Gold – An Historical Introduction

Abstract. Gold has a special place among metals. It is the oldest metal exploited by man, it plays an important role in world economics, it is highly prized, it was the ultimate goal of alchemists, and it is stored in the vaults of banks. Gold has been used in gilding, to make funeral masks, and for many other uses.Web
