I doubt it, though its possible, but still. They broke parity violation (whatever that means) but the important point is "conservation of energy remained intact" meaning the energy they get from one atom of gold they could also get from one atom of anything with atomic mass higher than gold.
Also why would a highly advanced species? aliens? race? use humans to mine for gold? Just get the robots out and get it over with. Unless they were extremely stupid to begin with. But then how did they get so advanced?

It really makes perfect sense. Afterall, our monetary value is based on the gold standard. Every economy is backed by Gold, correct? The federal reserve and large banks keep tons of gold stored and locked away. Why? it's just metal right? Seems to me like there is an underlying reason why we collecting gold and locked away other than the simple fact that our ecnomy is backed by it.
Since the dawn of modern man, gold has been mined and considered to be very precious. I don't think it is by any coincidence. It is almost like we were 'programmed' to regard this metal as precious. Modern science will tell us there is infact a lot of great potential in this metal. Perhaps our subconcious is telling us somthing. Or perhaps the government knows somthing we don't and is just waiting for them to come back and take our gold? Who knows.

an iron thunderbolt,
a gigantic messenger of death,

the entire race of the Vrishnis and the Andhakas.
The corpses were so burned
as to be unrecognizable.
Hair and nails fell out;
Pottery broke without apparent cause,
and the birds turned white.
…After a few hours
all foodstuffs were infected…
…to escape from this fire
the soldiers threw themselves in streams
to wash themselves and their equipment."

You said it yourself. If an economist cannot speak definitively for the GODS and somehow mistranslated text (which you cannot prove), then how can you even have an opinion on this topic?

That's an interesting find, to say the least. From my experience in electronics I can say that gold is the best conductor of electricity in existence. Maybe there is a correlation.

Ever wonder why it is worth so much in modern times? Who put this 'worth' to it? It's only an ore and there are plenty of things on Earth that are considered 'rare' so, that's not a good arguement.

I never really understood why gold is so highly prized other than it not rusting and being pretty and shiny and making a good paperweight. I once read somewhere that the only thing keeping chimps and primates from being our slaves was the missing opposable thumbs. Surely such an advanced race of beings could have just given the primates that were already here thumbs and made them servants instead of creating a whole new race?

I agree, it could have been far easier for them to genetic engineer than create robots at that point in their (and our)history.

why would aliens need humans if they could develop robots (dont complain, work 24/7)?

If it only requires the nuclei of a gold atom to produce massive amounts of energy, then why would they need to create a whole species to mine for it?

I find it hard to believe that ancient people were that stupid,. crazy or obsessed with their own fairy tales, fantasies, plays, novels & literature (i.e. things that were no different than ancient versions of novels, video games, television, comic books, movies & other aspects of our modern day pop culture)
