First of all, ancient Egypt has its own mineral resources, and they have the corresponding technology to extract gold from minerals and then convert it into the gold they need.

According to archaeologists, on the border between Sudan and western Ethiopia, there is a place called Ahsosa area. "This may be the location of the oldest gold mine in the world. About 6000 years ago, it was an important source of gold in the ancient Egyptian empire. The geological characteristics of Assosa area are various volcanic rocks and sedimentary rocks of more than 600 million years.

The area has been deformed after being strongly squeezed by geological forces, forming veins ranging from faults several kilometers long to tiny cracks several centimeters wide. There is a time zone in these veins, where gold deposits are mainly concentrated. The gold in this area was formed 6150 thousand years ago to 650 million years ago, including silver and other minerals, which shows that Egypt is rich in gold reserves.

Secondly, ancient Egypt had its own gold processing plant, the historical Huang Quan Processing Zone in Egypt, which was located in the center of Khalil District in Chahua, the capital of Egypt. This area was regarded as a creative world by the Egyptians at that time, inspired by the original gold jewelry art of American artists and painters. Because the environment and atmosphere here brought a lot of convenience to the life and creation of gold jewelry designers, gold jewelry in Egypt was very popular at that time.

Not only that, but through the way of war, we should know that Egypt's national strength was very strong at that time, and it often attacked other small countries. Therefore, while conquering other small countries, it also increased its own gold resources. After all, that part of Africa is the continent with the richest minerals.
