Where 1064 fits
Why 1064 is special
Gold's low melting point relative to its durability is why it was worked before iron and why it survives from antiquity — it can be melted and recast indefinitely without degrading, so most ancient gold has been recycled many times.

Related numbers & connections
Gold melts around 1,064 degrees and iron at 1,538. Ancient furnaces reached the first and not the second, which is why gold was worked millennia before iron despite iron being far more abundant.

Strength 0.50, confidence "high".
Science
Gold melts at a temperature ancient furnaces could reach and does not corrode, so it has been melted and recast continuously for millennia. Much of the gold in circulation has been through many earlier objects.
