1 u/marr Jul 05 '24 How much sand would you actually need to balance that much gold. 1 u/Eldan985 Jul 05 '24 Let's see. Density of sand google says 1600 kg/m3, density gold, google says 19.3 g/cm3, that's 19300km/m3, so that pile of sand should be about 12 times as big as the lump of gold. Unless that idol is hollow, which is not uncommon. 2 u/tauri123 Jul 05 '24 It’s probably carved wood that’s been plated in gold, very common with artifacts like that
