Gold is also one of five metals on the periodic table of elements considered permanent since it does not vaporize, it does not dissolve in water, it does not rust, it does not spontaneously combust, and it is not radioactive. It became the perfect money, as did silver. Everything else is just credit. The dollar, the pound, then yen; just credit. Currency. Not money

We need to return to a world where bank notes (aka Federal Reserve Notes) can be converted to gold on demand. Clearly the current system of fiat currency is not working.

i'm glad stewie found something to keep him busy now that family guy is cancelled...

The way the narrator say's it, sound like he's having more then an esthetic attraction to it.

Interesting documentary. Watching the massive accumulation of gold by China, India, Russia, Poland, Hungary, Singapore, UAE, Qatar etc, global central bankers are buying and storing gold at a rate not seen in more than 50 years. Financial markets and gold are signaling future economic distress and a return to high inflation.

Fun fact: Bulgaria's Varna Gold Treasure is considered the oldest processed gold in the world dating back to the time of the Chalcolithic (Eneolithic, Copper Age) the Varna Culture (is usually dated to 4400-4100 BC)

I understand more about world economics and power from this than I've learned in my 78 years so far. And I see that in order to restructure the world system to a global one, trust in national governments and the American dollar must be destroyed. Thus the current chaos and upheaval.

An interesting documentary to listen to as a goldsmith. When you use it as a material for your art you certainly feel as if you could never have too much of it: it's incredibly frustrating when a design can't be made because you haven't enough gold to spare or because it would cost too much to be likely to sell without some fashionable label appended to it.

[massimosquecco]

This Documentary is great, and not to be missed, . Even the "Pissarro incident" takes anything away from its cultural value: Great job guys!
Thank you to whoever shared it on the net. Thank you so much.

Its funny they blame the white European but it's usually the Spanish or the Portuguese

And without gold as money inflation has run ramped, but the same 20 dollar gold piece will buy a suite today as it would in the 20s, but you have to have 2k dollars for the same suite using Fiat currency.

'pure gold, never debased', 'dollar of the middle ages', Quite a thing to have in one sentence

[dribrom]

Hmm... If gold was as common as sand no one would care about it. What the obsession is about prestige and glory. Nowadays gold has a practical use as heatsink in different electronical applications however so it makes sense to dig for it.

[shashankasai]

"Metal was never again going to be put before people" what a great sentence, you just forgot to say that now Oil is put before the metal and people.

Moses was never instructed to build any tabernacle in gold. The Ark of the covenant was covered in gold.
