    		Probably the biggest solid gold object in existence is the innermost of three coffins of the Egyptian King Tutankhamen, which weighs 2,447 pounds (more than a ton).

    		FIVE TONS ?

    Temple of the Golden Buddha (Wat Traimitr)
    Yaowarat Road and Charoen Krung, Bangkok

    Home to the largest solid gold Buddha in the world. It was cast about 900 years ago and is three metres tall. At one time the statue was covered in plaster, and the golden Buddha inside was forgotten. However, the five-ton statue's full glory was rediscovered whilst being moved, when it was dropped and the plaster cracked.

    What is the largest solid gold object in the world?

    This spectacular object, the largest example of its kind, was made in part by a great practitioner of his craft over 800 years ago and holds some interesting items removed by a famous ruler from one European city and given to another. To showcase the object and its "royal" contents, an important work of architecture was constructed. What am I talking about, and in which picaresque novel is it claimed that the narrator was somehow responsible for all this artistic elegance?

    Which common object comes from the Greek term for 'pure-white'?
