Yep, I am hip to the timeline. So the source for this bronze may have actually came from Solomon’s mines. From what I understand he didn’t mine just Gold.

Did you see the article posted a week or two ago that possibly traces the tin used in Israel to the British Isles? I’ll see if I can find it again.
