Round 7: Tossup 13

According to the Sunan Abi Dawud, Muslim men cannot wear silk or this material. (10[2])Melchior gave this material to an infant to portray the child’s future kingship. (10[1])It doesn’t (10[1])contain copper, but during rituals, yopo seeds were inhaled from plates of this material by the Muisca. (-5[1])Some objects (10[1])of this material in Reformed Egyptian were deciphered with the help of Angel Moroni. (10[1])Joseph Smith (-5[1])translated the (10[1])Book of (-5[1])Mormon (10[1])from that set of plates of this material. (10[1])Due to idolatry, God killed the Israelites for worshipping (10[1])an animal made from this metal. (10[1])For 10 points, (10[1])Muisca religious ceremonies may have inspired El Dorado, a city of what precious metal? ■END■
