The Lost Land of Ophir: Is This Where the Gold Was?

Could the Philippines be the lost land of Ophir — the biblical source of King Solomon's gold? This documentary follows the evidence: the gold, the ancient boats, the inscriptions… and the 2,000-year gap that changes everything. An original English documentary in animated paper-cutout collage style. Museum photographs, research notes, and a clear standard of proof. We don't claim the Philippines "is" Ophir — we show you how to evaluate the claim.
