Answer 1

1. The metal that the Egyptians coveted and said was like the Sun was gold.

2. Since Egypt had very little gold, it was mostly obtained through trade with neighboring regions such as Nubia, where gold deposits were abundant.

3. The Egyptians used copper deposits at first since it was the easiest to work with.

4. When copper deposits were exhausted, the Egyptians began to mine other metals and minerals like gold, silver, and iron.

5. The oldest geologic map was created in Egypt around 1150 BCE.

6. The five strategic resources that the US had for WWII were aluminum, chromium, manganese, nickel, and tin. Germany's strategic resource was oil.

7. Ferroalloys were crucial, and they were made of iron and other metals like manganese, chromium, and nickel but not carbon, which is used to make steel.

8. Ukraine had crops, especially wheat, and two crucial metals that were iron and manganese.

9. Germany was able to extract synthetic fuels from coal thanks to the chemists at IG Farben.
