Golden Ball

It was thought to be a historical fiction, an ancient tale that bore no truth. Similarly, the expeditions were thought foolish, and indeed the expeditions were all fruitless. All but one, that is. The artifact was finally found buried deep under the earth, entombed in a sealed, gilded box.

An international committee was established to oversee the research program studying the artifact. Of course, they were not especially interested in the artifact's scientific value, but instead were wary of the potentially catastrophic economic consequences if the artifact was to be misused.

Despite the oversight, abuses were inevitable and unstoppable. Not everyone was immune to greed, and the markets teetered towards collapse with each influx of artificial gold.

To save the global economy, the oversight committee finally came to a decision: To destroy the Hand of Midas, thus forever preventing its use. The chosen method was destruction by atomization, reducing the artifact to a fine molecular dust.

That was a mistake, the greatest one in our history. The Hand of Midas was not destroyed even when reduced to dust; each atom retained its properties.

As the golden dust was scattered by the winds, the Earth was turned into a golden ball, slowly, but surely.
