Gold seems never to have held to allure for China that it did Europe, Africa and Mesoamerica
Always wondered why the yuanbao shape was so popular for ingots in China instead of something that stacks better. How did they transport them originally, were they stacked like this on shelves or just one big mound?
Nevermind the pile of silver, im more interested in the pile of Yorkshire puddings in front of it.
Is the silver mountain hollow? Like they stacked it around shelving to make the mountain or it’s silver all the way through?
