It's staggering to think of so much value and history being kept in there for so many years.

This just proves how wealthy temples and churches are...all over the world.
And God loves GOLD...and diamonds...and....artworks...
(Sorry, I'll stop before I get too cynical).

Thanks for the article, Kathie.
BTW, studies estimate that if they put together all the gold owned in India, India would be one of the richest countries in the world. Imagine that.
