The person's name is lost in antiquity. But, most peoples had gold early on and knew how to mold it into valuable objects and ornaments.The person's name is lost in antiquity. But, most peoples had gold early on and knew how to mold it into valuable objects and ornaments.Where does gold come From? We all know how precious gold is in our world - past, present and future - but do we really know where does gold come from? It is common to see that gold is actively used in investments and that gold has a place in our society?s economical and cultural scene but it would also be interesting to find out where does gold come from in order to fully understand the origins of gold and appreciate its role in our lives.When questioned about where does gold come from, some scientists are of the opinion that gold was formed as a result of supernova explosions way back when our Earth was still a very young planet in the universe. Others offered explanation pointing to the creation of lava which led to the formation of gold underground long before man roamed the earth. Since then, the amount of gold has been constant and so far, man has never been able to replicate gold either by alchemy or pure scientific procedures. Today, beyond thinking about where does gold come from, many people are scrambling to buy gold bullion.Since the beginning of time, man all over the world have clamoured for gold due to its beauty and apparent value. Loose gold in nugget form was first found in stream beds and made into precious treasure and used as currency in Crete, Egypt and Sumer, but experts and historians say that it could be either Egyptians and Sumerians who discovered gold since 3,000 BC. A question more important than who discovered gold is the question ?Who made gold popular??. While it is not known the exact person who discovered gold, most researchers will agree that it is the Egyptians and Sumerians that popularized the culture of using gold as both decorations and a symbol of wealth.After the Egyptians and Sumerians made gold a strong element in the economic front, it was the Roman Empire who married gold with fine gems to further enhance the usage of gold in society. Native Americans on the other hand, dabbled with the fine arts of creating gold alloys and mechanical plating to make gold even more desirable. Fast forward to modern day California. The Gold Rush is an important even in gold history, so it is no wonder that everyone is asking who discovered gold that led to the Gold Rush in California. The person in question is a young lumber mill worker called James W. Marshall who discovered gold in the area. I added a LINK to this page, it sure is helpful.

How long was the Australian gold rush kept a secret?
Gold was discovered in Australia as early as 1823, but discoveries were kept secret for a number of reasons. First, there was the fear of sparking off unrest among the convicts. There was concern that, if the convicts heard about these discoveries, they would be more likely to attempt escape, and find their way to the goldfields to either look for gold, or to become bushrangers. This is why the first unofficial discovery of gold by Surveyor James McBrien at the Fish River near Bathurst, NSW in 1823, was kept quiet. When Reverend WB Clark found gold near Lithgow in 1941, he was requested by Governor Gipps to keep quiet about it. Gipps is reported to have said, "Put it away, Mr Clarke, or we will all have our throats cut!" The discoveries were often made on good land. Settlers did not want a sudden influx of prospectors trooping over their properties, ruining good pastureland for their livestock, or damaging crops. They certainly did not want to risk the lawlessness that would inevitably follow. Not did they want their workers leaving in droves to find gold. Prior to 1851, any gold discoveries automatically belonged to the government. There was no motivation for individuals to go out and actively seek gold, and certainly no motivation for them to make these discoveries public.

Well in America Jhon A. Sutter discovered gold, but no one knows who discovered gold first, seeing as that was THOUSANDS of years ago.
