Empire of Gold

Gold shined brightly in 2009 that the term “The New Gold Rush” was coined. The price of gold began to skyrocket and as people fought to acquire it, the price has surpassed $1200 per ounce. This battle of pursuit recurs and the price of gold soared during the past 750 years. And in August, 2011! The price of gold surpassed $1900 per ounce and once again it showed its great power.

It has been 40 years since gold standard disappeared in history, but the country that reserves gold still dominates the world and the countries that try to take over struggle to acquire more gold. But why gold? Why do we desire gold?

This program explores the reasons why we obsess over gold and how gold changed the destiny of humanity. The vivid journey that connects the East and the West, land and sea and past and present! In the midst of all, there is the Empire of Gold.
