Gold has many properties. But what made it "the thing" to have and accumulate is its property of inertness. It never tarnishes so it is a metal of choice for jewelry. It is estimated that in India, families and temples hold 50000+ tons and in China 30,000 tons. Inca and Peruvian kings also held vast quantities of the precious metal, most of which now, is in Spain (my guess). I have seen in Mexico, e.g. Morelia, whole walls and altars in Churches covered in thick layers of gold. It is estimated that oceans hold 20 million tons of dissolved gold. Was original gold also made in the stars? Do enlighten me.
All heavy elements were forged in the heart of huge stars, necessary to crush smaller atoms together into larger-nucleus atoms in their core, before they were expelled in violent supernovae. The larger the star the faster it burns its fuel.
As you said mesopotamia is the acient civilised of human and as read the Abraham was migrated from there to mecca to continue the construction of kabba that was started by Adam....as classical migrate to modern civilised I think the concentration of bullion in the mesopotamia region leads to prolonged and unresolved chaos and struggle from the renaissance till today...and as Darwin Anglogold an economist said bullion is the ultimate goal of a state....and as it ha been obvious that bullion is useful in all human security ,to construct health equipment, monetary, defence,economic and airspace, communication and home appliances.
In this case the struggle of insatiable appetite of human race cannot be eradicated in unreasonable and prolonged war in the universe...and that is what create the political and economical bloc....just syphoning the resources for the each country personal interest
