Solomon has been proven to be only a story, a metaphor, so no gold.
Well then what happened to the gold in the temple. I've heard that's where the Jewish treasury was kept.

It was the babylonians who stole the gold from the original Temple built by solomon. And while they were in captivity in Babylon, the prophet Daniel records how the sacred utensils were being used by Belshazzar and his partying guests in his palace.
The temple destroyed by the romans in 70ce was a re-built temple by King Herod, not solomon.

Yes that is what you heard, but that doesn't make it so.

Or you could say that Constantine confiscated it when he instated his decree that all "Gold idols" that were not Christian be confiscated. Jewish Gold would be considered under the jurisdiction of Roman rule at the time, and could also be considered "idolatrous" as well in my opinion.
However, I would agree that the above quote would be more accurate considering timelines and historical context.

It depends on who ever the Archaeologists are, most say it never happened, but those who are looking to prove the story true, will find anything and make it sound that the story was true, they believe the bible literally, so that is what they will believe they have found.

LOL, and the artifacts don't prove that he was real, that is in the way the Christians believe.

Lol, so in order to be real, something has to exactly in the way a specific group of people portray him/her... BRILLIANT
If there is just ONE CHRISTIAN that portrays him in the way that archeologist portray him your entire argument falls flat on it's face.
Ignorant people are still ignorant regardless of the religion that they follow. Ignorance knows no race, creed, ethnicity, religion, nor philosophy.

When was this proven and how?
Was it also proven that 95% of all historical figures in history were completely fictional as well?

I wonder the same thing when people claim historical figures were all fictional. I guess 95% of the people that lived in the first 1000 years A.D. and prior didn't really exist.
That is a baseless, in fact idiotic, statement.

Pythagoras is a myth.
I was watching a show on one of the Discovery channels. They've come pretty close to proving King David existed, so that would mean that Solomon existed, as well.
Probably a lot of tons. That's why they stopped running around the desert and built a temple vault.
