They seemed to have used many tonnes of gold for the pharoahs and other royalty, how was gold mined in their days?

is an interesting link to ancient mining. Note that gold was more abundant than now, but it was still very arduous work.

Gold is about 8 times heavier than gravel so it would not be too hard once the 'ore' had been extracted.
