I was thinking about gold and why it's valuable. I get it, "dollar will collapse, gold is always valuable," but WHY?
And then I was thinking about the ancient civilizations, the ones pre-flood that were most likely highly advanced.. The ones that most likely were able to tap into frequencies, magnetic fields, and had advanced techniques that was lost to man. Techniques that men like Tesla eventually rediscovered, but cabal agents came and told them away (hence Epstein trolling around MIT, but that's a different topic).
I'm wondering if gold was used as a method to tapping into the power sources in the ancient world. Like, it more efficiently stabilized frequencies and made power a constant in the ancient ancient world. Who knows, I'm riffing here.
We know gold has unique properties when compared to the elements, and we know it's already used in electronics, electrical wiring, dentistry, medicine, and radiation shielding. Perhaps the ancient world harvested it as it expanded their power, and then the Flood hit, people lost the technology, but remembered gols: "it's valuable because our forefathers knew it was valuable, and maybe we'll tap into that so let's keep gathering more gold."
Maybe word-of-mouth and generational story telling eventually forgot how to leverage gold for energy, and it became a relic of the past, still valuable, but the inherent reason was lost.
I don't think we believe diamonds are rare because they're shiny.
We think they're rare because De Beers and the Oppenheimer family have created a fake "shortage" of them. They simply keep the vast majority of them locked up in vaults.
I once read that if those vaults were opened up to the public, everyone on the planet could be wearing diamonds.
Think Jew-elry
Wonder where they came up with the name?
I doubt the name came from the word "jew".
It's more likely it came from the old French term "Jouel", and that word probably came from the Latin term "jocale".
Then you need to look at the etymology of the word "jew". It begins with old Hebrew "Yehudi" and goes through a couple of different transitions through Greek and Latin where it eventually ends up in Old French as "giu". Then it comes into English as "jew".
Both words went through Old French before we eventually ended up with the English variations. So if the term "jewelry" was going to be named after the word "jew", it would have done so well before it filtered down to modern English.
Sometimes we need to remember that the entire world doesn't speak English, and the English terms for both "jewelry" and "jew" are pretty modern terms for words that have existed in various languages for thousands of years.
Well joo might be right ;)
