In fact, gold may have been one of the first metals to be used by the human dwellers of prehistoric times, because of its beautiful pure color, and its cooperative workability. For Genesis 2:11 described the land of Havilah as a source of gold, which in Hebrew is called 'charuts' or 'zahab'. And over 4,600 years ago, the ancient Egyptians boasted that their land had more gold than dirt. Some 1,500 years later, their land was the site of the world's first known map. Now housed in Italy, at the Egyptian Museum of Turin, the Papyrus detailed the geology and gold mine of Nubia, along the Nile from modern-day southern Egypt through northern Sudan.
