 Around the year 900 groups of Edo people began to cut down trees and make clearings in the rainforest. At first they lived in small family groups, but gradually these groups developed into a kingdom.   The kingdom was called  Igodomigodo.  It was ruled by a series of kings, known as  Ogisos,  which means ‘rulers of the sky’.

Gold often occurs in free elemental (native) form, as nuggets or grains, in rocks , in veins, and in alluvial deposits. It occurs in a solid solution series with the native element silver (as electrum ) and also naturally alloyed with copper and palladium. Less commonly, it occurs in minerals as gold compounds, often with tellurium ( gold tellurides ).                     ...

However, some historians say Argentina’s Guillermo Stabile was the first to do it, with three goals two days later against Mexico.
