What is the real truth about gold and why is it valuable?

There are many truths about most things. Gold has long been valued and prized. This comes not only because of its material properties, its scarcity, its beauty, its convenience as a store of value when considered to be money. But also historically has had a place in history in a way few people know. It was sought by an early extraterrestrial incursion for purposes of their own and they came and did gold mining for centuries to extract this material for use in their own world and also enslaved humanity to serve them in this way. This left a very, very deep karmic legacy within humanity in knowing how highly prized gold is. And that has a bearing as well. There are other precious materials that could be suitable, but that is the deep historical and karmic history behind gold and its place in the iconic level as representing value. The other attributes, to be sure, are valid and are worthy in seeing gold as special. And if you look at what nations do in their finances, you will find that all across the world, all major nations and some smaller countries as well, hold significant stores of gold. They will say publicly "gold is a barbarous relic" to diminish public interest in its ownership because they want their own invented money to be seen as valuable, but the inner truth of things is gold is really the centerpiece of worth and value and will underpin the world finances for long to come.
