Pharaonic Egypt mines and quarries

Original language description

Ancient Egyptian quarrying and mining sites represent some of the most threatened archaeological sites not only in Egypt but also worldwide. These ancient Egyptian quarries and mines were the main sources for the building stones that used to construct most temples, pyramids, and mastaba tombs and for metals and gemstones. The gemstones of ancient Egypt used for jewellery, amulets, seals, and other small decorative items. They also mined for metals, e.g. copper and gold.
