Um, your the one who wrote "made entirely out of gold" , aren't you TaQo?
Or if you are quoting someone else, you should have indicated that using quote marks and citing source.
A kilo of gold is quite small. Gold is heavy as shite. I think there is zero possibility this is made "entirely out of gold". Covered with gold sheeting/foil would make sense. Pretty sure the original was specified that way, NOT entirely of gold, but gold covered.

[1] And Bezaleel made the ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half was the length of it, and a cubit and a half the breadth of it, and a cubit and a half the height of it:
[2] And he overlaid it with pure gold within and without, and made a crown of gold to it round about.
But to this day nobody knows just what "shittim wood," is. And as an interesting aside, Moses anointed the Priest's ear with blood.
I dunno... When someone says that something is made ENTIRELY of something... that excludes other materials... I mean if we're speaking English and all...
Or ....Were we supposed to infer that their improper wording was supposed to mean that there's no "gold by the inch" brass here.... only real gold.
Who knows... One would think precise language would be important when discussing...oh I don't know... something that God gave instructions to build.
Your headline doesn't indicate it's copied. And the image doesn't say entirely made of gold. Sorry to assume you wrote the headline, but it looks that way, and clearly most people read it that way. It's not a big deal either way, as that volume clearly doesn't match 6 pounds of gold with nothing else added. If you made the error yourself or if you copy-pasted and transferred the error, the post title clearly appears to be wrong.
The main thing is that Trump has many ways to use his riches, and it's pretty awesome that he cares enough to have a replica of The Ark and he dedicated a lot of gold to do it right. Not worth getting hung up on the details.
Right, if 6 pounds of gold is used in the mixture with other metals, then there is still 6 pounds of gold. If it's gold leafed coating then it's gold leaf, but it would still be 6 pounds. It could very well be leaf cause 6 pounds is i think around 72 ounces if my internet search is accurate lol.
It matters to someone who makes things when they say:
Specs matter

fagctoid: shittim wood is acacia, gum arabic tree
No because it is a picture thread... and you can't edit it to include a link.
HOWEVER, I did link it several times, including the very first post in this thread.
Read the comments before you post calling names...
They didn’t say the entire thing only weighed 6 pounds, but that 6 pounds of gold was used.
Exactly what they said was:

iirc the original was supposedly made of wood overlaid with gold.
I don’t care about anything you just said, but you used “infer” correctly so I like you.
Stay tuned ....momentarily is next 🙄🙄🙄
The article didn't say it wrong, but OP put that "entirely made of gold" in the post headline.
I copied and pasted the text from the original tweet with ZERO modifications...

Who said it was entirely out of gold?
96oz
or 87.5 troy
The corrector stands corrected lol, completely missed we’re talking about Troy ounces because I’m too stupid to invest in precious metals
Kinda’ like a “Henweigh”?
OP; it's in the post headline.
See the tweet I linked...
I didn't dv you BTW
Yeah, I wasnt sure if you said it or someone else. Down votes don't hurt my feelings lol. Np.worries.
You are right. 72 Troy ounces.
