Later, in 3,000 B.C.E. the Sumer civilisation in Mesopotamia, which in modern days is made up roughly of Iraq, Kuwait, parts of Syria and parts of Turkey, also used gold in jewellery manufacture. This was followed by the Minoan civilisation on Crete also using gold in jewellery and being considered as the first people to produce cable chain jewellery made from gold.
