What were two developments that the Chinese people kept secret for as long as possible?
Two significant developments that the Chinese people kept secret for a long time were the production of silk and the invention of gunpowder. Silk production was a closely guarded secret for centuries, as it was a major economic asset and symbol of wealth. Similarly, the knowledge of gunpowder's formulation, which originated in China, was kept from foreign powers to maintain military superiority until it eventually spread beyond China's borders.
How long ago was it when gold was found?
Gold has been known and used by humans for thousands of years, with evidence of gold artifacts dating back to around 4000 BC in ancient civilizations such as those in Egypt and Mesopotamia. The discovery of gold in its natural state likely occurred even earlier, as humans have been drawn to its shiny appearance and malleability. Thus, gold has been known to humanity for approximately 6,000 years.

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.
