The Origins of Gold
All ancient cultures revered gold, and it was associated with the planets the sun. The bible always used to say, tam, the gold and silver is mine. Most of the gold in the world is actually older than the world itself. As an ancient scholar wrote, neither moth nor rust devour. You cannot destroy gold. And as a result, all the gold thathas ever been mined or found still exists somewhere. It might have been lost, but it's not destroyed. Wes copper, or oil, or any other thing does get consumed, not gold.
