79 Gold See the connection between the Sun and gold
From the earliest times gold was compared with the sun, it was called the solar metal or simply by the sun (Sol).
The alchemist symbol for gold - a circle with a dot in the center, is identical with the symbol for the sun.
In the alchemic literature gold was indicated with many words, usually encoded, such as: zaras, trikor, sol, sonir, secur, senior, etc., and also several words with an Arab origin, for example al-bahag (gladness), hiti (cat dung), ras (head, principle), su'a (ray), diya (light), and alam (peace).

79 Gold and Egypt
79 Gold and Egypt
Spectacular gold castings are known from ancient Egypt, such as the coffin of Tutankhamun (a minor Pharaoh who was only 18 when he died), which contained no less than 112 kg of gold.
The Gold mines of Egypt were in Nubia. Hence the ancient Egyptian name for gold - nub.
Early gold and silver ornaments from the Indian subcontinent are found from Indus Valley sites such as Mohenjodaro (ca 3000 BC).
The ancient Indian word ayas for Gold was later used in other languages for the designation of copper, which, possibly, serves as indication of propagation in the antiquity of false gold

79 Gold Rich and the Gold
Some of the early rich finds of gold artifacts were from the cemeteries in Bulgaria in Europe (5th millennium BC) with accouterments of hammered and sheet gold.
Some of the most elegant gold vessels made by the repousse technique come from the Mesopotamia (ca 2500 BC). The Babylonian name for gold - hurasu has a distant resemblance to the Ancient Greek word Χρυσος [chrysos], which is found in the earliest texts. Possibly, this word originates from the name of the place where Gold was found

79 Gold History and Etymology
79 Gold History and Etymology
Heres what I found out about Au 79-
The elements Copper, Silver, and Gold are collectively known as the "coinage metals" because of their former usage. These elements were almost certainly the first three metals known to man. All of them occur in the elemental, or "native", form and must have been used as primitive money long before the introduction of gold coins in Egypt around 3400 BC.
