The Origin Of Gold Bars

By Jack Wagon

It was thousands of years ago when a child found a sparkling piece of rock in a bay that is how gold was firstly introduced to humans. It was a chunk of yellowish shinning object, which was given the name gold. Gold was one of the earliest metals found by humans.

It became one of the most indispensable parts of all the human cultures due to its popularity. Its eternal shine and attractive beauty has been stimulating humans for decades. Its desire made people so obsessed to posses it that they were willing to take each other's lives for its possession.

Gold was found in various different parts of the world each having its own time lines of discovery, hence, it does not belong to a specific group who discovered it. The discovery of gold imparted exalted feelings equally to everyone.

Gold is one of the easiest and purest forms of metal, which can be altered as desired in a processing condition, this makes it very different from other metals, which usually are found in ore-bodies. Gold has always been perceived as a possession of wealth and power due to its natural form. Even in the early civilisations and different cultures of the world it was has always been associated with gods, immortality, and wealthy countries.

Gold's popularity has been immense since its natural form can be moulded, and can be made into various forms like gold bars and nuggets. Many Kings around the world have been using gold in making their crowns. Women have always been associated with gold, as they are the most admiring people of this possession. Gold coins were also made with this metal, 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.

These days gold is considered a must part of almost all types of precious jewellery and it's as adorable as in the past. Though some other precious metals are also being used for this purpose, however none is as popular as gold and none can offer the same grace and glory as gold can offer. It's no more used as money these days, but it is reckoned as something more precious than money. Humans have an eternal sort of love with gold, which doesn't seem to decrease in the near future.
