About Kirby:
Kirby Pábalan-Táyag Aráullo is a renowned Filipino Culture Bearer and currently the National Coordinator for Culture and Heritage for NAFCON (National Alliance for Filipino Concerns). He is a Dátû and Lakan by blood, and an Activist at heart. Kirby is a direct descendant of the last Paramount Kings of Luzon (of both Lakandúlâ of Tondo and Rája Matandá of Maynílâ), and of the anti-colonial revolutionary Katipuneros and World War II Guerilyeras who fought for the liberation of the Philippines from colonialism. His upbringing exposed him to the contradicting worlds of traditional politics and grassroots activism.
With a keen interest in varying fields (such as history, government, and human rights) and a strong commitment to serve the community, Kirby studied in some of the world’s most prestigious institutions, such as the University of California, Davis, Harvard University, and Université catholique de Louvain. Kirby is also the Co-Founder of the Bulosan Center for Filipino Studies at UC Davis and author of the groundbreaking book “Black Lives & Brown Freedom: Untold Histories of War, Solidarity, & Genocide.” He is a visiting professor at various colleges in the Philippines and a research fellow with Ágúman Sínúpan Singsing, an institute for indigenous advocacy and the study of Kapampángan language, history, and culture. Kirby is also well-known for his educationally engaging UA-cam channel where you can find videos about history, culture, and everything in between!
Dátû Kirby is an educator who is well-rooted in his culture and passionate about his colorful heritage (Kapampángan, Tagálog, Indigenous Áytá, Pangasinan, and Spanish-Basque-Portuguese Mestizo); he strives to decolonize Philippine history and democratize Ethnic Studies through knowledge and creativity.

but sir, speaking about the economic situation in the Solomon Islands, most natives prefer a simple life and some don't know how to use their resources, and there are a lot of Solomon Islanders who also benefited from the exploitation of their resources and got rich in Honiara.

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
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.
There's one of the islands in the Solomon Islands that has a place called Ophir.. which is still untouched to this day.
Wrong island, not Solomon island, sorry.

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.
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
And the Jews in Yisrael are not Hebrews. The language they speak is Yiddish not Hebrew as they call Modern Hebrew. They serve Hashem not ABBA YHUH our creator. They worship a demon/s. The languages have evolved throughout the many centuries...up to the thousands of years. But the landmarks of Philippines will forever hold the Hebrew names given by our Hebrew ancestors. Spaniards attempted to change them....but these landmarks are dedicated to ABBA. They failed. YHUH Bless.

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.
Limited lang kasi technology ng panahong iyon para makarating ng Pilipinas ang mga Hebrews/Jews O ano pa man tawagan nila noon.
Ika nga sabi nga ni Gadon, MGA BOBO!
May nakuhang buto ng tao sa luzon na kagaya ng mga taong inutusan ni King Solomon para kunuha ng gold sa ophir at nasa book din yan ni pigafetta na nakita nila ang tao ni King Solomon sa luzon .
naalala ko, may nagkwento saakin na isa sa mga engineer na nagdevelop ng Nuvali sa Sta. Rosa, Laguna. noong nagstart sila ng development, may mga malalaking prehistoric ancient artifacts silang natagpuan. unfortunately, di nireports sa media. for sure, nakatago na yong mga artifacts or napagkakitaan na... along the process, naitago na rin ang history kasama noon..
Kaya nga hindi matibay yung claim ng mga pinoy kc halos walang archeological evidence. Sorry but true
Hindi conclusive na kapagka may archaelogical evidence ay yun na. But archaelogical evidence ay isa lang sa mga makakatulong na makapag connect. Marami pang ibang evidences aside from archaelogical.

@Elnora that has nothing to do with ancestral that has to do with when Jakton and his 13 sons went back to Garden of Eden. Check on Solomon gold series by Godculture
@Elona . I am not part his group whatsoever but his research about Philippine being Ophir and garden of Eden I agree with. again I do know a lot and can tell you on behalf of my mentor who is Filipino that I do know a lot
i enjoyed the video. i'm waiting for part 2. till then.
Thank you!
Better watch The God Culture Solomon's gold series videos, they based it on the scriptures, not regular books written about Solomon island. which is the wrong location. Ophir has brothers Sheba, Havilah.
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.
I would not be surprised if the nation changes its name back to OPHIR!I 😏😁 And yes the nation will be known again for its gold pretty soon! Shalom

Ophir is in the Philippies

@@FMasterMCPEGOphir is India. The closest possible
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.
Wrong place.
Hi Kirby ...from Solomon Islands here..I didn't know that not until I saw this video...thanks for info..
Akala ko rin Solomon Island is in the Arab region or near Egypt
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.
Better watch The God culture Solomon's gold series.
Don't be fooled. Ophir is not the Philippines, nor is it Saudi. It's India (and possibly Sri Lanka). Where else would Gold, Ivory, and peacocks come from??? Ham and Cush are Africa. Midian is Saudi. And why would Solomon send SHIPS to go to either of those places when you can simply go by land.(?) You need to read the Bible and use common sense.
Pls continue to explain more to debunk so many fake news about this topic. Thanks. :)
@Bong . How is fake when Spanish and Vaticans hidden a lot of truth and identity of Filipinos? And now ABBA his people back
"OH! FIRipin desu ka?" 😂
looking forward to episode 2 kuya. 👍
When you said peacocks, India immediately came to my mind.
Most more different peacock in Philippines
Ophir is isles means many island
@@arsiwow7191 Most likely Ophir is like a mercantile group. That traded with various places and countries.
Apparently, there is no archaeological evidence that Solomon existed at all, let alone Ophir. And even if Ophir actually existed, it could not possibly be the Philippines because peacocks are endemic to South Asia and not to Southeast Asia.
@fidelramen5202 Except that is now it was described in the Bible.
If the Philippines is the Land of Ophir how come the Philippines is one of the poorest countries in the world...

Ophir is not a Filipino name for gold..
Ophir is a biblical name which is one of the son of Joktan in Genesis.
Genesis 10:29
Ophir, Havilah and Jobab. All these were sons of Joktan.
Ophir has a brother named Havilah.. An entire land of gold is named after Havilah.
Genesis 2:11
11The name of the first river is Pishon; it winds through the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold. 12And the gold of that land is pure, and bdellium and onyx are found there.…
IT WAS HAVILAH WHO OWNED AN ENTIRE LAND FULL OF GOLD NOT OPHIR
@@9999rosebud there's a shekel of gold from ophir which was dug years ago so we know that there's really an ophir. just watch the God culture and review their research about this. they way more scholarly about this topic than you. 2nd, the philippine's pre colonial past was erased and we don't know why so we cannot discount that havilah may be inside ophir.
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
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 :)
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.
its good to know the puzzle of divine wealth is beginning to show..its realiry
Curious..How did ancient greek and ancient maps pointed out the Malay Peninsular as a "Golden Chersonese"...even ancient hindu-buddha book like Ramayana already stated that Malay Peninsular is the "Suvarnabhumi"...care to explain..?
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..
Pagsamahin na lang Ophir at Philippines: Ophirippines. Then ang slogan is: Oh! Phirippines.

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.
I believe you are referring to the You Tube channel of: The Gods Culture published by a local Filipino.
Yup. Super stretched! Kirby's video is definitely more accurate (based on proven facts and strong evidence) and probably the best video out there about Ophir.

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.
AS A STUDENT BEFORE I HATE HISTORY BUT NOW!! MY FAVORITE IS HISTORY
Ophir is more likely to be Sri Lanka and the Indian Subcontinent or present-day Southeast Asia because of the hints like the resources listed in the Bible which happens to be abundantly present in these regions.
it's unlikely that we could accurately pinpoint where the land really is because the geographical name "Ophir" is only found in ancient Hebrew and Aramaic perspectives, but the Philippines isn't Ophir.
Sorry but you are wrong.🤨 The Philippines IS Ophir !!!. WATCH the You Tube channel: The Gods Culture for EXTENSIVE evidence of this! Shalom. I'm moving to Cebu next year to retire there! From Florida 😁 to Talisay, Cebu. Can't wait to be there!✈️😉❤️🌍😍🥳🤗

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.

@@John77Doe How did our teachers miss those? They should be required reading in the Philippines.
So much ignorance and religious brainwash in the comments. Ophir was an ancient port in Arabia, not in the Philippines. And Punt was in Eastern Africa on the coast towards the Red Sea!
@@kilipaki87oritahiti Of course if you read the story about Punt in Ancient Egypt, they talk about islands. I think it would be a little funny to think that Egyptians would consider their next door neighbor as mysterious. They weren’t that out of touch with their surroundings.

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.
Cebu is the most prosperous City and Province SOUTH of the Capital of the Philippines...NCR is considered No
1 = King Cebu is #2 = Queen... No connection of Queen of Sheba 😂...If Cebu was on the North of NCR, CEBU would be QUEEN CITY of the NORTH 😉
@@bluegray8428 Thanks for sharing yours thoughts. But if you've read Boxer Codex and know the roots of Cebu. You'll think differently.
@@algiab.7296 Just tell me what you've read there that connects Cebu to the Queen of Sheba etc. I've seen a bit of the codex...umm copy from a book but what is it that makes you think Sheba is Cebu...when Cebu isn't really the originsl name of the place?
@@bluegray8428 love to discuss it further with you but I'm impatient in typing 😅. This topic of Kirby is about Ophir and how biblical accounts said that it's a land of gold sources from Solomon's time. In which Ophir is rumoured to be where Queen Sheba sourced it's gold . From archeological standpoint, it's very unlikely. That's why I want to hear Kirby's side on this as cult forming conspiracy groups spread rumors on this.
While Boxer Codex has extensive account of how the Kings down to slaves and even the dead have gold. 🤗 I'm a Cebuana born and raised and I don't want any further fake stories spreading about Ophir and all.
@@algiab.7296 I''m from Cebu too born, raised and presently breathing Cebuano air 😂 Part of me is Lumad taga Sugbo. I do not care much if Philippines is Ophir or not. I do know that Gold played a agreat part in our Ancestor's life. Cebuamo Archeologist Bersales and co. found complete Golden Death Mask here in Cebu..Treasure hunters also found other golden items in ancient burial grounds but for me, just because we had gold it isn't enough for us or anyone to conclude that Philippines is Ophir 😂 I am also wary of people wanting others to believe their baseless ideas/beliefs. Black men saying Negrito Filipinos are Black African People even if their DNA is the farthest from Africans...There are also people saying this or that group belongs to the lost tribes of Israel 😂 Most of these people who believed in this are Black Americans(whose ancestors were sold to slavery in British America)who lost their link to Africa..They want to have something to believe in.to have a sense of belongingness to a certain group that they could take pride in or something...They tell everyone stories that they think can help them spread and strengthen their belief even if science and history disagrees with their assumptions 😂 I mean, we Filipinos already have a unique identity...a unique culture and history...No need for us to be Ophir, One of the Tribes of Israel or Atlantis 🤪 I'm content and proud to be Filipino..With our own struggles and triumphs...NO MORE, NO LESS😁🇵🇭
Mt Ophir is in Johor, Malaysia ❤
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
Just saying you came from a place then saying it has Precious stones And Hebrew writings and saying you can find precious stones anong the streams and then to have a caveat that its so holy and that you (us) cant go to that place and have King Solomon collect stones himself is just unverified information that a person heard or belief from someone based on assumptions, hearsay, speculations, rumors, gossip and then justifying it that the place is so holy, not Holy but “So Holy” therefore no one (someone) or anybody cant go is so kibosh and laughable, Why? Because what makes precious stones so holy? Does the bible say that Ophir or its natural resources of precious stones was a holy place or holy ?
😮😮😅

Cagayan de Oro? Apparently this was named for a reason, perhaps there are large deposits of gold there not discovered. Yet.
Looking forward for your part 2 research of this topic…OPHIR
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?
In malacca i think there is a city wall who used to defense against the invader from the sea because that time kingdom in south easth asia is interconnected so malacca is represent as the capital of that time
We didnt have formal stone structures before the colonial period like the ones we see in Java, Bali, and Japan. Most major strucrures and kotas (forts) were made of wood and pallisades kaya hindi nagtagal. This is the same case for the islands of Borneo and Sulawesi.
There are remnants of stone forts sa Batanes though i forgot the name.
@@ginochristiano1397 Idjangs. Ryukyu islands of Japan also has them
Japanese castles were wooden on the top and could burn down. Building huge stone structures in a land prone to earthquakes is a bad idea. 😃😃😃😃😃

But my understanding the bible places Ophir being bound by the Tigres, Euphrates and another body of water. Philippines is nowhere near there. Do you have an explanation for this?
In my opinion, it's either Solomon hiding his tracks, it's a route, or a mystical land (as others have pointed out).
Ophir is the country below China. It is composed of India /South and SouthEast Asia countries not only PH
Ophir is called the land of gold and prescious stones?many nation mentioned that they are ophir?base in history ,evidence and the bible?
I think that the exploration of solomon not happen.the unknown historian of the writers of the bible made it up.
nice visual, see THE GOD CULTURE.
This is quite interesting.
King Solomon must have been hiding his foot tract to confuse you people. I can't even the Philippines, too. I am not even convinced!
South India is ophir?
Africa left chat
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.
Yup. There was also reference that gold was abundant in the PH esp in the south where gold nuggets can be found in river banks that's why almost everyone wore gold ornaments including slaves per the Boxer Codex.
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....
Hinobaan (in my opinion) could be the place where Adam and Eve evicted to after eating the forbidden fruit by God the Father.
I'm new to your channel coz of Land Of Ophir while I'm listening Ang Pinuno😂
I really love your channel!! 😄😄😄
Thank you 😊
@@KirbyAraullo Walay sapayan 😊
mount ophir exactly in malaysia….
I can't find part two in the channel.
The mere mention of a numerous islands, exacts the Phils
So why were the Spaniards flocking to South America instead of the Philippines. Why did the American-controlled Banana Republic happen in Central America, if the Philippine soil was that rich and fertile?
Can you go make documentary video about the legend of Paoay Lake wherein people believed that it this village sank due to their greed and envy of gold of each residents! Malacanan of the North is there!
Sir kirby,bakit ophir history tinatalakaymo hindi naman ophir language ginagamitmo kundi europhian language,hehehe,j.l.
Ophir the land of Gold Solomons Goldmine is in the Philippines!There are 4 major copper mining sites that is way back in the Ancient times in the Philippines and when there is copper there is Gold for Gold is the impurities of copper mining. These are Philex copper mining of Benguet Marinduque copper mine Dizon copper mine in Pampanga and the biggest copper mining then in Asia Atlas copper mining in Cebu k!
The key is many island forget about others hahaha Philippine has alot of island bro
Try to investigate cateel davao orriental at Mindanao...guide..eise circles shape
Well, you really have to watch The God Culture's "Solomon Gold series" to confirm or reconfirm this FACT... they have over a hundred videos to prove this... (Historical, Scientific, Biblical, etc...)
YAH Bless.
🙏THANK YOU SO MUCH
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..

King Solomon received a shipment from Ophir every three years (1 Kings 10:22) which consisted of gold, silver, sandalwood, pearls, ivory, apes, and peacocks. It's definitely not Ethiopia or India or Sri Lanka. In the ancient times, it won't take 3 years to sail to these places from the Gulf of Aqaba, so definitely it's the "Isles" which is the Philippines Islands that is mentioned in Psalms 72:10 which Tarshish and Sheba are mentioned. "The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts."
Ophir doesn't sound Filipino enough. If we're to chance our name, it has to sound Filipino.. like Bulawon for example. Want a name that translates to gold? Should be the gold in Filipino.
Hafa Adai Sir Kirby
Hafa adai!
Hafa adai.. do think you guam?
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.

Awesome, dudz. 💙💙💙💙💙
Ophir, is found accurately stated in the bible. 😂

There's two evidences in Brazil says the phenicians was here to send gold and reedwood for Solomon temple. Pedra do Ingá and Pedra da Gávea. Written in phenician language.
funny, Filipino language have loan words from ancient hebrew language from Israel.
Ophir was definitely NOT something I remember from Catholic school or Catholic college!

Where is Part 2 ?
The Philippines is ophir in the bible description and never to denie the story of the bible and will real discribe the Philippines is ophir and look at the prove in biblical story and the Philippines is a chosen land by GOD.( lupang hinirang)
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.
Gisingin mo si bro eli soriano.

O fear hahahaa. Nakakatakotttt 😂😂😂😂😂
Basta maraming gold yun na yung ophir na yan.
