00:00:00SAHARA DESERT
00:00:22Sahara Desert
00:00:24Hakua's sculpture suddenly appeared.
00:00:36It's amazing.
00:00:37The mountain is so thin.
00:00:41The mountain is covered with a black hat made by the earthquake.
00:00:55And the world's most transparent sea and coral paradise.
00:01:10This is Egypt.
00:01:13It is a country where ancient civilization symbolized by the pyramids flourished.
00:01:18There is a long corridor in the valley of the royal family.
00:01:29And...
00:01:32There is a golden mask.
00:01:35A golden mask that emits unchanging light for thousands of years.
00:01:41And there are many jewels that the king of the past loved.
00:01:53Ancient civilization that boasts a movie that spans 3,000 years.
00:01:58All of them were created by the land of Egypt.
00:02:12It is 1,000 kilometers to go to the land that developed ancient civilization.
00:02:24It's a great rock.
00:02:26What is this?
00:02:30What he found in the vast mountain range is a golden streak pattern.
00:02:36A golden streak pattern.
00:02:45And he went to a mysterious jewel island floating in the ocean of regret.
00:02:56What he found in the rock that came from the bottom of the earth is...
00:03:02Oh, yeah. That's interesting. Look at this one.
00:03:05Here, yes. Tiny, tiny, tiny.
00:03:07Peridot crystal.
00:03:13It was a huge streak pattern.
00:03:20The land of Egypt.
00:03:22The beautiful scenery of gold and jewels.
00:03:25The mystery of the birth of the beautiful scenery of gold and jewels.
00:03:32The land of Egypt.
00:03:52This time, we will take you on a 14-hour flight from Japan.
00:03:58This is the land of Egypt, located in the north of Africa.
00:04:07The Nile River is 6,600 kilometers long and flows through the center.
00:04:13We will visit the desert that spreads to the east and west.
00:04:18Egypt
00:04:24First, let's head to Cairo, the capital of Egypt.
00:04:39We've arrived in Cairo.
00:04:42There are so many cars here.
00:04:45I thought Egypt was a desert country with pyramids.
00:04:50But this is a big city.
00:04:53A lot of people are walking in front of the cars.
00:04:58Isn't it scary?
00:05:03Cairo is a big city in the African continent where about 10 million people live.
00:05:11We arrived in the second half of October.
00:05:15The temperature is 30 degrees.
00:05:17It's still hot.
00:05:24Speaking of Egypt's unique scenery,
00:05:28you know what it is, right?
00:05:32It's a 10-kilometer-long road from the center of Cairo to the southwest.
00:05:38It's a 10-kilometer-long road to the southwest.
00:05:44As we drive along the road where the buildings line up on both sides,
00:05:54Oh, I can see the pyramids.
00:05:59Wow, it's so big.
00:06:03I can see the huge pyramids from the gap in the fog.
00:06:10Wow, it's so impressive.
00:06:15You can see the pyramids from the city like this.
00:06:25Wow, it's so big.
00:06:29It's bigger than I thought.
00:06:34I can't believe it was built 4,000 years ago.
00:06:46The three pyramids of Giza are registered as a World Heritage Site.
00:06:53It was built by Pharaoh, the king of ancient Egypt, about 4,500 years ago.
00:07:07The biggest one is the Pyramid of Khufu.
00:07:11It was built by stacking 2.3 million blocks of stone.
00:07:23What is the identity of the block of stone that shapes the pyramids?
00:07:40I asked the pyramid manager.
00:07:45I asked the pyramid manager.
00:08:03Is it a mysterious rock?
00:08:15Let me show you what I was talking about.
00:08:18Look at this. What is this?
00:08:21What is this?
00:08:24It looks like it's swirling.
00:08:28Is it a shell?
00:08:30Well done.
00:08:33It's really a spherical planet.
00:08:36Look at this. These are all planets.
00:08:41This rock is a limestone rock.
00:08:45It was formed by a long period of time,
00:08:49when the rock was deposited by seaweeds and coral.
00:08:58Most of the blocks that shape the pyramids are made of this limestone rock.
00:09:11This is the Sphinx, next to the pyramid.
00:09:18It is said that the Sphinx was carved out of limestone rock.
00:09:34Millions of years ago, the water here flooded the whole area.
00:09:40Because there was a lot of limestone here,
00:09:43they used it to build the pyramids.
00:09:46This is an example of how they carved it out.
00:09:50What?
00:09:52Did the pyramid once sink to the bottom of the sea?
00:10:02But now we can't see the sea.
00:10:07What happened to the sea turning into land?
00:10:20So we asked an expert who knows the geography of Egypt.
00:10:25He is Mr. Tamer Nassar.
00:10:34Peace be upon you.
00:10:36Peace be upon you.
00:10:38Nice to meet you.
00:10:40He is Mr. Tamer Nassar,
00:10:43who studies the relationship between water and land.
00:10:48He is familiar with Egyptian culture.
00:10:53I heard that the pyramids once sank to the bottom of the sea.
00:10:58Is that true?
00:11:00Of course.
00:11:02Egypt was covered by water, by ocean water.
00:11:08Tectonics raised the rocks up, so the land exposed.
00:11:15Tectonics created the land of Egypt and the birth of civilization.
00:11:23It created a unique landscape in the west coast of the Nile River.
00:11:32The western desert, due to its formation from limestone that's formed below the sea level,
00:11:41for example, you'll find shapes like chicken, like elephant.
00:11:48Put your imagination and you'll find magnificent shapes.
00:11:53The western desert has a huge mountain range,
00:11:58which is actually like a treasure for rare minerals such as gold and emeralds,
00:12:04and also many ornamental stones.
00:12:08According to Mr. Nassar and Mr. Nassar,
00:12:11if you look at the landscape in the western desert,
00:12:14you'll see a huge change in the location related to the birth of limestone civilization.
00:12:24On the other hand, the eastern desert's landscape
00:12:27shows how gold and emeralds, which colored the ancient civilization, were created.
00:12:38Both the western desert and the eastern desert contributed greatly
00:12:44in the birth and development of ancient Egyptian civilizations.
00:12:48They got huge resources from them.
00:12:53So they split into two groups to explore the deserts in the west and east.
00:13:00First, they head to the desert in the west of the Nainu River with Mr. Tamer Haq.
00:13:31A white landscape like snow.
00:13:35What is it like?
00:13:43From the Nainu River to the southwest,
00:13:46they continue to walk along a road in the desert.
00:13:51This is the largest desert in the world,
00:13:54one-third of the African continent,
00:13:57the Sahara Desert.
00:14:05In addition to the sand,
00:14:07there are many rocky wildernesses.
00:14:12However,
00:14:15every five hours,
00:14:17things have changed.
00:14:20All we can do is to do well in our practice.
00:14:28But every five hours,
00:14:33things have changed.
00:14:41The place changed from other side to this side.
00:14:45Everything is white.
00:14:47This is the white desert.
00:14:53Wow, there are white rocks and sand all over the place.
00:15:01It really does look like snow.
00:15:06This is the white desert.
00:15:09This is the mushroom, the sign of the white desert, the great mushroom.
00:15:39It looks like a pure white mushroom.
00:15:43It's really strange.
00:15:47It's about 10 meters high.
00:15:51It looks like a sculpture made of huge white rocks.
00:15:57This rock looks like a bird with pointed beak.
00:16:28What is this? A sphinx?
00:16:36What is this mysterious white rock?
00:16:50Let's get closer and see.
00:16:58This is the white desert rock.
00:17:02So touch it, it's not sandy.
00:17:06So the white desert is not sand, it is chalk.
00:17:10You see your hand? It became white.
00:17:13So this is chalk that we used in the school when we were young.
00:17:17It is the same rock here.
00:17:21The white rock is chalk.
00:17:26It is a stone rock that was made about 65 million years ago.
00:17:33It is deep in the ground, so the shape is very fine.
00:17:42But why did it become this strange shape?
00:17:51According to Tameru Hakushi,
00:17:54there used to be a stone coastline about 200 meters above the current surface.
00:18:07When a crack is formed on the surface,
00:18:10rainwater enters and the rock is scraped off.
00:18:15In this way, a mountain-like white rock is exposed.
00:18:30But this rock looks more like a mushroom than a mountain, doesn't it?
00:18:37Why did it become this shape?
00:19:08The key was the sand that passed through the wind.
00:19:18The bottom was scraped off by a large rock because large grains of sand passed through.
00:19:28However, the top was only light and small sand.
00:19:34As a result, there was a difference in how it was scraped off,
00:19:38and a mysterious rock like a mushroom was formed.
00:19:47This is a white rock sculpture made by scraping water and sand.
00:19:53Now, how did the stone coastline appear on the surface?
00:20:2360 million years ago, tectonics raised the rocks up, so the land exposed.
00:20:36This is the Earth 250 million years ago.
00:20:40At that time, there was a huge continent called Pangaea on the Earth.
00:20:53After that, the continent was divided by geological fluctuations.
00:21:01A large sea called the Tethys was born, and Egypt went to the bottom of the sea.
00:21:09There, the stone coastline was created.
00:21:14After that, geological fluctuations continued, and the African continent approached the Eurasian continent.
00:21:23At that time, something like this happened at the bottom of the sea.
00:21:33The white part is a layer of the stone coastline deposited in the sea.
00:21:44As Africa approached the Eurasian continent,
00:21:51the two continents attacked each other.
00:21:54As a result, the Egyptian continent became a land.
00:22:02Thus, 40 million years ago, the land created by the stone coastline appeared on the surface.
00:22:14This is a diagram of the geology of Egypt.
00:22:19The white part is the stone coastline.
00:22:22This is the part that was once submerged in the sea.
00:22:27On the other hand, the yellow part is the sandstone, which was formed by the sand at the edge of the wave.
00:22:34Both sandstones are soft and easy to process.
00:22:48Using these abundant sandstones,
00:22:51many huge stones, including pyramids, were built in Egypt.
00:23:05This is the valley of the royal family in Luxor, the capital of the Egyptian Middle East.
00:23:17The graves of ancient kings, including St. Carmen, are gathered in the stone coastline.
00:23:26This is the inside of the royal tomb dug in the basement.
00:23:31The 4-meter-high passage continues for more than 100 meters.
00:23:38The long cave was dug thanks to the soft stone coastline.
00:23:57The stone civilization that flourished in ancient Egypt
00:24:02was a product of the geological fluctuations that lifted the stone coastline to the surface.
00:24:10However, the geological fluctuations that attacked Egypt will not stop here.
00:24:18Let's go to the place where the traces are engraved.
00:24:40It's about 150 kilometers north of the White Desert.
00:24:57It's been two hours since I started running.
00:25:00I can see the black mountains around me.
00:25:04What is this?
00:25:25Wow, there are a lot of huge black mountains.
00:25:29Is it the Black Desert after the White Desert?
00:25:37The Black Desert, where countless black mountains exist.
00:25:43It seems to be spreading over 30 kilometers north-south.
00:25:48There are flat mountains on the top of the mountain.
00:25:54It's like wearing a hat.
00:25:57It's a strange shape.
00:26:04It's so big that it can reach a diameter of 300 meters.
00:26:09And next to the top of the mountain, there is something like a pillar.
00:26:22It's a strange mountain that looks like it has a lot of black corn.
00:26:27When I go to the foot of the mountain,
00:26:37I can see the Black Desert.
00:26:43The Black Desert is the largest desert in the world.
00:26:48It is the largest desert in the world.
00:26:52The Black Desert is the largest desert in the world.
00:26:58When we talk about deserts,
00:27:01we think of sand and yellow.
00:27:05But this black desert is interesting.
00:27:12The black stones are scattered.
00:27:15What is this?
00:27:22It's a stone.
00:27:31Which kind of this stone? Which one?
00:27:34It's all from the basalt up there.
00:27:36Yes.
00:27:37The basalt is formed and then broken down,
00:27:41covering the whole area.
00:27:43Yes.
00:27:44It was very hot material from magma,
00:27:47cooled down, and then cracked while it's cooling.
00:27:50Suddenly.
00:28:20It should be a volcano.
00:28:23Yes.
00:28:24But due to the lower pressure,
00:28:26it's just to flow from the underground
00:28:30and then make what we call a cell.
00:28:32Yes.
00:28:37According to the archaeologist,
00:28:39this eruption was caused by a near-infrared radiation
00:28:43that occurred in a faraway place.
00:28:47Approximately 30 million years ago,
00:28:51another near-infrared radiation occurred in Egypt.
00:28:58The Arabian Peninsula was split from the African continent
00:29:02and the Black Sea was formed.
00:29:05The Black Sea was formed by a near-infrared radiation
00:29:09that occurred in a faraway place.
00:29:13The power of this near-infrared radiation
00:29:16also had an impact on this land,
00:29:19which was about 500 kilometers away.
00:29:30Originally, the land here was made of sandstone.
00:29:35The near-infrared radiation that created the Black Sea
00:29:39spread to the side of the earth.
00:29:42When the sandstone cracks due to the near-infrared radiation
00:29:45that created the Black Sea,
00:29:51magma comes out from the underground.
00:29:54However, because it didn't have enough power to erupt,
00:29:58it spread to the side of the earth.
00:30:03When the magma cools down, it becomes flat,
00:30:07and then it becomes rough.
00:30:16After that, it gradually scraped off
00:30:19the thin and weak parts of the sandstone.
00:30:23As a result, the Black Sea and the mountains
00:30:26where the sandstone formed were left behind.
00:30:36The Great Earthquake,
00:30:39which occurred in a faraway place.
00:30:42Later on, it became the cornerstone
00:30:45of the ancient civilization that was colored by gold and jewels.
00:31:12MUSIC
00:31:35This is one of the springs.
00:31:38It's cold. Not hot.
00:31:40Oh, yes, it's cold. It's not like Quill.
00:32:10MUSIC
00:32:40MUSIC
00:33:00MUSIC
00:33:10MUSIC
00:33:40MUSIC
00:34:10MUSIC
00:34:18Nice to meet you.
00:34:27I will show you the most important and marvelous piece
00:34:32in the Egyptian museum.
00:34:34The beautiful one. The most beautiful one here.
00:34:38The golden mask.
00:34:41There is a golden mask.
00:34:45It's shining brightly.
00:34:50The golden mask of Stankamen.
00:34:54It's a magnificent figure.
00:35:00The width is about 40 cm,
00:35:03and the height is 54 cm.
00:35:07It's made of high purity gold,
00:35:10and weighs about 11 kg.
00:35:15It's amazing that all of this is made of gold.
00:35:19It's not only the gold.
00:35:21We have a lot of precious stones, as you see here.
00:35:24You can see these precious stones.
00:35:26These are wonderful and marvelous stones.
00:35:28You can see it.
00:35:30Very important things.
00:35:32Because it has a religious symbol for the king.
00:35:40It's true.
00:35:42The precious stones are full of colors.
00:35:47The light blue one is turquoise,
00:35:50and the red one is carnelian.
00:35:53In ancient Egypt,
00:35:55these stones were thought to symbolize vitality.
00:36:03The gold is not rust or corrupted like the other material.
00:36:10So this will be for eternal life,
00:36:14for everlasting life for the king.
00:36:17And the precious stones,
00:36:19they give it to protect,
00:36:21to make protection for the king himself.
00:36:25For the king of ancient Egypt,
00:36:28who worshipped the world after his death,
00:36:31the gold and precious stones,
00:36:34which symbolized the eternal life,
00:36:37were essential.
00:36:48Furthermore, gold and precious stones
00:36:51had an important meaning for the foreign exchange with neighboring countries.
00:37:06In the country near Syria,
00:37:09there is a foreign letter from Mitanni to Egypt.
00:37:22In the letter, there is a sentence,
00:37:25asking Egypt for gold.
00:37:30Dear brother, please send more gold than my father.
00:37:38In the brother's country,
00:37:40gold is like garbage.
00:37:52But why did Egypt have a lot of gold and precious stones?
00:38:09To solve the mystery,
00:38:11we went on a journey with Dr. Yasser Haq,
00:38:14who studies the quality and minerals of Egypt.
00:38:19You will find this secret in the eastern deserts.
00:38:22We will go through it,
00:38:24and you will see a lot of resources, including gold.
00:38:28So here is the route that we will take,
00:38:32crossing the mountain range here,
00:38:35going from the River Nile to the Red Sea.
00:38:41We left Luxor, in the middle of Egypt,
00:38:45and crossed the eastern desert.
00:38:49At the end of the desert,
00:38:51we reached an island floating in the Red Sea,
00:38:54which is about 500 kilometers long.
00:38:57If you follow this road,
00:38:59you will see the reason why Egypt has a lot of gold and precious stones.
00:39:11This is the only road that goes through the desert.
00:39:16This road is said to have been a highway
00:39:19connecting the capital and the Red Sea since ancient times.
00:39:23The road is a long one.
00:39:38One hour after departure,
00:39:40the scenery around us began to change.
00:39:49Oh, I can see the mountains.
00:39:52We were in the desert until a while ago,
00:39:55but now we are in the mountains.
00:39:57I can see a pretty high mountain range.
00:40:05Oh, the dry rocky mountains are approaching from both sides.
00:40:13This valley is said to have been visited by ancient people.
00:40:19There are ruins of precious stones
00:40:22used for gold and royal coffins.
00:40:32Now we are in the middle of the road.
00:40:35Yeah, we were over there.
00:40:38Now I'll show you a proof
00:40:41that ancient Egyptians stayed at this site.
00:40:45Let's go and see.
00:40:48The evidence that ancient people were here.
00:40:52I wonder what it was like.
00:40:56The evidence that ancient people were here.
00:41:00I wonder what it was like.
00:41:09Look at this fascinating piece right here
00:41:12with all these ancient inscriptions on this stone.
00:41:18There are inscriptions on the stone.
00:41:24Yeah, this is ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic language.
00:41:31The inscriptions on the stone
00:41:33are ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs.
00:41:38The inscriptions on this precious stone
00:41:41are engraved on the stone.
00:41:47Here, the manager of the ruins
00:41:50showed us an interesting hieroglyph.
00:42:01What do you think this is?
00:42:04Do you see this?
00:42:06Do you remember this?
00:42:08This is gold.
00:42:10This symbolizes gold.
00:42:12Is this gold?
00:42:18These letters look like eyeballs.
00:42:22They are called nebu, which means gold.
00:42:27There are traces of gold mining
00:42:30left in this area.
00:42:41It's about five kilometers away.
00:42:46Let's walk through the rocks.
00:42:50As we walk through the rocks...
00:42:59What is this?
00:43:01There are a lot of stones piled up.
00:43:04There are a lot of stones piled up.
00:43:08I wonder what this is.
00:43:13Yeah, you find that this is the remains
00:43:16of the ancient Roman city for mining gold.
00:43:20Workers were here using the mills.
00:43:47There are a lot of houses lined up in the valley.
00:44:01There are 200 of them.
00:44:17It's a landscape that makes you feel
00:44:20a sense of attachment to gold
00:44:23that doesn't change in any era.
00:44:36According to the white paper,
00:44:39the gold was found in the mountains
00:44:42surrounding the city.
00:44:45To know the whole picture,
00:44:48we climb further up.
00:45:00Have a look at the whole thing.
00:45:03It's an amazing view.
00:45:07There's a high mountain range in the back.
00:45:11It's part of what's known as Red Sea Mountain Range.
00:45:14It's a huge mountain range
00:45:16extended for several hundred kilometers.
00:45:18Not just here in the eastern desert,
00:45:20but extends south to Sudan, down to Eritrea.
00:45:29It's a mountain range that extends
00:45:32as far as the eye can see.
00:45:36It's a huge mountain range
00:45:39that extends for more than 1,500 kilometers.
00:45:44There are more than 100 gold mines
00:45:47in this mountain range.
00:45:54How did ancient people find gold
00:45:57from such a vast mountain range?
00:46:06We visited the city of Marsalam,
00:46:09on the coast of the Red Sea,
00:46:12in search of the answer.
00:46:27With his guide, Fekri,
00:46:30we explored the gold and jewels
00:46:33that are hidden in this mountain range.
00:46:37It's a mysterious place.
00:46:55What is this place?
00:47:03It's a pretty vast area.
00:47:06What did ancient people look for in gold?
00:47:09Like a vein, cutting within the rocks.
00:47:12So they tried to locate these veins.
00:47:17The veins that tell us where the gold is.
00:47:22What kind of sight is this?
00:47:26There are more than just veins
00:47:29that tell us where the gold is.
00:47:32There are more than just veins
00:47:35that tell us where the gold is.
00:47:45We continue our journey
00:47:48through the wilderness
00:47:51in search of the answer.
00:48:04It's been 40 minutes since we left the city.
00:48:07There's more sand on the ground.
00:48:21The car is stuck in the sand.
00:48:46An hour and a half has passed.
00:48:51Mr. Yaser has stopped the car.
00:49:04Look at this explosion.
00:49:07It's a huge rock.
00:49:10What is this?
00:49:13There's a pattern on it.
00:49:22Wow.
00:49:25This is strange.
00:49:28There are many black lines
00:49:31on the brown rock wall.
00:49:38If you look closely,
00:49:41there are red lines, too.
00:49:52There are black lines on the brown rock wall.
00:50:03Why was a wall with a huge black line
00:50:07shaped like this?
00:50:13The Black Line
00:50:19This is the granite.
00:50:22The main rock that gets fractured.
00:50:25And this is the basaltic magma
00:50:28which invaded the fracture.
00:50:31It cooled, and it became basaltic like.
00:50:34It cooled, and it became basaltic like.
00:50:37Wow. This is the boundary.
00:50:40If you touch it,
00:50:43the white rocks are rough,
00:50:47but the black rocks are smoother.
00:50:50They are different rocks.
00:50:56The large part of the rock wall
00:50:59is the granite.
00:51:02The magma is underground,
00:51:05and it slowly cools down.
00:51:12The fracture of the granite
00:51:15and the magma from the underground
00:51:18enter the fracture and cool down.
00:51:21This is the Black Line.
00:51:24This is how a strange line is formed.
00:51:27This is how a strange line is formed.
00:51:32The red line is the granite
00:51:35formed by the magma entering
00:51:38the fracture of another era.
00:51:45The Black Line
00:51:52As they continue to search,
00:51:55they finally find the golden line.
00:51:58They finally find the golden line.
00:52:03This is the golden line.
00:52:06This is the golden line.
00:52:09Oh, yeah. This is the one.
00:52:12This is why it's been on the top.
00:52:15As you see,
00:52:18it's whiter than the rocks we've seen so far.
00:52:23The white line that goes through
00:52:26the red granite.
00:52:29Is this the golden line?
00:52:32Here it is.
00:52:41As they get closer to the bottom of the white line,
00:52:44they see a lot of white rocks.
00:52:47they see a lot of white rocks.
00:52:51Wow.
00:52:54It's really white.
00:52:57This is what it looks like.
00:53:01It's a little transparent.
00:53:06So, this is quartz.
00:53:09Quartz?
00:53:12Yeah, the whole thing is like a big quartz system.
00:53:15And sometimes, if you are so lucky,
00:53:18you find gold in these quartz pieces.
00:53:21You find gold in these quartz pieces.
00:53:24There might be gold in here.
00:53:27The white layer is a mineral called sequier,
00:53:30which is also the raw material of glass.
00:53:33The white layer is a mineral called sequier,
00:53:36which is also the raw material of glass.
00:53:39And they say that there is gold in here.
00:53:46Is there any gold in here?
00:53:49Is there any gold in here?
00:53:57There is something goldish here.
00:54:00Is this gold?
00:54:03Yeah, there are shiny spots here.
00:54:06Yeah, there are shiny spots here.
00:54:11They use a magnifying glass to check.
00:54:14They use a magnifying glass to check.
00:54:19No, it's kind of gold.
00:54:22No, it's kind of gold.
00:54:26Who's gold?
00:54:29Some people may think this is gold, but this is not.
00:54:32Some people may think this is gold, but this is not.
00:54:36Too bad.
00:54:38These yellow pieces are called big iron ore.
00:54:41These yellow pieces are called big iron ore.
00:54:44Because they are made of iron and steel,
00:54:47they are often mistaken for gold.
00:54:50they are often mistaken for gold.
00:54:55It's not easy to find gold.
00:54:58It's not easy to find gold.
00:55:08But why does gold get into the sequier?
00:55:11But why does gold get into the sequier?
00:55:19According to Yaser Hakshi,
00:55:22the sequier is a little different from other sequiers.
00:55:25the sequier is a little different from other sequiers.
00:55:32About 600 million years ago,
00:55:35there was a seismic change in this area,
00:55:38which caused a crack in the rock.
00:55:41which caused a crack in the rock.
00:55:44The water released from the magma
00:55:47and the underground water heated by the magma
00:55:50and the underground water heated by the magma
00:55:59And in this water,
00:56:02the main ingredient of magma,
00:56:05the cesium,
00:56:08and the fine gold in magma and underground
00:56:11and the fine gold in magma and underground
00:56:14and the fine gold in magma and underground
00:56:21When cesium enters the underground water,
00:56:24it solidifies and turns into a sequier.
00:56:27The gold is trapped in the sequier.
00:56:30The gold is trapped in the sequier.
00:56:33The gold is trapped in the sequier.
00:56:36The gold is trapped in the sequier.
00:56:44But at this stage,
00:56:47the sequier is deep underground
00:56:50and cannot be mined by human hands.
00:56:57The reason it appeared in the eye
00:57:00is because of a seismic change.
00:57:03is because of a seismic change.
00:57:13What happened?
00:57:17Let's go to a place where we can see the process of seismic change.
00:57:20Let's go to a place where we can see the process of seismic change.
00:57:23Let's go to a place where we can see the process of seismic change.
00:57:35What a beautiful beach!
00:57:38It's emerald green!
00:57:41There's a white sandy beach.
00:57:44It's like a southern island.
00:57:47Is there a place like this in Egypt?
00:57:59Here lies a spot separating Egypt from the Arabian Peninsula called the Mediterranean Sea.
00:58:03Here lies a spot separating Egypt from the Arabian Peninsula called the Mediterranean Sea.
00:58:05It is said to be the most transparent ocean in the world.
00:58:08It is said to be the most transparent ocean in the world.
00:58:11But what is the relationship between this sea and the meteorite, including the gold that appeared on the ground?
00:58:22Now it's your turn, Miru.
00:58:29Just go.
00:58:30Have fun.
00:58:31I'm waiting for you here.
00:58:32Let's go in.
00:58:34Let's go in.
00:58:37Hakushi Yaseru says there's something you can tell when you're in the sea.
00:58:50We've come about 20 meters, but it's still shallow.
00:58:56There's no water up to my knees.
00:59:03Looking at it from the sky, the water depth is about 100 meters from the beach,
00:59:10so the sea is light blue.
00:59:19However, from there on, the water depth deepens to deep blue.
00:59:33When you look at the boundary, the colors are beautifully separated.
00:59:40Why has the depth suddenly changed?
00:59:56So we have the high mountains.
00:59:58Then you have this beach area with the coral reefs, living coral reefs.
01:00:03Then suddenly, there is no coral reefs.
01:00:05There is deep water.
01:00:06So it's like steps going from the mountains to the beach, deep into the water.
01:00:14A giant mountain range and the shallow sea that continues from the beach.
01:00:19And the deep sea beyond that is structured like a staircase.
01:00:27And this giant staircase is said to be a trace of the first revolution that lifted gold to the ground.
01:00:50About 40 million years ago, there was no sea of gold.
01:00:56Egypt and the Arabian Peninsula were one after another.
01:01:06And the gold vein was deep in the ground.
01:01:12However, about 30 million years ago,
01:01:19the gold vein was deep in the ground.
01:01:23And the gold vein was deep in the ground.
01:01:31The mantle rises from deep in the earth, and the earth rises.
01:01:40And the middle part of the mantle collapses.
01:01:46This is where the seawater came in and formed the sea of gold.
01:01:54In this way, a staircase-like terrain was created along the coast of the sea of gold,
01:02:00and a mountain range that continues from the shallow sea was born.
01:02:06And the gold vein, which contains gold, was exposed in this near-change.
01:02:12And the gold vein, which contains gold, was exposed in this near-change.
01:02:27So, these mountains formed because of the formation of the sea.
01:02:32And these mountains contain the huge mineral resources.
01:02:37That was the main reason for the prosperity of ancient Egypt.
01:02:44So, as Herodotus said before, Egypt was the gift of the Nile.
01:02:49Now, actually, from a geological perspective,
01:02:52you can say also that Egypt is the gift of the formation of the sea.
01:02:58Egypt is the gift of the formation of the sea.
01:03:04The mountain range was created with the birth of the sea of gold.
01:03:09And the rich gold can be extracted from it.
01:03:14The ancient Egyptian civilization made use of the gold vein and trade,
01:03:20and made a movie of 3,000 years.
01:03:37The eastern desert with gold vein.
01:03:41Here, many other precious jewels have been mined.
01:03:47Here, many other precious jewels have been mined.
01:03:50Although it is a desert, it is literally a treasure trove.
01:04:01The guide, Mr. Fekri, guided us to one of the treasure troves.
01:04:07The guide, Mr. Fekri, guided us to one of the treasure troves.
01:04:20Come, I'll show you something beautiful inside the temple.
01:04:24Come, I'll show you something beautiful inside the temple.
01:04:27Come, I'll show you something beautiful inside the temple.
01:04:30Come, I'll show you something beautiful inside the temple.
01:04:38This is the temple.
01:04:40This is the temple.
01:04:44The guide showed us a temple dug on the mountain slope.
01:04:54It was built about 2,000 years ago.
01:05:01Why was a temple built in the middle of a desolate mountain?
01:05:07Why was a temple built in the middle of a desolate mountain?
01:05:25The jewels mined here are emeralds shining in green.
01:05:32These diamonds, rubies, and sapphires are one of the world's four major jewels.
01:05:45This temple is believed to have been built for the workers working at the emerald mine.
01:05:55And there is a rumor...
01:05:59...that the temple was built by Cleopatra VI, the mother of Cleopatra VII.
01:06:10Cleopatra, known as the most beautiful woman in the world,
01:06:14was the last queen of ancient Egypt, who came to power about 2,000 years ago.
01:06:20There is even a legend that Cleopatra used her emerald mine to make eye shadows.
01:06:38This emerald is believed to be from the era of Cleopatra.
01:06:51Egypt is the first place in the world where emeralds were mined.
01:06:58It is believed to have been a valuable export and fascinated the people of the Mediterranean.
01:07:21How were the world's oldest emeralds mined?
01:07:42What is a shining stone?
01:07:51As he walks along the valley in search of a shining stone...
01:07:57Wow, shiny, shiny.
01:08:02Hey, look at that. The whole floor here is like shining.
01:08:07It's like bathing the way here with this shiny mineral.
01:08:15Wow, there is a shining stone all around.
01:08:20What is this mysterious stone?
01:08:31Professor, what is this stone? Why is it so shiny?
01:08:37This is a mineral. This is mica.
01:08:41Mica has this shiny, nice luster.
01:08:46Because it shines so brightly, it is also called a shining mineral.
01:08:57Why does this stone become the landmark for finding emeralds?
01:09:06And if this mica has high magnesium and chromium,
01:09:12it will give the green color to the emeralds.
01:09:22Approximately 600 million years ago,
01:09:26the emeralds, including the Ummo, were deep underground.
01:09:32When a crack is formed due to a magnetic field,
01:09:37magma enters.
01:09:42Then, magma and chromium, which are included in the Ummo,
01:09:48react chemically and emeralds are born.
01:09:54But at this time, the emeralds remained deep underground.
01:10:03Approximately 30 million years ago, the mantle rose.
01:10:08As the earth split and the sea and mountains formed,
01:10:13the emeralds also appeared on the surface.
01:10:18He decided to look for emerald fragments.
01:10:29What is this?
01:10:31Oh, no.
01:10:34What is this?
01:10:36Oh, no.
01:10:38What is this?
01:10:40Oh, no.
01:10:42What is this?
01:10:44Oh, no.
01:10:46Oh, no.
01:10:48Serpentine.
01:10:50Oh, no, this is another variety.
01:10:52This is serpentine.
01:10:54You can see it has a color.
01:10:58It's not really green.
01:11:00It's yellowish green.
01:11:05The emeralds must have been taken.
01:11:11It took him an hour to find them.
01:11:17However...
01:11:19Doctor, emeralds.
01:11:24Deep green stones.
01:11:27Are these emeralds?
01:11:30What are these?
01:11:56Wow, there are emeralds.
01:12:00It's real.
01:12:02We found a very good piece.
01:12:04If you search, really you can find.
01:12:07You always can find this like that.
01:12:11It's nice, very nice crystal.
01:12:15The emerald ore, which Cleopatra also loved.
01:12:21The mining began here in 2000.
01:12:25It was shining as ever.
01:12:37And what Dr. Yassel Haque showed us was...
01:12:47Wow, what a view.
01:12:51So, now you see the Red Sea Mountains.
01:12:55Without these mountains,
01:12:58ancient Egypt would not find the resources like gold and jewels like emeralds.
01:13:06So, thank God, there was the Red Sea Mountains.
01:13:12The Red Sea Mountains with gold and jewels.
01:13:22In the splendor of civilization,
01:13:25the vastness of the earth, which changed the shape of the earth, was hidden.
01:13:33The journey to experience the power of the earth, which supported ancient civilization.
01:13:47Finally, we will go to the time of Cleopatra.
01:13:51The time of Cleopatra.
01:13:53The time of Cleopatra.
01:13:56The time of Cleopatra.
01:13:59Finally, we will visit the island of jewels, which was found in the time of Cleopatra.
01:14:11Hamata Port, located in the south of Egypt, on the coast of the Red Sea.
01:14:17It is said that the island of jewels floats in the ocean of this city.
01:14:24What kind of place is this?
01:14:27We asked the captain of the ship heading to the island.
01:14:33This is the Berged Island, 80 km from Hamata, south of the Red Sea.
01:14:38But I listen to that.
01:14:40I listen to all Egyptians who go to buy boats.
01:14:45But it's difficult.
01:14:48In the end of the ancient Egyptian kingdom,
01:14:52many people crossed the sea in search of the jewels.
01:15:02The jewels are called Peridot.
01:15:06Peridot is a jewel of the sun, which emits a bright light.
01:15:13Peridot is a jewel of the sun, which emits a bright light.
01:15:25It is thought that this jewel was exported to various places as a valuable trade item.
01:15:34This is the largest Peridot in the world, 310 carats.
01:15:40This is the largest Peridot in the world, 310 carats.
01:15:42This is the largest Peridot in the world, 310 carats.
01:15:45It was mined from the Berged Island.
01:15:50Peridot
01:15:58The island is a natural sanctuary, so you can't normally visit it.
01:16:06This time, we landed with special permission.
01:16:10We are looking for traces of Peridot, which supported ancient Egypt.
01:16:20It takes 8 hours to get to Zavargad Island.
01:16:27It is known that many ships have been sailing here for more than 4,000 years.
01:16:42This is a mural depicting the ruins in Luxor.
01:16:50People rowing a boat.
01:16:54In ancient times, they rowed a boat like this to the sea.
01:17:10It takes 8 hours to get to Zavargad Island.
01:17:20I can see Zavargad Island.
01:17:23I can see the rocky mountains in the sea.
01:17:32This is Zavargad, the island of jewels.
01:17:37In fact, there are traces of Peridot left on this island, which is not common in the world.
01:17:59We are going to that island.
01:18:08Wow.
01:18:12Light blue and deep blue.
01:18:15The island is surrounded by two types of blue.
01:18:19It is a beautiful island worthy of being called a jewel island.
01:18:28The coral reef is spread over the boundary of the two blues.
01:18:35Let's take a look inside.
01:18:46Wow.
01:18:47It is filled with colorful coral.
01:18:51The deep sea has a high level of seawater transparency.
01:18:56This is why the coral reef is so beautiful.
01:19:21Peridot
01:19:28This is an amazing island.
01:19:32How fascinating it is.
01:19:34Peridot can be caught here.
01:19:39The black mountains on the island.
01:19:43Peridot seems to be related to the sound of this mountain.
01:19:51Peridot
01:19:54Here are the white spots.
01:19:56Oh.
01:19:57If we go to see, what are they?
01:19:59There are white spots.
01:20:01What are they?
01:20:08Certainly, there are white spots on the mountain slopes.
01:20:16What are they?
01:20:21Peridot
01:20:37Look at this.
01:20:40Can you see this one?
01:20:44It's like a round structure.
01:20:47This cannot be made by nature.
01:20:51Peridot
01:20:54I think this is a mechanism for extracting Peridot.
01:20:58Peridot from the Peridotite.
01:21:00So, if they have a nice piece here,
01:21:02they just break it down,
01:21:04the smaller matrix,
01:21:07to extract the larger crystal.
01:21:12Is this the place where Peridot was taken out?
01:21:18Let's take a closer look.
01:21:21Peridot
01:21:25Oh, you know what is this?
01:21:27This is flint.
01:21:28Very, very hard stone.
01:21:31Maybe they use this material as hammers to break down the Peridotite.
01:21:37Peridot
01:21:41Is this the place where all the white spots are extracted?
01:21:47Peridot
01:21:57They continue to climb the mountain in search of Peridot.
01:22:02Peridot
01:22:05Then...
01:22:09Here is a color, yellow one.
01:22:12Oh, I see.
01:22:14I can see the yellow stone.
01:22:16Yellow.
01:22:17What is this?
01:22:19Peridot
01:22:23In front of me,
01:22:26I see a lump of yellow stone.
01:22:30What is this?
01:22:36Yeah, this is yellow stone.
01:22:38This could be the olivine-rich variety of Peridotite.
01:22:44Olivine is the mother mineral of Peridot.
01:22:51The yellow stone is Peridotite.
01:22:56The crystals contained in this stone are the shining Peridotite.
01:23:10It's dominant in the mantle, deep beneath inside the earth.
01:23:15And luckily, during the Red Sea Formation,
01:23:19this fragment of the mantle came up, uplifted,
01:23:23and we are walking on it right now.
01:23:28The mantle is a layer of rock, deep beneath the earth, made of high-temperature rock.
01:23:36The rock, which contains Peridotite, forms the mantle.
01:23:42Peridotite
01:23:49Before the Red Sea Formation, the mantle was deep beneath the earth.
01:23:58In the process of the Red Sea Formation, the mantle became thin.
01:24:06This is how the mantle came to the seabed.
01:24:13Then, a part of the mantle drifted away, and the island of Zavargad was created.
01:24:25In other words, this island is unique to the world.
01:24:36See how unique this island is?
01:24:39We are walking on the mantle, deep beneath the earth.
01:24:53We are touching the mantle.
01:24:56What a precious experience.
01:25:02The mantle, deep beneath the earth.
01:25:06The gemstone, which has fascinated people since ancient times.
01:25:16Is Peridotite, which emits a mysterious light, still there?
01:25:36Let me check with my hand lens.
01:25:49Oh yeah, that's interesting. Look at this one.
01:25:52Here, yeah. Tiny, tiny, tiny.
01:25:55Peridot crystal.
01:25:57Peridot?
01:25:58Yeah. Look, can you see this? This green one here. Two green crystals.
01:26:02Smaller ones, still surviving.
01:26:06It's true.
01:26:10You can see the green crystal in the center.
01:26:17This is Peridot's gemstone.
01:26:21This is the gemstone that the ancient people pursued with determination.
01:26:27This is really authentic piece of the mantle.
01:26:36So they may be happy like me when they found the Peridot for the first time.
01:26:57It shines brightly.
01:27:07So they built their tombs and the pyramids from limestones in the north.
01:27:14While in this house, they built their temples from sandstone.
01:27:20People start to search for natural resources to build their civilization.
01:27:28So the great ancient civilization is actually based on the understanding of ancient Egyptians on the geology of their area.
01:27:38The rocks surrounding them.
01:27:40Without the great geological context of Egypt, ancient Egyptians will be able to find these resources and to build their great civilization.
01:27:52The great earth's wave that pushed the seabed up to the ground, split the earth, and brought the resources to the surface.
01:28:05When the wisdom of man was added to it, the ancient Egyptian civilization was born.
01:28:13When the wisdom of man was added to it, the ancient Egyptian civilization was born.
01:28:44The Great Ancient Egyptian Civilization
01:28:57The Great Ancient Egyptian Civilization
01:28:59There it is. It's beautiful and cute.
01:29:02What is this?
01:29:04It's a snack called Hichigiri.
01:29:07Hichigiri. It's a great name.
01:29:09Yes.
01:29:11Jack's Zips
01:29:28The Golden and the Silver Waterfall
01:29:31lt is the Edo River that is filled with gold and silver.
01:29:35Edo?
01:29:36Edo!
