The Land of Punt was
commercially important for the goods it provided to Egypt and, more
generally, to the outside world. The bulk of these exports originated in
the interior of what later became known as Ethiopia and the Horn of
Africa. Such articles were brought to the coast by ancient trade routes
linking the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden Coast with the economically more
productive hinterland. |
