Why pale Gold?
Ayat al-Kursi in an incomplete form (with one exception 486 Ah)
Bartold said -quoted from al-Istakhri- that the Benjher
River Valley (near Balkh), was one of the outdated
richest silver places in the eastern section of the Muslim
world, had been noted for more than a thousand years
for silver that still exists to the present day.
