Question

Did Egypt trade for gold

Answer 1

Yes, Egypt did trade for gold. Gold was highly valued in ancient Egypt, and the pharaohs and nobles adorned themselves with gold jewelry and ornaments. Egypt obtained gold through trade with neighboring regions such as Nubia (modern-day Sudan), which was a major source of gold. Nubia had ample gold deposits, and Egypt had strong trade relations with this region to acquire gold. Additionally, Egypt also traded for gold with other civilizations, such as the Hittites and the Mesopotamians.
