As in the case with his father, David, modern Archaeology simply has no evidence for Solomon's empire or any of his supposed architectural undertakings.
AnswerThe legendary kingdom of David and Solomon is called Israel.According to the Bible, David and Solomon greatly expanded the kingdom into coastal Canaan and what are now southern Syria and western Jordan. This was the view long held by biblical archaeologists, who accepted the biblical dates for the archaeological evidence they found. However, some modern archaeologists have determined that the brief expansion of Israel actually occurred much later, under King Ahab. Biblical scholars dispute the historicity of both David and Solomon, although there is some circumstantial evidence that there may have been a leader called David, or at least the people of Judah believed there had been.
No evidence has yet been found that there ever was a King Solomon, but scholars concede that there might well have been a Hebrew chieftain of that name, somewhere around the tenth century BCE. What most modern scholars do agree on is that there never was a magnificent United Monarchy of Israel at that time. The tomb of a wealthy king is unlikely to have survived for three thousand years to the present day, but the grave of a tribal chieftain probably would have disappeared within a century or two. This is why no one has ever found the grave of King Solomon. As no grave of Solomon has ever been found, nothing has been found on or under it. However, an 'urban myth' is that marijuana was found on or under his tomb.
Yes, King Solomon was thought to of been a real person. David and Bathsheba were his parents.
The key artifact relating to David or Solomon is believed to be the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, which was the site of the First and Second Temple. There is no specific artifact directly linked to David or Solomon that has been definitively identified.
A:The Book of Ecclesiastes, although actually a post-Exilic book, is commonly believed to have been written by David's son, Solomon. Ecclesiastes 1:1 refers to the Preacher, the son of David, and thiis would be Solomon.
King Solomon was always King Solomon. His father was King David. God gave King Solomon the wisdom that he asked for, but no name change that I have ever read about. Actually, King Solomon was called by another name. He was given the name Solomon at birth, but was called Jedidiah by the Prophet Nathan as shown in the verses below. 2 Samuel 12:24 And David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went in unto her, and lay with her: and she bare a son, and he called his name Solomon: and the LORD loved him. 2 Samuel 12:25 And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet; and he called his name Jedidiah, because of the LORD.

A:The biblical evidence shows Solomon not to have been a wise ruler, either before or after the gift of wisdom, but Jewish tradition has built up an image of Solomon as a great and wise ruler. The Jewish people needed a glorious past, with both great and wise rulers. Solomon became part of that past, and Psalms that show any evidence of wisdom have been attributed to him, as have the wisdom books of Proverbs and Ecclesiastes. However, scholars say that the Psalms are a literary genre unknown at the time attributed to Solomon, and that they were actually written over a period of more than two hundred years during and after the Babylonian Exile. Many of the Psalms have certainly been attributed to King Solomon, but they were not his.
The Song of Solomon is believed to have been written by Solomon.
