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.
All the reasons have been thrashed out, but here's a tidbit. In Plato's account of Atlantis, the Atlanteans supposedly used "orichalcum" as a metallic currency. It was not as valuable as gold. They stopped using it after the mines ran out. The identify of orichalcum has been a mystery ever since.
But there is good reason to think it was an intermetallic compound of copper and gold, called auricupride (Cu3Au), which---interestingly---is sometimes found in nature, and fits the vague description of orichalcum.
(There is also an old monetary metal called "electrum," which is an alloy of silver and gold, and is also found sometimes in nature. There is little doubt about its identify and existence. I have often wondered whether electrum could be a useful metallic currency, as it would straddle the values of silver and gold, potentially being more stable in valuation.)
