Round 7: Tossup 13

According to the Sunan Abi Dawud, Muslim men cannot wear silk or this material. Melchior gave this material to an infant to portray the child’s future kingship. It doesn’t contain copper, but during rituals, yopo seeds were inhaled from plates of this material by the Muisca. (10[1])Some objects of this material in Reformed Egyptian were deciphered with the help of (10[1])Angel Moroni. (10[2])Joseph Smith (10[1])translated (10[1])the Book of Mormon from that set of plates of this material. Due to idolatry, God killed the Israelites for worshipping an animal made from this metal. For 10 points, Muisca religious ceremonies may have inspired El Dorado, a city of what precious metal? ■END■
