If it had been silver foil, I would assume she was just making some Jiffy Pop when she passed away.

It was a Mark 0 Stark Industries prototype.

Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.

Why did they bury gold in that fashion? Popular answer would be that the woman meant a great deal to her society.
But does that increase or decrease the value in which they held gold? Was it plentiful at the time?
It’s a rare day in this century that anyone would bury loved ones smothered in gold.

Strange thing to do with your gold, I must say. Good thing it’s incorruptible!
To: bunkerhill7
I think this is rude and crude that you are cheapening this wonderful archeological find...by comparing it to Goldfinger...You should be ashamed of yourself....Have you no respect...for the ancient Greeks? Have you class...Have you no cooth?
Please apologize now...or your door will be darkened by an old woman carrying a cane....

Ya can’t eat it, so you may as well be buried with it.
