It always comes back to this....why go to the trouble of creating a race to mine gold, on a planet with so little gold??
Why not just create the gold or mine it elsewhere in the universe where it is more abundant? Seems logical that a race with the power to create and control life, travel the universe freely at faster than light speeds would be able to create basic elements.
Its fantasy, like religion. A mix of mis translation and mis interpretation.

it's the difference between linear and non-linear thinkers, some people will never get it until it's too late and their life's been wasted on "waiting"

Just because something CAN change doesn't mean it will.

you're anthropomorphizing an advanced species which is probably not gonna get you anywhere. What do you think they were talking about then, the latest crocodile hunt?
you can read all the stories you want. the existence of ancient gold mines in S. Africa is enough proof for me

There exist no known stories from the ancient world concerning gods forcing humans to mine gold.
So, what do you think they were talking about?
Haven't I linked you to English translations of the myth you're referencing?
Did you not read these?

They were capable of interplanetary travel, could build free energy generators from stones but they couldn`t figure out how to build a gold mining machine? That doesn`t make sense to me.
