Excavations Uncover Mining Complex With Statues, Coins, and Advanced Technology From Ancient Egypt. Check It Out!
An impressive discovery has just been revealed in Egypt! Archaeologists found an ancient 3,000-year-old gold mine in the Red Sea province of Jabal Sukari. The archaeological site, which underwent an extensive excavation and revitalization process over the past two years, has brought to light surprising evidence of the advanced mining technology used by ancient civilizations, according to the site Revista Galileu.
What Was Found in the Gold Mine?
The archaeologists identified a sophisticated gold extraction and processing complex, with remnants indicating the importance of this site in the economy of Ancient Egypt. Among the findings of the gold mine are:
✅ Gold extraction factories with milling and crushing stations;
✅ Clay furnace for metal smelting;
✅ Filtering and sedimentation basins for gold purification;
✅ Bronze coins from the Ptolemaic dynasty;
✅ Greco-Roman terracotta figurines representing deities and hybrid figures of humans and animals;
✅ Artifacts with inscriptions in hieroglyphs, demotic, and Greek, highlighting the cultural mix of the region;
✅ Personal items such as perfumes, medicines, and incenses, used by the local inhabitants.

The largest piece ever transported by road in the UK was a gigantic oven, measuring 26.5 meters long and 18 meters high. It even required road closures. It came from Thailand, crossed the sea, traveled by barge, and advanced at 6.4 km/h with a full closure of the M53 during a nighttime operation.

A country suffocated by severe drought, persistent extreme heat, and the accelerated advance of desertification is betting on an environmental megaproject and planting 10 billion trees to recover devastated forests, regenerate ecosystems, generate large-scale green jobs, and try to reverse one of the planet’s most intense climate crises.
An Advanced Mining Center
The Secretary-General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA), Mohamed Ismail Khaled, emphasized the importance of the discovery:
“Excavations revealed a 3,000-year-old gold processing complex. The facility featured milling and crushing stations, filtering and sedimentation basins, and ancient clay furnaces used to smelt gold extracted from quartz veins.”
In addition to the mining structures, researchers also found remnants of temples, public baths, workshops, and administrative buildings, suggesting that the site housed a structured community that relied on gold exploitation.
Preservation and Tourism
To ensure the preservation of the findings from the gold mine, many artifacts were transferred to a location three kilometers away from the mine, away from modern mining. In addition, some structures were replicated in full size for exhibition and tourism purposes, allowing visitors to have an immersive experience of how gold extraction worked in the past.
Egypt has been increasingly investing in the archaeological sector as a tourist attraction, and this new discovery promises to be yet another major draw for scholars and history-loving travelers!

De delírio em delírio os pesquisadores da historiografia antiga vai envolvendo os incautos internautas com estas fantasias da sociedade egípcia; era ptolomaica de 3.000 anos é duro de se engolir; a mentira é tão grande que se todas riquezas encontradas em todas as TUMBAS do Egito antigo fossem transformadas em ouro e colocadas no seu Banco Central, este país seria a nação mais rica do planeta Terra.
Pena que a História de toda a humanidade sempre vai ser uma incógnita…antes de criticarem, digo isso por não haver certeza em datas e realmente como eram os povos astecas, maias, incas etc justamente por na época não haver registros fotográficos ou vídeos dependendo apenas dos registros manuscritos ao longo do tempo
