History

The earliest evidence of human use of platinum comes from Egyptian burial tombs around 1200 BCE. However, many scholars believe the gold-and-platinum hieroglyphs that adorned boxes in the tomb werent necessarily made to include platinum. Scholars believe that the Egyptians may not have realized the platinum was in the gold or recognized what it was. Pre-Columbian indigenous tribes in the Americas produced gold-platinum artifacts that it is believed were created through a process known as sintering, wherein heat is used to compact metals together using heat and pressure without melting the metals to liquefaction.
