Throughout history, gold has played a vital role in the beliefs and customs of ancient civilizations. From Egypt and Rome to the Aztecs and Incas, gold found its place in religious artifacts, ceremonial items, and even currency. Gold is significantly associated with Greek mythology, with the golden apple tree gifted to the goddess Hera by her grandmother Gaia. A golden apple from this tree gave rise to the Trojan War (1). The legend of King Midas and his golden touch also does not fall far behind in terms of importance. In the Bible, gold was among the three presents given to infant Jesus by the Three Wise Men (2). It has always been a coveted item, an object of fascination for alchemists who believed that the elusive Philosopher’s Stone would turn base metals into gold. This connection formed the groundwork of modern-day Chemistry, further strengthening the significance of gold (3).
