This is sucha nice documentary to fall asleep to, I had dreams of Gold and seeing gold statues.

Gold is also one of five metals on the periodic table of elements considered permanent since it does not vaporize, it does not dissolve in water, it does not rust, it does not spontaneously combust, and it is not radioactive. It became the perfect money, as did silver. Everything else is just credit. The dollar, the pound, then yen; just credit. Currency. Not money

This documentary on gold has a huge gap which is the story of India in gold, even today the highest amount of privately held gold is with Indian women. Gold is embedded with Hindu customs and culture. India has a history of more than 5000yrs and gold can be traced all the way back, with many gods representing the gold and wealth, both male and female gods.

i'm glad stewie found something to keep him busy now that family guy is cancelled...

Gooooooold! The way the narrator say's it, sound like he's having more then an esthetic attraction to it.

GOLD IS REAL MONEY EVERYTHING ELSE IS FIAT

Interesting documentary. Watching the massive accumulation of gold by China, India, Russia, Poland, Hungary, Singapore, UAE, Qatar etc, global central bankers are buying and storing gold at a rate not seen in more than 50 years. Financial markets and gold are signaling future economic distress and a return to high inflation.

Fun fact: Bulgaria's Varna Gold Treasure is considered the oldest processed gold in the world dating back to the time of the Chalcolithic (Eneolithic, Copper Age) the Varna Culture (is usually dated to 4400-4100 BC)

I understand more about world economics and power from this than I've learned in my 78 years so far. And I see that in order to restructure the world system to a global one, trust in national governments and the American dollar must be destroyed. Thus the current chaos and upheaval.

"Metal was never again going to be put before people" what a great sentence, you just forgot to say that now Oil is put before the metal and people.

An interesting documentary to listen to as a goldsmith. When you use it as a material for your art you certainly feel as if you could never have too much of it: it's incredibly frustrating when a design can't be made because you haven't enough gold to spare or because it would cost too much to be likely to sell without some fashionable label appended to it.

Exciting news! The inclusion of Rose number [499] beautifully symbolizes our collaborative efforts in this creative garden at CoinEra. Let's continue nurturing this shared space together! 🌹🌷🌼 Thank you for being an integral part of it! 😊💖

Gold and Silver are Gods money.

Its funny they blame the white European but it's usually the Spanish or the Portuguese

Moses was never instructed to build any tabernacle in gold. The Ark of the covenant was covered in gold.

This is one of the finest docu work till date. Amazing work.

This Documentary is great, and not to be missed,. Even the "Pissarro incident" takes anything away from its cultural value: Great job guys! Thank you to whoever shared it on the net. Thank you so much.

And without gold as money inflation has run ramped, but the same 20 dollar gold piece will buy a suite today as it would in the 20s , but you have to have 2k dollars for the same suite using Fiat currency.

The history of the world goes back a lot longer then that, The scriptures from India go back a lot farther then that.

Hmm... If gold was as common as sand no one would care about it. What the obsession is about prestige and glory. Nowadays gold has a practical use as heatsink in different electronical applications however so it makes sense to dig for it.

Power is greater than gold. Gold is just a symbol of power.

Keynes called the gold standard a barbarous relic, NOT gold. Big difference.

Thanks for the awesome video. My first time on this channel and I’m glad I browsed it.

This is an EXCELLENT Documentary!! 🥰🥰🥰

We need to return to a world where bank notes (aka Federal Reserve Notes) can be converted to gold on demand. Clearly the current system of fiat currency is not working.

Awesome thank you for sharing this !!

'pure gold, never debased', 'dollar of the middle ages', Quite a thing to have in one sentence

I worked 3200 m below ground , in different levels . Done mining , will write a book /movie . After your day shift , called out Saturday night to find the last body . Walk in the tunnel and see where other bodies were found . Young white guy got sent right in , 90 cm space ,angled shovel . Find the last guy 24 hours later in humid conditions Gave me thoughts , under the 'skin ' we are pretty much the same :-)

oh look now with no gold standard private organisations print money out of nothing then apply a debt to owed by us . legend move

History is too often taught with an Agenda. I noticed you left out the Depression of 1920-1921. How the Government solved it with deep spending cuts. Because of your neglect, you would not / could not contrast that with the Great Depression. Not how the Great Depression was greatly extended because of the Government's exact opposite approach (increasing spending rather than cutting spending). Nor did you mention that the POTUS changed the exchange rate (after making gold illegal) which inflated the currency effectively stealing money. Nor did you say anything about how the US Constitution states that Gold and Silver are money (see ArtI.S10.C1.3 Legal Tender). The question is, are you intentional or neglectful?

Legends has it that the land of the free who loved liberty still spreading freedom to places where oil and gold are discovered.

I never understood why gold cost so much. It's not good for anything until recently. It's too soft to make anything useful out of. The only thing its good for is to make jewelry out of. And that's no help to mankind. The only thing is useful for is to coat other metals that transmit electrical signals. At least diamonds have a use.

and if humans mine all gold out of existence. they will cry and fight over something else.

Great documentary! Enjoyed it fully

I really wished I could turn off the soundtrack. The same few musical scores were repeatedly recycled, and often without regard for their appropriateness to the event being discussed. It became quite cliché and distracting.

Narrated by Paul Darrow who played Avon in Blake's 7.

I'm constantly amazed by the quality and creativity in your videos. You have a unique way of bringing music and images together.

1929-----that can happen when people are ""allowed"" to buy stock on 'margin'

Author of random book about gold "gold is basicly useless" literally 33 seconds later "it's used in electronics".😂

2:10:05 I was blown away. After 2 hours of making the case that gold brought wealth to the people, a remark is unleashed suggesting that the two were at odds. It's like saying one person not breathing means more oxygen for everybody else, so never again would oxygen be put ahead of people. Oxygen IS the people. And the case was made that gold was good for the people.

Impressive!!!!

2:17:33 The degree to which the value of the dollar's future has been sunk for cronies to profit in the here and now, one could argue that the world DID end in any meaningful way.

The music is too prominent, this is NOT an action movie!

The Gold Camp needs a Los Levi Store and a Taco Truck for sure.

I am glad I am watching this again. I want to visit Lydia. Thee Roman's are really smart.

I dont understand how ton after ton after ton of gold can be extracted, by all these mines, EVERY SINGLE YEAR, DECADE. AFTER. DECADE. And yet the entirety of the Earth's mined gold supply could also somehow fit under the eiffel tower?? Someone explain to me.

The cost=millions of Life throughout history.

They need to give that gold back to the Peruvian people.

I found the quick pass over of leaving the gold standard as unfulfilling, superficial.

GOLD

Great documentary, really liked it but it can be made with more accurate information. Would love to see that as well.

türkçe altyazı ekler misiniz lütfen

@ 48 .46 , that is South African gold from the Rand Refinery ! :-)

This series is from 2003 so keep that in mind, a lot of the info will be outdated.

I personally believe there is a not often mentioned BIOLOGICAL connection humans have. The drive to seek find and process gold is deep within our being.

So what did Isaac Newton establish as the silver/gold ratio?

Great Summary! I pray God peace is with you! I understand if you need a break tonight! Margaritas and mysteries are my favorite but your health and happiness comes first. We are praying for your husband's safety and for to turn into a miracle day for yourself.

I was on the end of some of those rockdrills , meet the mlungu :-)

Gold is useless... OK grandpa time for bed.

I learned a lot of history ❤ Thank you ❤️🙏💯

Gold had fueled the global economy for centuries. Prized by kings, gods and industrialists, the history of gold came to an abrupt end in the 20th century and was systematically replaced by the Global Debt Based Economy which allowed for much larger loans provided by the Federal Reserve Bank, a privately owned institution.

The mining of GOLD in SPACE is not a new idea (I LOVE GOLD ... it has many uses, not just the aesthetic /sentimental appreciation ... Medical,et al - Even " Golden ARMS " all flippancies aside , The arm s of IVDU'S is worth thousands of Dollars after years of addiction. The prospects of Mining in Space on an Industrial scale is to be found in Science Fiction , not only in Literature , also in Film ,etc. "DUNE " & S, and a mutitude of Star Wars, and a multitude of others. Does anyone recall one Super Hero grabbing a lump of coal with the sheer force of his forefinger drilling through it & creating A Diamond Engagement ring.

3:11 Let me guess, the rest is the bar code sticker they had to melt with it?

IT'S NOT USELESS!!!!!!!! And if gold wasn't rare, it would still have many uses therefore it wouldn't be worthless! It's thermal and electrical conductivity alone would mean almost everything we use today would be more efficient.

49:24 weve learned nothing about gold this far into the video

बहुत ही सुन्दर ❤

I imagine a world without gold, silver and diamonds. Then there would be world peace.

Video is not loud enough. I have all audio settings maxed out.

Gold is useless😂😆🤣. Yeah tell that to NASA and Elon. It has many many uses. Even health. Atomised Gold powder.

13:29 lol and it comes in nuggets!!! 😂

Spain was cursed after they stole the Inca gold 😊

I love the sound effects

OWN GOLD ? ETF GLD BETTER THAN BIT COIN !

2:17:24 In a fiat paradigm, the price of everything rises. It's a natural side effect of telling ANYBODY (rulers and enforcers) that they have rights and powers that none of us have. You cannot tell a man he can fly, and also be able to bridle that imagination.

How did they collect all that amount of gold? I assume placer in the creeks but still need a lot of extraction equipment needed, only pans would not enough for all that......

Its very simply, Gold was always easy to finding, on the River or Rock, but for other Metall you need more knowledge.

No mention of Pilgrims Rest here in SA , shame , was wild East :-)

“My precious!!”

What early civilization had the most Gold all time?

The love of money is the root of all evil and global warming nowadays

And now the dollar is garbage.

The homeowners association has had several complaints…

What came first. The color or the mineral 🤔

I found a nice nugget today! Yee Haw😅

2:13:54 You need to define your terms. "Inflation" refers to an increase in the money supply. Something that cannot happen on a gold standard. But does when a government thinks it can control that which deserves to be free. "Prosperity led to inflation" is one of the most patently false claims I've ever heard.

Great video😊

AI overlords now aswell as the future singularity is also in great need of nothing other than all of the/your gold!!! Our circuit boards should be massive and full of golden layered components. Even when the Robot wears gold like jewelry its not a external piece. We integrate it into the metal/gold plated exteriour of the delicate hardware interiour.

Gold the mystery of the Universe, its beauty unrivaled.

In gold we trust

We were made to mine gold for our owners. They simply had a difficult go at it.

Moneda in Spanish means coin

I think the word "empire" has been seriously depreciated. Lydia or Phrygia were tiny little kingdoms. I doubt they even had governors under the king. They did not have multiple ethicities, religions, cultures under their rule either. Why do you keep calling them Empires? The only Empire of the time was Achaemenid Empire which span from Afghanistan to Greece, Egypt to Caucasus and had multiple ethnicities, cultures and religions under the Shah. It was organized as an Empire with multiple Satraps ruling as governors of Egypt, Anatolia, Mesopotamia, etc...

there doesnt seem to much stock in the annunaki at this time, it is well understood that it was the annunaki that needed it for their planet and so it became the gift of the gods that made gold so desirable ................

We dig up heave soft metal to lock it up in vaults. 😊 We should be farming. 😅

Total misunderstanding of inflation and economics in the modern times when England and US went of gold standard

First Globe of the Earth ever produced 1492. Although the circumference and sphericity of the Earth is claimed to have been known since ancient times(Eratosthenes), somehow, even with a Globe model, Columbus somehow believe he is in India when landing in the Caribbean. This is nearly 10,000 miles from where he thought he was on the "Globe". These navigational facts about the Columbus voyages, prove it to be misinformation working for the Pope, the Catholic Church, and the King of Spain, leading up to the line of Demarcation which literally gave the Pope and the European empires control of the entire Earth by political/religious decree. Sorry, but nearly everything about the Columbus story is easily proved false!

Good

Who were the coin clippers?

What would Gold have to be valued at if we go back to the Gold Standard and would the Government confiscate the gold now in possession of average citizen as they did in the 1933 Gold Confiscation Act by FDR.

I thought they changed the name Gold to Rothschild...
