Good evening, this second chapter on alchemy and the Art of gold making has me thinking, that of course this is real, and is something huge that they do not want people to know. The author comes up with a number of instances where the elite of the time ban the art. What he says about England and their relationship with gold is interesting. The real question is how much of the gold has come out of the earth, and how much of it was made. I got an overwhelming push from the Spirit on this. I don't know how long, but they are making gold.

Technology began with Hephaestus, or Vulcan, the world's first metallurgist, according to Greek mythology. His workshop - a sparkling dwelling of bronze - was on Mount Olympus. But eventually he settled in Sicily on Mount Etna, and legends affirm that the smoke from the crater comes from the furnaces of the god. Although the author has seen this smoke from Taormina, he could not confirm whether Hephaestus was still at his anvil.

Greek myths speak of the four ages of man. First came the Golden Age, followed by the Silver Age, after which arrived the Bronze Age. The last epoch is the Iron Age in which we live today. Although iron is more plentiful than copper or gold, it is more difficult to melt and forge. Thus the ancient Greeks told us about the progress of metallurgy by this simple tale of how it had started with soft metals and ended with hard iron.

The Stone Age, which had lasted for a long time, was followed by the Chalcolithic Age, when the old perfected stone implements were mainly used but copper tools and weapons were also making their appearance as luxuries.
