Yes .... But Iron's half lfe is 10 years .. you can increase with Stainless Steel but it was not availble 5000 years back (Valerian Steel exists only in Game of Thrones :-)

Gold is forever ... Most dense 20 gm per cc ( same as Sun's core's outer layer) and most inert .. I mean there are denser elements but then they become on reactive ... So optimum ..

Our ancestors chose gold ( or iron) because they understood .. it was not a fluke ...
