So many people were fighting to claim it and looses their lives for only reason of its preciousness. From the history, it has also seen that many major cities were established in the USA only for collecting gold in those areas. Worth reading several times.

Indeed an excellent article, gold goes way back to remote antiquity. Even back then everyone realized the potential for gold whether it be in artifacts, or coin. There is even speculation that the "gods" were mining for gold long before man even existed on earth. It has such a rich history, leading us to the present day. I think in today's economy gold is an excellent investment and should be deeply considered.

This is the first invented and most precious metal that is also available in the market. There are a few countries where the gold mines are available.
