No, the vikings never wore horns on their helmets.   There are bronze age depictions of people in ritual headgear with  snakes or antlers on their heads, but they were no â¦ t helmets, and  they were not Vikings.

Platinum is generally supposed to be worth more than gold per ounce. After all, it is more rare, considered more precious and harder to work with. That basic assumption changes through time, and sometimes the price of platinum and gold can invert.
Naturally, platinum is produced as a by-product in several areas of the world, but this production source is very insignificant. Only South Africa and the CIS (formally known as the USSR) have been blessed with what might be termed deposits of industrial quantities of the Rich Man's Gold..5) Relative to volume mined, platinum has many more industrial uses than either silver or gold. In fact more than 50% of the yearly production of platinum is consumed (read destroyed) by industrial uses-unlike gold! (6) Also unlike gold, there are no large inventories of above-ground platinum.
