. In the Bible, mentions are made of a mine filled with gold. There is even evidence that proves that this was a real place. We just don't know the location. Who used the mine? What else was exported from Ophir? Where is it? Listen in to hear all the theories!
