Learn all about the amazing story of precious gold - created when stars explode, mined in Ancient Egypt, made into a mummy mask and buried with a king.
But the tomb is robbed, the mask is stolen and made into something new . . . The gold changes hands and changes shape as centuries pass. It's a prize at the Collosseum in Rome, a gift for Queen Elizabeth I, counterfeit coins in a sea captain's chest, a toothpick holder at Versailles, gold buttons on a waistcoat bound for Australia and a necklace in modern New York.
