I need HELP on history!!?

Ok, why is salt more valuable than gold, im doing a class project. this is what i have so far, so PlEASE dont repeat! these are questions i have for a group debate

1. Can gold preserve food like salt can?
2. Does gold give delicious flavor to different kinds of food like salt can?
3. Is gold needed in your diet like salt is?
4. Is gold as easy to find as salt is?
5. Gold is just a shiny rock, what makes that so special?

What value does gold have other than what we say it has?

What practical use does gold have outside of the electronics and jewelry industry? Tulips in Denmark come to mind when I think about gold. In the past few weeks gold has shot up, and if there is another economic depression I imagine that it will climb even higher.

But in a world where people are trying to survive, what will they do with their gold? At least salt can be used to preserve meat and flavor food. What would anyone want with gold when they’re busy trying to survive? Is gold the ultimate fool’s bubble?
Can anyone say WHY it is “the pure currency” or why it has value?
What I see are people buying gold out of fear, not out of love of the metal.

2012 Mayan Prophecy Coin

  • 1 3/4 inch (44mm) Round
  • Bronze Antique

This 2012 Mayan prophecy medallion is an ornate replica of the mystic Mayan calendar that some believe will mark the end of mankind’s current history and the beginning of a new dawn.

According to the 2012 Mayan Prophecy legend, the Mayan civilization developed their long count calendar to mark the end of the great life cycle and the beginning of a new era in man’s cosmic journey. The Mayans are said to believe that their calendar not only marked time but predicted the evolution of the human race. The Mayan’s current life cycle started in 3,000 B.C. and ends on the Winter Solstice on December 21, 2012.

The obverse of the coin displays a sacred Mayan temple above the 2012 “prophecy.” The reverse of the coin shows the intricate Mayan calendar created around the Mayan sun god Tonatiuh.

Minted in deep relief using a special “splash minting” process, this 2012 Mayan Prophecy coin is struck and finished in antique bronze.
