A chronicle of the fascinating and horrific history of gold: a gleaming metal that triggered a universal appetite and bloody quest for its possession.

Gold is power, and it has driven humankind since the dawn of time. As captivating as its beauty is, the pursuit of this precious metal is ruthless. Greed for gold leads people to kill without mercy, destroy entire cultures and embark on suicidal quests. And the global greed for gold continues to this day; it is a crisis currency, highly-desirable in jewellery, global treasure and a coveted commodity. Its price keeps going up, having exploded in the last 40 years. What is the catalyst of the attraction, that keeps the world in suspense? We delve into the mystery of this shiny substance and explore the geological, cultural, political and economic background of gold.
