A heavy element, dug out of the ground in one country and sent over to another country to be stuck back in the ground in another country.
The great thing about gold is how much it keeps replenishing itself into rivers and streams through weathering and erosion. I knew a guy who caught a rainbow trout in the local river nearby. He gutted it out and found a 1 ounce gold nugget in its belly.
Or so ancient astronauts theorists like Giorgio A. Tsoukalos (my socks disappeared in the dryer so it must be aliens) would have you believe
Think it's more of a Zacharia Sitchin kinda theory. And it all makes sense too. that's the only theory in which, humans are relative to apes, makes sense to me. That we were use genetically modified to serve as gold digging slaves, like the thousand year old texts say.
The radio show Coast to coast am interviewed a trained scholar in the Hebrew bible and in ancient Semitic languages who pointed out at least a dozen flaws in Zecharia Sitchin’s theory and his misunderstanding and misinterpretation of those thousand year old text
Ah well, considering through the times the same tales were recorded and documented from culture to culture, I doubt he was too far off. Also, trained scholar in Hebrew bible isn't going to win me over, a trained scholar in ancient mythology. Lulz.
It just sounds so dumb to me, religious mythology, based on the earliest imaginations, and a professor in such a education claims someone else's work isn't factual. Erm... What?
the part of my mountains i grew up in was also a place where a lot of it was dug out of the ground, and a lot of bad things were done by people trying to get there. it was only $32.00 and ounce, when paper money still represented it. there were a couple of old guys then, about the age i am now, who lived five miles and almost a couple of thousand feet vertical, down by the river, slucing and panning about an ounce a week on their claims. just each living in their own little shacks. i dreamed then that i would be like that by now, but the world changed and that is all ancient history. when the price of it floated up in the hundreds of dollars range, they bought houses and cars and moved away. other things happened, and it became no longer a peaceful, safe or even possible way of life.
