It's just the ingrained belief of the Oligarch to not advanced working conditions for the common person, but to keep the system always a sterilized machine, that only benefits the ones at the top.
The old romans had an idiocy problem if they saw the steam engine worked but declined to further develop it. The Mars rovers don't really look like much better than an academic excercise (like Hero's steam engine) but if we don't continue to develop those puny little robots, then we can say good bye to Mars exploration.edit on 6-3-2012 by MarkScheppy because: a

Raises hand!!!
Because it sounds cool, contradicts the mainstream, sticks it to religion and promotes a 'humans are stupid' credo

Perhaps the "gold" the Annunaki needed actually meant something a little different. The myth is that the Annunaki's sun was dying out and they needed to revive it so they could continue to live on their homeworld. In alchemy, gold is equated to the sun. Highly advanced technology could have been used to get this energy. Since it would be extremely difficult to explain how they did this, they used "gold" as an alchemical metaphor. Maybe the Annunaki used energy from our sun in order to save their own?
Just a thought.

I believe the annunaki used the gold to create "shields" for their broken ozone layer.
Sounds familiar? hehe

Yes...I agree with this,as this is the way it is depicted in all of the ancient writings.

Next time I want a sandwich, I'm going to the deep Amazon, force some poor native to plant me a tomato tree and spend a year growing grain for bread...instead of going to the closes vending machine. Makes PERFECT sense, just like that ridiculous Annunaki hypothesis. Yes, hypothesis and not theory! Why? Because for it to be a theory it would require facts and objective evidence as backup, which it simply hasn't.

Mining a habitable planet for gold is utter ignorance. Plenty of places in the universe to find good without the trouble or managing a biological species to mine it for you.
How this stuff survives as a topic only indicates the compete and willful ignorance of the majority interested I this topic.
Please folks, stop and use common sense reason and logic before subscribing to such outlandish tripe.

Do some research of the universe and you will find that elements we have here may not exist other solar systems or galaxies.
According to John E. Ross and Lawrence H. Aller (1971) of the University of California, the solar abundance of gold can be expressed as
log [ N(Au) / N(H) ] + 12 = 0.7
Which means that there is one atom of gold for each 200 billion atoms of hydrogen, in the sun.
Assumptions.
1. The composition of the sun is typical of the universe in general.
2. The universe contains 300 billion galaxies.
3. The mass of the average galaxy is 300 billion solar masses.
4. Hydrogen comprises of 75% of universe's mass.
The mass of the sun is 1.99e30 kilograms. The mass of the assumed average galaxy is 5.97e41 kg. The mass of the universe is 1.79e53 kg.
The mass of the hydrogen in the universe is 1.34e53 kg. The mass of a hydrogen atom is 1.674e-27 kg. There are 8e79 hydrogen atoms in the universe.
There are 4e68 gold atoms in the universe. A mole of gold atoms weighs 0.197 kg. There are 6.022e23 atoms in a mole. One atom of gold has a mass of 3.27e-25 kg.
The mass of the universe's gold is 1.31e44 kilograms, which is about 66 trillion times the mass of the sun, or equal to the mass of about 219 average galaxies.
131 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 metric tons.
At first glance, CS 22892-052 looks like a run-of-the-mill old star. Born about 13 billion years ago, only 700 million years after the big bang, it is lacking in many of the shinier, more interesting elements. But look closer, and you'll see that this stellar granny is adorned with gold.
With only hydrogen, helium and a bit of lithium to work with initially, the earliest generations of stars kept things simple. So how to explain abnormally high concentrations of gold, platinum, uranium and other heavy elements in a handful of the Milky Way's senior residents?
One theory is that they could have been enriched when a partner star exploded nearby, giving the survivor a rich dusting in heavy elements.
A new study, however, unhinges that theory.
By tracking the orbital motions of the metal-rich ancient stars, scientists realized the vast majority of them are traveling solo in a halo above and below the galaxy's flat central disc.
"A companion star — if there was one — would have left behind an optically undetectable black hole, neutron star or faint white dwarf," astrophysicist Terese Hansen, with the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen, told Discovery News.
But the remnant companion would have a gravitational influence on the visible star's orbit, which would be detectable, she added.
The other explanation for why 1 to 2 percent of the galaxy's most ancient stars are flush with heavy metals is that they formed from a cloud of molecular gas enriched with the exploded remains of earlier stars.

Our solar system is an iron solar system. They were forced here by a calamity that happened in their native solar system. A planet that drifts through space in darkness except for distant stars would take an extreme amount of resources and time. It appears that one of the resources they NEEDED to survive was gold. You run out of petrol you go to a petrol station for a fill right? You may have a gascan in the garage but it wont fill your tank and the station is just a drive away.
ScienceDaily (Mar. 12, 2012) — Chemists at Brown University have created a triple-headed metallic nanoparticle that reportedly performs better and lasts longer than any other nanoparticle catalyst studied in fuel-cell reactions. The key is the addition of gold: It yields a more uniform crystal structure while removing carbon monoxide from the reaction....
ScienceDaily (Mar. 15, 2012) — Hydrogen fuel cells, like those found in some "green" vehicles, have a lot of promise as an alternative fuel source, but making them practical on a large scale requires them to be more efficient and cost effective.
We are very encouraged by our first attempts that suggest that we can create two cost-effective and highly active palladium- and gold-based catalysts -for hydrogen fuel cells, a clean and renewable energy source," Stolbov said.
