The Golden Puzzle

In ancient civilizations the gold element was a source of life; in their cosmology the four brotherly elements: earth, air, water and sun (fire) were free of cost; gold on the other hand was also free of cost, children played with gold nuggets on roads and trails, the metal was used as ornamental; Inca bathed in gold dust rubbing it into wounds on his body, exposing himself to the sun to identify with it, and fusing with the golden astro to heal internally and externally.

But later, this metal became part of a chain of exploitation and ambitious business processes throughout a long traumatic history.
