Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
Diver soars gracefully through the air.......... clunk....... owww!!
Bullshit!
It is "believed to be true", not that it's confirmed. Because we have NO mining records of the totals mined world wide since gold smithing and mining were done 1000's of years ago. We don't even have good records for how much gold was mined out of California, either, because no records were kept of most of the sales, either. those are estimates and not even 170 years old, either.
How much LESS, then, do we know of quantities of gold mining over the last several 1000's of years, then?
As I learned from Persona 5.
Or as I call it, "3 Munsas".
Hip Hop artists alone wear more gold than that.
This is something that has been taught for years, I first heard a variation of this from a geography/history teacher in 5th grade, and that was in the 80's. She said "Three classrooms filled to the ceiling".
Icall bullshit. Now days, it may be reported as such but gold has been mined across the globe by virtually every civilization since the beginning of recorded history.
OP here, don't blame me! Blame TED-Ed! I just thought it was an interesting fact to share. If it's wrong, someone should come up with proof and let 'em know!
