The history of gong
In some other parts of the world the Bronze Age began up to a thousand years later. It is considered that tin was the first metal to flow from stones around 10.000 B.C. and as the ovens got hotter copper began to separate from rocks around 6.500 B.C.
By 4.000 B.C. the ovens were big enough to allow for merging the two into an amalgamation by which the Bronze Age got its name.
The ancient gong makers discovered that mysterious and rare heaven sent meteorites, when thrown into the casting melts, added to the quality of bronze and gave it an improved resonant tone, more powerful and spacious, sustaining its vibration for much longer.
Such gongs were considered special and were known as Sacred Gongs. The early Gong alchemists didn’t know, of course, that the special ingredient provided by meteorites was nickel, since in those days it was never found naturally on the surface of the Earth, but was hidden deep within its core and out of reach of men.
