NIAGARA FALLS, NY WAS SITE OF GOLD AND SILVER FORGES

 

The copper jewelry that they are talking about is probably from the Upper Peninsula (Michigan) copper works.  These copper works are the ones that the Jaredites were working and were the source for the copper that King Solomon used for the bronze pillars, Boaz and Joachim on the front of the Solomonic Temple.  I believe that this was part of the source of his wealth (by way of the Pheonicians – and the reason he had such a large fleet of ships – he was going out and finding the wealth scattered from England to the Great Lakes in minerals that could be scooped up in mound works) and part of the reason that Mulek headed to this part of the world when the Babylonians came to sack Jerusalem.  The knowledge of this area was not lost into the period of 600BC – though I imagine that it was a closely-held secret for most of the time.
