Description

In Near Eastern studies, it has come to be accepted by many as fact that predynastic trade routes connected Egypt and Mesopotamia. The existence of such trade routes, on the other hand, has until recently in large part been based upon the 2 regions’ shared influences reasonably than on archaeological evidence.

In From Egypt to Mesopotamia, Samuel Mark ferrets out the 2 imaginable trade routes between these two vastly different cultures. Ancient shipwreck sites and recently found out artifacts allow Mark to delineate avenues of trade between Egypt and Mesopotamia. Taking to task previous studies that describe the Egypt-Mesopotamia trade connection as being one between two homogeneous cultures, Mark specializes in the number of cultural differences, reasonably than their shared similarities, to map the infusion of these cultures.

Scholars, students, and nautical archeology and egyptology enthusiasts will appreciate this probing, fascinating trek through sea, sand, and time, unfolding the advance of trade routes within the East.
