Apparently, the olden Europeans were so convinced that there's something in the Peninsula Malaysia that they colonized us thrice (Portuguese, Dutch, and British) for Gold, Gospel and Glory and named Gunung Ledang in Johor as Ophir. Ptolemy named the Peninsula as the Golden Chersonese, and in Sanskrit, it's Svarnabhumi, meaning Land of Gold.

Reminds me of one of the channels from my country that used to discuss this from 2/3 years ago. And I only think in this form of conclusion that 'The Land of Ophir' is the most reasonable, indeed originating from SEA (for countries it is still a hypothesis) because even King Solomon has visited any country (other than his place of origin) including SEA 🤔. But thx for your information

Dakal a salamat king kekang video. Ayalben keng buo ing Solomon’s Gold Series ning The God Culture at dakal ya research a gewa basi keng Bibliya, ancient maps, historical records da reng minunang explorers a menibatan keng Europa at maging keng archaeology and scientific research. Hangga man ngeni ala pang makapasubali kareng keyang claims na ing Pilipinas ing biblical land of Ophir, ancient land of Havilah in Genesis, Elda in the book of Enoch, land of creation and the Garden of Eden in the book of Jubilees. Atin yang latest release a video ngening kapaskuan tungkol keng land of Ophir.

Timothy Jay Schwab of the God Culture makes the most compelling case for Ophir using scripture, geology, biology, language, and history as being in the Philippines. The God Culture goes much deeper than anything touched on herein.

Thank you for sharing, God bless you.

Great video! Can't wait for the next one!🤗🥰💖💯👍from 🇲🇾.

You mentioned Solomon Island, but there is an Island North of Solomon Islands used be called North Solomon Province now Autonomous Region of Bougainville, indigenous people defend heavily on the gold for income. The gold is found all through out the Island and there are some historical caves that people say King Solomon used to get treasures from. The Island is part of Papua New Guinea.

Nice video! Well-explained.

Hi Kirby! Interesting that you're covering this. I've been following God Culture channel who has covered this extensively with so much historical materials that go all the way back to the Scriptures. Really like your channel. Keep up the great work and research!

Awesome I love history and never afraid to learn more salamat Kuya.

i enjoyed the video. i'm waiting for part 2. till then.

Sa sobrang hirap ng mga Pinoy umaasa sila sa "hope stories" like this, tapos maraming taong nagtatakeadvantage of this. Real sad.

This has remind me from a channel.that I used to watch. Tagal na pala nun. Super interesting topic. It was fantastical. Peace.

Thanks for the knowledge sir

Kirby, continue your passion and work in exploring the connection of great myths with that of the History of the Philippines / Filipinas / Las Islas Filipinas. Salamat, Kababayan and Kapampangan. Strong to Endure Our Strength is in Loyalty (Motto of the 26th Cavalry Regiment (PS), Fort Stotsenburg, Pampanga, PI, WWII in the Philippines). Scouts Out. AATW RLTW God Bless.

Hi Kirby ...from Solomon Islands here..I didn't know that not until I saw this video...thanks for info..

Thank you for sharing, God bless you, dear! Love from India

This is quite interesting.

"OH! FIRipin desu ka?" 😂 looking forward to episode 2 kuya. 👍

Looking forward for your part 2 research of this topic…OPHIR

As a Disbeliever, I have seen comments who says that the Philippines is the Land of Ophir, which I disagree what they take, people must be Critical what the Catholic Spaniards would say, we must have more Evidence to prove it. I have seen a Comment that Baybayin came from The Hebrew language which I disagree with the take here. The writing system of both langauges is not the same

Mabuhay Ka kaibiGan 🤞

I really love your channel!! 😄😄😄

I came for the history but stayed for the goofy hand movements. Well done once again!

Awesome, dudz. 💙💙💙💙💙

Pls continue to explain more to debunk so many fake news about this topic. Thanks. :)

The land of Ophir,The land of gold,Queen of Sheba, The garden of Eden modern Philippine. Restored.

There is a mountain on the island of Malaita Province, Solomon Islands (Southwest Pacific) call Ophir (pronounced locally as OFI). From oral history and traditions, some people claimed that their first founding ancestors came all the way from Israel and reached that mountain top. From there they intermarriage with other Melanesian people who were already there. Currently at present, that place is kept as sacred and taboo. I hope proper archaeological and anthropological will confirm if such oral histories are true or not.

🙏THANK YOU SO MUCH

The mere mention of a numerous islands, exacts the Phils

How to buy your book po.. gusto ko po sana iregalo for Christmas.. if possible po English yung alamat or Philippine mythology good for 7 yrs old..

I came from a land where it's called orphir there are many precious stones, and Hebrew writing and that place was so holy that you can't go up to that place, you can find precious stones along the streams that where king solomon collect stones for the temple

Kirbbyyy ahh nabitin ako. Love this topic, also please explain if there’s relationship between Cebu and queen Sheba,( when Cebu is known as queen city of the south) Edit: I know it's wayyyyy not related but I just want Kirby to explain this and debunk the circulated conspiracy.

AS A STUDENT BEFORE I HATE HISTORY BUT NOW!! MY FAVORITE IS HISTORY

Hi sir! Have you made a video about Biringan yet? And if you haven't, would you mind to do it. It would mean so much to us who have Waray ancestry? Thank you so much. 🙏

Hello Kirby, how are you? im Erictoons, if you still need an illustrator/ cartoonist, im willing to help you make more coloring books and other stuff. :) agyamanak :)

sa kabilang banda, para yatang matagal pa ang part 3 ng Sabah series

❤❤❤❤

Mt Ophir is in Johor, Malaysia ❤

I can't find part two in the channel.

Hello Kirby, for the first time I have heard your program, I am so very interested to hear and to know more about Ophir in it's historical and biblical truth. Sir Kirby would you mind please to please provide me your written history about Ophir.... I am drafting the 2nd edition history of our town Hinobaan in Negros Occidental, for me to record about the ancient ancestors of our place. Please... can you provide me freely... Hope to know the soonest time. Thanks and to God be the Glory....

Yes I believe that the Philippines is ancient Biblical name Ophir , at the Far East, land of the morning, Isle of the East, The Garden of Eden

Salamat "Datu"!

It is interesting that the stories of the Arabian Nights are about the East Indies. Ancient Middle Easterners talked about Eden being in this area. From ancient times, our lands were considered mysterious and fantastical. Ancient Egyptians also talked about Punt, islands of the East.

I'm new to your channel coz of Land Of Ophir while I'm listening Ang Pinuno😂

Eskayah tribes from Bohol. Hear their story, especially about their ancestors. They were miners of gold to help built the Kingdom of Solomon during his reign.

Kung TALAGANG TOTOONG ang PHILIPPINES 🇵🇭 ang tinutukoy na " the Lang of Ophir '' sa panahon ni king Solomon for many years, eh Di Sana may nakita o nahukay na anything archaeological artifacts that can be traced to the Israelites or Jewish origin dahil Kung TOTOO Yang theory nila SIGURADO Naman na may exchange of trade between prehistoric Filipinos and Israelites? But up until now wala naman atang nahahanap na tulad Ng Ganun dito sa PILIPINAS.

When you said peacocks, India immediately came to my mind.

Sana ma gawan mo ito ng part 2 bro kirby.. nanabik na kaming mga OPHIRIANS na manood...

As you said and tagged by a well known name as the biblical land of Ophir. Numerous conjectures and theories but the last thing they consult is the Bible, that is why it is called the biblical Ophir. God Culture’s YOU Tube has a sensible interpretation of where the biblical Ophir is located then and now through Bible passages.

Kirby there was another YT channel that extensively discussed Ophir through Biblical stories. That's where I first heard about it. Interesting but sometimes its a bit of a stretch.

Basta maraming gold yun na yung ophir na yan.

It's Southern Africa, Zimbabwe to be specific.

sandalwood, ivory, & gold is abundant in India even till today, and it's proximity to Israel or Canaan makes it ideal esp the Islands around it

Funnily enough a place in Solomon islands in their native language is name Ophir. This was on the Malaita Province

No just no, being known as something outside the island's is good, especially the fact that our island's were once somewhat wealthy in gold. But Filipinos making petition's to make Opher the new name for the country is kinda to much, especially when fully knowing the fact, that our people were screwed by Catholism and Colonialism in the first place. Ignorance and pride is honestly our people's worst flaw.

Aurea Chersonesus ang ipinalit na pangalan ni Ptolemy sa Ophir ayon kay Josephus na jews historian noong panahon ni emperor Titus na lumusob sa jerusalem noong 70 AD. Sa ngayon ang Aurea Chersonesus ay tinatawag na Malaya peninsula o Malaysia.

nice visual, see THE GOD CULTURE.

And silver and onyx and pearl

Lodi do we have castles during the era of our early kingdoms like those found in China, Japan, India or Indonesia? What does our architectural design look like back then?

istoryahe....

Pagsamahin na lang Ophir at Philippines: Ophirippines. Then ang slogan is: Oh! Phirippines.

My inheritance. Very good

Hafa Adai Sir Kirby

I found the remains of the old kingdom in the philippines.. the walls are very much intact..but covered with tall trees and climbers.. would be nice to know if it is part of ophir.. or the old kingdom that now gone..

✍️🌎🙏

So this is why Filipinos covet Gold so very much

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

In my opinion, it's either Solomon hiding his tracks, it's a route, or a mystical land (as others have pointed out).

KUYA COPY PO TO SHARE SA TIKTOK THANK you PO HALLELUYAH 😍😍😍😍

oh my , were on the land of gold. but i dont have any.😂 its just im not fanatic of gold. ok i will buy tomorrow for luck

Maybe Saudi Arabia po yung sinasabi nilang Land of Ophir

Cagayan de Oro? Apparently this was named for a reason, perhaps there are large deposits of gold there not discovered. Yet.

Land of Ophir is not yet identified which specific country In this modern world that best fits the description.No one really knows where the Land of Ophir is located and situated.Based on the archaeological facts & evidences as a proof that the Philippines is said to be the ancient Ophir.But more proofs are needed to convince that the Philippines is really the land of Ophir because some other countries like India and parts of Africa are claiming that they were the land of Ophir.However, a traveller named Ferdinand Magellan strongly agreed that land of Ophir is the Philippines because he found few artifacts that could supported his stand.If ever the Philippines is the land of Ophir so be it and give honor,glory & praise to the Almighty.

They said the same thing about Lamur

The Philippines in the ancient times before it got its name was known as the Land of Gold because there were lots of gold here before.

Ito ba ang dating SOLOMON GOLD SERIES?

Ssbbn nun iba dahil "anak mayaman" daw.. uhm yup maybe, but ang dami ko din kilalang anak mayaman na hndi inalaagaan un mga namana nila so ending poor na sila. Not because anak mayaman eh hndi mo na need pagsikapan pra alagaan un pinagpaguran ng parents mo.. Actually madalas din cnsbi ng parents ko na walang madali sa mundo..kng merong madali edi sana ginawa n lahat ng tao un and wala ng naghihirap... Utak kc ng mahihirap akala nila merong chill life, eh ms chill p nga un mahihirap kesa samin. once a year lng ako nkakapasyal tlga eh tuwing dec to january dahil christmas vacation.. eh buti p un mahihirap ms madalas pumasyal kng san san nkaka gala eh.. madalas sabaw utak ni Rendon eh pero this time agree ako sa knya coz ganyan din cnsbi samen. Eka ng magulang ko "kasalan mo kng mamamatay kang mahirap"

Where's part 2?

Ophir is not the only one go the east he have brothers and sisters we're live piece in East.

Mas maganda po siguro yung explanation if gumamit tayo ng bible verses especially mas maraming proof dun kesa sa mga theory at history books.. mas maiintindihan sana kung mismong solomons story yung ginawang reference dito. sana po sa next video is mas maraming bible verses How bible described the land of Ophir.. that's a challenge din kuya Kirby.. ☺️ Hindi din kasi ako kumbinsido sa mga history na ikaw nadin nagsabe na may mga peddler nadin that time na mga fake news spreader. (eto at para po sa mga hindi kumbinsido sa history) I Hope to hear some bible verses that described Ophir and why it is not the Philippines or why it is the Philippines... Salamat.

okay

South India is ophir?

Mga Pinoy tlga o

The key is many island forget about others hahaha Philippine has alot of island bro

Ophir is the country below China. It is composed of India /South and SouthEast Asia countries not only PH

Yes the Philippines is ophir,

New Zealand. Dunedin is Ophir. Ophir means serpentine (Dunedin is a serpentine volcano) and the sound made by a giant hawk or eagle (Haast eagle) 3 years by sea via Hawaii and Neu Caledonia
