From the Neolithic of the Middle East to the Bulgarian Necropolis in the 4th millennium, from the Egyptian pharaohs to the Spanish conquistadors, the allure of gold – its powerful effect on us – has been consistent and unmistakable. In fact, the Egyptians called gold “the breath of God”. And it’s not just the ancients that held gold in high esteem.
What myths made gold such a prized commodity and what factual properties still support it as a precious metal to this very day?
First and foremost, what makes a precious metal is its rarity. Rarer than silver or copper, two other metals mined since antiquity, its value was proportionately larger. Second, gold has fantastic properties. It does not tarnish, it’s very easy to work, can be drawn into wire, hammered into thin sheets, it alloys with many other metals, can be melted and cast into highly detailed shapes, has a wonderful color and a brilliant luster. All of these properties could be harnessed since ancient times, like today, just by heating gold nuggets at high temperatures and using simple tools like hammers or molds. Where does gold come from? Gold comes From Stars.
