Egyptians did not actually discover diamonds; diamonds were first found in India over 2,000 years ago. However, Egyptians did have access to various precious stones, including emeralds and lapis lazuli, which they valued highly. The concept of diamonds as a sought-after gem came later, with significant deposits discovered in Brazil and South Africa in the 19th century, leading to their prominence in global markets. Thus, while diamonds were not known to ancient Egyptians, they were part of the broader fascination with gemstones throughout history.
