Not really a new story, but an interesting discovery, nevertheless.

From the mid-1960s, researchers “have discovered a network of mines, believed to have been worked by slaves under King Solomon, explored in the Smithsonian Channel's documentary, 'Secrets: King Solomon's Mines.’

Contrary to what one would expect, however, the mines are not filled with gold or silver, but copper. Ben-Yosef points to indications around the site that suggest mass copper production.

Displaying a piece of black rock in his hands, Ben-Yousef says ‘All of the black material is slag, it's waste from the furnaces.’
