Gold-digging insects Ī 2011 study by Australian scientists found that termites have been found to excrete trace deposits of gold.
Herodotus did not claim to have seen the gold-digging "ant" creatures he stated that he was simply reporting what other travellers told him. In his book The Ants' Gold: The Discovery of the Greek El Dorado in the Himalayas, Peissel says that Herodotus may have confused the old Persian word for "marmot" with that for "mountain ant" because he probably did not know any Persian and thus relied on local translators when travelling in the Persian Empire. The story was widespread in the ancient world and later authors like Pliny the Elder mentioned it in his gold mining section of the Naturalis Historia. Peissel interviewed the Minaro tribal people who live in the Deosai Plateau, and they have confirmed that they have, for generations, collected the gold dust that the marmots bring to the surface when digging burrows. To find out, Goldman’s team labeled individual fire ants with paint and then watched them dig their slender tunnelsbarely wide enough for two workers.
Much like the province that Herodotus describes, the ground of the Deosai Plateau is rich in gold dust. These giant ants, according to Herodotus, would often unearth the gold dust when digging their mounds and tunnels, and the people living in this province would then collect the precious dust.įrench ethnologist Michel Peissel says that the Himalayan marmot on the Deosai Plateau in Gilgit–Baltistan province of Pakistan, may have been what Herodotus called giant "ants". This region, he reports, is a sandy desert, and the sand there contains a wealth of fine gold dust. In Histories (Book 3, passages 102 to 105) Herodotus reports that a species of fox-sized, furry " ants" lives in one of the far eastern, Indian provinces of the Persian Empire.
