Why?  How did the cave men know it was valuable and how did they know to refine it?  To me a lot of unanswered questions.   Look at the purity of gold the Egyptians had.  Now try to find out how much gold is stored in the Vatican and other religious sites.Seems we are not being told the whole story, like usual.  JMO</blockquote>
