RE: King Nebuchadnezzar Made an Image of Gold Sixty Cubits High!
FYI, a cube of gold 14" on a side weighs one ton. A ton of gold is worth about $40 million in today's money. According to wikipedia, gold can be hammered into sheets as thin as 1/250,000 of an inch. So yes, it's unlikely that the image was solid gold.
Dear @barncat,
Thank you for this excellent information and confirmation that the image erected by Nebuchadnezzar was most probably only overlaid with gold.
Blessings, Steven @lastdays
