A 3,300-year-old treasure trove of gold found in northern Germany has stumped German archeologists. These chains are thought to be an ancient form of bullion, rather than jewelry.

One theory says that traders transported it thousands of miles from a mine in Central Asia, but other experts are skeptical.

The trove was found during construction work for a natural gas pipeline.

Is that a cabuchon saphire? If so, that is my ring. That is my birthstone.

There is plenty of evidence that human greed led to globalized trade more than 3,000 years ago.

"Journalists" just can't get past their script. Even 3,000 year old global trade was a Bad Thing driven by "greed"?

The 1.8 kilograms (4 pounds) of gold, which was found in a field, consists of some jewelry, but primarily spirals of gold wire, which are tied together in chains consisting of 10 spirals each. This isn't jewelry...

Well, of course it isn't. It's how we preppers keep our gold holdings. Now will you please tell them to return my stash?
