Stories of Gold
It was important to the ancients for reasons beyond wealth, long lost to a distant history. Somehow the signifcance of this metal has passed to us, as if linked to the human genetic code. Wars and untold horrors are connected to the acquisition of gold throughout time. For ages gold remained the original form of money. But gone is the gold standard. Currency today has taken a much different form. In the future, perhaps we'll have a true civilization that will not run on money. Yet the many uses and value of gold will ever exist. And there is only so much on the planet.
