<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1101867, member: 112&quot;]Well I suppose first of all we have to define pure gold. In simple terms, 24 karat is pure gold. .999 is pure gold. </p><p><br /></p><p>The point that is being questioned is whether or not the ancients - I suppose now we need to define ancients but let&#039;s just settle for a long dang time ago, say 1000 years and be done with it - could produce pure gold.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll deal specifically with the Venetians for the sake of argument. The Venetian records still exist. If you want to look up the specific dates of the documents and the authors of the documents, you can do that. They are all referenced in the book <i>Zecca</i> which contains the history of the Venetian mint. Of course to see them in person you&#039;ll have to go to Venice. And then they probably won&#039;t let you see them. But for those who refuse to believe things - well, there it is.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bottom line, the ancients could produce pure gold. Just like we can today. For those who wish to believe that, then believe it and that&#039;s the end. For those who don&#039;t, there&#039;s nothing I can say to convince you so I&#039;m not going to try anymore.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
