The Origin Of Gold Bars

By Jack Wagon

Thousands of years ago, a child was working in a cove were he discovered a rock that was very shiny. That was the time when humans first encountered the existence of gold. It was pale yellow in colour and had a sparkling appearance. Hence, it was given the name gold. Gold was one of the metals that humans discovered a long time back.

Gold became immensely popular as it was considered as a vital part of the human culture. Its everlasting gleam and charming beauty has been exciting humans for a very long period. The desire to posses this metal had always been the core value of every human even if they had to take other people's life to gain it.

The discovery of the gold is not associated only within a specific group, as it was found in many different parts of the world and its discovery occurred at different times in different parts of the world. However, one thing is common about its discovery that everyone who first saw it was quite impressed with its beauty and lustre.

Another thing, which distinguishes gold from other metal, is that it is one of the easiest metals to work on, as it is found in a pure and workable condition, while most of other metals occur in ore-bodies. In different cultures and civilisations of the world, gold has always been reckoned as a powerful stuff, which was usually associated with immortality, gods, and wealth in different cultures.

As gold is a natural substance, its form can easily be changed by moulding it into different shapes and sizes like a nugget or gold bars. The reputation of this metal has always been on the rise due to all its forms. Kings of many countries have used this metal to make their crowns. Almost all the women are passionate for its possession. Gold has been used to make gold coins, which was used as a currency.

As humans have always associated this precious metal with power and glory, it has become one of the most essential objects for them. In the ancient times, gold was used in creating shrines and idols. Besides this precious metal was also used in making of plates, cups, vessels, vases and many other similar objects.

It is not so that gold got its value when it was used as money. The fact is that it always had great value to humans, and that was the very reason of those unbelievable efforts that people usually made to get it. In many different civilisations like Indians, Egyptians, Phoenicians, and Hittites, slaves, and prisoners of wars were used to find out gold, and they were sent to the mines for this purpose. It was a time when gold was not used as money, but just reckoned a desirable object.

Today, gold is the essential part of almost all jewellery items, which has carried its value as it was in the past. Many other precious metals are also being used for jewellery but are not so popular besides nothing adds more value and glory to the beauty than gold itself. Gold is considered not as money, but something, which is far more precious than money itself. It's a never-ending passion and love between gold and humans that does not seem to end in the near future. - 23199
