Gold Mining
A stele by Seti I found at the Kanais temple, mentions a well in Wadi Myah for the gold miners. Mill artifacts from the Ptolemaic Kingdom and New Kingdom of Egypt are present, including ore washing facilities, besides the remains of a New Kingdom settlement. Quartz veins were mined for gold, probably dating back to the Old Kingdom Period. Enough gold remained for profitable exploitation between 1907 and 1919.[6]
