"About 40 thousand years ago, our ancestors began using this metal as jewelry"
Needless to say I shut the video off at that point.

So you say our ancestors didn't use gold as jewelery?
Or are you saying that we didn't master metallurgy at that stage?
Gold was found as lumps back then too and I guess it was as beautiful then as now :wink:

Besides that, the video didn't add much more than eyecandy for me.

I think he is saying it’s been used a lot longer than 40,000 years
