Description

In the history of mankind there were the Stone Age and the Bronze Age, the Iron Age and the Atomic Age. According to myths, they were preceded by a Golden Age. In fact, the entire history of civilization is itself a golden age. In the, without any exaggeration, eternal golden objects, the spirit of the times, the talent, knowledge and skills of many generations have been preserved. Gold gleamed on the domes of temples and cathedrals, on sumptuous royal chambers and palaces. Gold emphasized royal majesty and feminine beauty. In the form of crystals and nuggets, gold adorns private and museum collections. This book tells of this remarkable material; among its authors are leading art historians, archaeologists, ethnographers and geologists of Russia. The book is intended for a wide range of readers interested in the history of gold-bearing regions, the development of the gold business, and the work of master jewelers.
