In a nutshell, this is how some think man came to be.... So they say the Anunnaki (an intelligent species which traveled here from many light years away in order to acquire gold about 450,000 thousand years ago) came to Earth looking for the yellow metal we all love so.... Anyhow they got here, said hey plenty of gold on this blue planet, but hey I don't wanna mine it all, that is too much work and way to tedious for us. I know, this less intelligent being that lives here, will splice its genetic code with our own, and create and intelligent worker/SLAVE.... Again people, this is set in stone as the Sumerian history, I did not write it or discover it, just absorbed it all on Ancient Aliens.... What a fun read this is.... http://67.159.223.63/sumerians.htmlI ask you this, if it is all true, and I know that is a big if, but if it were, why would they travel so far for gold? What secrets does it contain as a possible energy source combined with the correct future tech, that would make it so valuable that a species would search the Universe for it? Edited by Silverhawk74

Silverhawk, as a long time history buff, before moving into business...lol...gold was everything to the ancient world. When Columbus sailed his almighty ship over here to the US, he was astonished at how much gold the Indians had.
My point, being, that gold was always, and still rains king for unknown reasons. Its value and desirability is unmatched by virtually anything. My answer to your question is I don't think it possesses any special powers, assuming your story is true, but these aliens traveled for it simply because its gold. Gold symbolizes everything that people wish for - money, luxury, prestige, etc.
Gold is like the T206 Honus Wagner card. Its so sought after just because...
all that card is is a piece of card board. All gold is a shiny rock - kinda lol.
People want it because somewhere along the thought process of the earliest humans came the idea that gold is supreme....get it

Yes I would not take me too serious, as I post stuff like this for the pure entertainment factor, and who knows maybe the info is spot on. None of us were around 450,000 thousand years ago, so just interesting to me to speculate. I know that fellow who wrote the twelfth planet Zecharia Sitchin is way smarter than I, and he if I am not mistaken decoded the Sumerian language as well.... Excellent point Rbethell11 and great example via the Honus Wagner card. It is worth something because we believe it has value, trust in the end. And if everyone else wants it, it must be good.... Interesting quote from this link at the top..... "WHERE does one look for their arrival? Answer: In the Southern skies. The fact becomes incontrovertible once you study Sitchin. He points out that NASA has located a massive black object in the Southern skies, and the recent reactivation of the telescopes in Argentina and Chile seems to indicate a renewed interest in that portion of the heavens. Assimilating all the findings is really beyond the ability of any single person; however, a dedicated team could assemble all the relevant information. Though the information would necessarily be classified "Top Secret", Sitchin has in fact laid out all the secrets in the Earth Chronicles. It is now up to us to revamp our own understanding of who we are as a species called humans so we can, as Sitchin says, "be more prepared when the Anunnaki arrive." Ut O, rof  ....

The Honus Wagner card has value because it is scarce, and nostalgic for some.
Gold and silver have value because they are limited in supply, are finite and take labor to extract and refine.
Lots of things have value, but at the end of the day PMs have UNIVERSAL value. That is, that no matter where I go on this planet, no matter what culture I'm amongst, people understand the intrinsic value of gold and other PMs.
The same cannot be said for baseball cards, booze, paper dollars, hockey pucks or plastic spoons.

Well mitchhailey that's not necessarily true. If I were to travel to Africa, or some other incredibly poor area, and offered them gold for free, I'm sure people wouldn't value it as greatly as I do.
In Africa, if you're a poor person who needs food, and everyone around you is poor and needs food, the gold has absolutely no value. No one has any use for it, and no can afford it. So its virtually worthless in the slums of Africa.
Basically, I'm trying to say that circumstances matter. Yes, my example was extreme - but the value of PMs are not unconditional, as you might think. Things only have value if they A) Serve a purpose or provide a service or B) People are willing and able to pay for it.
In North Africa, or virtually any other incredibly poor area, even the most "valuable" PMs are probably not worth more than a loaf of bread

And I think Mitch would agree that in a SHTF situation, gold and silver will be very sought after, a Honus Wagner card may be used for tissue paper, lol....
O.K., teepee may be a bit extreme. I would smack that guy first, grab that card and stash it away safely, and pray for better days, lol....

Just because something is very old and one of a kind it does not mean it has any value. Like a rock in my backyard the Pawn stars guys will say....
It is your love for the game, memory's in the end. Perhaps a connection to days gone by with family and friends (many of whom may have past on), and the overall fantastic history of baseball that makes the card so special. And many others identify with this....

Well, that explains a lot... Anunnaki DNA + gorilla DNA = human DNA. Not all that far-fetched, really, since ape DNA is about 97% the same as human DNA. The 3% that is different may or may not be an improvement at times.

Rbethell didn't you say in an older post you were 18 and a freshman in college? I don't know if you can call yourself a "long time history buff"
Lol, I just found that amusing :P

Well...an advanced race capable of space travel over light years wouldn't have to come to our distant planet to find gold. Undoubtedly, it's widespread across the Universe, probably created in supernovae.
Back to ancient earth, I'm sure gold was coveted immediately after the first human found a placer deposit.

Actually a Honus Wagner card is really worthless. Just a piece of paper that I have no interest in. Give a poor man gold even in Africa and they know what to do with it. They move out of the poor area. When I was in Northern Africa everyone knew what gold was including the people eating from the scarps I tossed in the trash.
It is actually good timing you mention the poor Africans and their knowledge of gold today. Because the biggest news in a little country in Africa goes like this. Poor African farmers are leaving the fields for gold.
Gold was discovered in the northwest corner of a poor county called the Central African Republic. For the past two years more and more families have arrived to dig for the gold. This includes full families the men, women and children.
Many farmers have abandon their fields to search for gold.
Riches are hard to even imagine in the Central African Republic -- it's ranked among the 10 poorest countries in the world.
So lets not be too quick to say the poor and the starving do not value gold.

I have a creek that runs through my yard and it has a shale and bedrock bottom. I took a screwdriver and dug about two gallons of sand and small minerals. I panned it out and sure enough there was a small group of grainy gold once I got it panned down to the black sand. I live on a hillside overlooking Lake Erie Nd at one time in the distant past glaciers cut out a pretty good sized lake up on top of the hill above me. It was kind of cool finding gold in my yard. Maybe My ancestors were the Anunnaki!

Junior too cool that your panning for gold now in the backyard, lol....
I agree farm, as any poor soul in this world finds a big nugget of gold, they are gonna form a possum grin from ear to ear! Then look both directions and tuck that nugget away, and start thinking their ship has come in and how are they are gonna cash it in, lol....
With my bad luck however, I would not find a giant gold nugget, but perhaps a singin frog like the poor guy on the old Looney tunes cartoon that sings...."Hello my baby, hello my darlin, hello my rag time gal!"
And of course the frog only sings for him, and says ribbit anytime he tries to share his great find, lol....

"Maybe My ancestors were the Anunnaki!"  @ junior e - well if the story is true, then WE are all Anunnaki's half-mixed descendants! |

great reading ...
Junior: when are you next having a barbecue ? I'll bring my own pan, and some steaks ...
I took my boys to a theme park at the far end of the country (3,500 km away) in January, and one attraction was the gold-panning. The 8yo was soon bored, but the 7yo stuck with me until closing time. Some of those grains are very tiny, but my goodness, how they sparkle !
We had already booked our June holiday elsewhere, when I discovered that there is a gold panning competition about 250km from me, but we have put that on the agenda for next year. I don't imagine that he, I, or we are "competitive", but we might be able to learn something by watching and listening to the experts.
SilverHawk: I have done a lot of genealogy, and helped others with theirs. There is certainly a lot of evidence of "alien abductions", and perhaps that is another phase of what you refer to ?
