[QUOTE="Justinian, post: 54952, member: 923"] So.. in case you can't tell by my ownage of posts in this category.. I love reading on history.. One day I was reading some CNN article about a treasure ship that was found somewhere.. I forget. not important now. But it made me wonder.. with all the problems of our world economies right now.. where did all the gold go that actually made it back to the "old world"... ??? Well it didn't take me too long to dig through and find it out. All the fine silks and spices and everything else that rich wanted.. OPIUM... all settled in the Middle East. And the spanish who were taking in a majority of the gold from the new world wanted all this shit. So they were sending boat loads of gold to the Middle East to trade for it. I read something that said even back in those days, the arabs were so overwhelmed with gold coins that they used to do stupid shit with them like make entire necklaces out of spanish dubloons. fashioned lingerie out of them too.. This made them super wealthy.. And also the Brits giving all their territories the right to be free of the crown or however they want to say it.. only made them more wealthy. then once oil was discovered.. game over. This is a very brief process of how Arabian countries became so wealthy. And showing that they were wealthy a long time before the oil came around. [/QUOTE]
