Why does it seem to be that gold was so abundant in the ancient world?

251 views

It’s seems to be that gold is pretty common to find in the ancient world regardless of the culture. Statues, jewelry, clothing, etc. However gold just doesn’t seem to be all that abundant. So what happened? Why did gold become so much more rare as time went on, or has it always been this rare? Where were all the major gold mines in the ancient world and are they depleted?

I read somewhere that all the gold that’s ever been found in the history of the world would fill an Olympic size pool.
Whether it’s true or not….beats me.
