Product Description
Gold has been known to and used by humans since ancient times. Prehistoric humans probably first discovered the bright flakes and nuggets of gold in a stream or riverbed. Early civilizations collected gold and learned how to work with it. Modern archaeologists have found gold hewelry made by skilled craftsmen more than 5,000 years ago in Egypt. The first gold coins were made about 2,500 years ago in Asia Minor, an area that today is the country of Turkey.
