Some of the goods they would trade for were spices, dyes, fruits, painted porcelain, and rich tapestries. Europe wanted these items cheaper, but a route to Asia by land was too long and expensive.

27th dynasty (525–404 BC) and was completed during the Ptolemaic period. In 1972, A. Fakhry cleared the temple and some buildings in front of the temple were found. These buildings show extensive damage from fire and the destruction probably dates to the time of the Blemmyes in the 5th century AD [3]. In more recent years, a series of excavations inside and outside the walls of the temple were undertaken. The work outside has focused on two areas; the first has been around the south east corner of the fort (mostly Roman period remains). A variety of houses and related structures were unearthed with a few Greek ostraca, a Demotic ostrakon, and pottery. The second area outside the walls was the “quay” structure directly east of the gate. Some…

These two empires also had an absolute contrast when it came to their goals and values. Within the Assyrian empire, there were massive armies that were well trained and ruthlessly disciplined.

On the contrary, the Phoenicians were more of a social empire that political, much like the mesopotamians; the Phoenicians saw religion as very important along with laws, science and writing. This goes on to show that the Phoenicians valued the human ming and spirit.

In the 15th century, Europeans did not have a clear idea of where the land of riches they knew as “the East” was or how to get there. They could not follow the known land routes to the East, such as the one traveled by Marco Polo two centuries before. The Ottoman Turks and the Mongols had conquered the lands between Europe and China. These Asian peoples would not let Europeans pass through their territory.

Eventually the gold market got to the east African coast, drawing merchants to obtain gold. Sailors would ride the monsoons, and follow the wind patterns to get from place to place. The Malay sailors would sail north to the southern coast of china. They also may have been sailing east toward India, probably being the first to come into contact with India. Malay sailors traveled to east African waters by Madagascar, they speak now the same language as the Malay sailors. Around 400 C.E Malay sailors could be found in most parts of the world, without using compasses and just looking at the land, stars, wind patterns, and color of the water. Their ships were square built and mounted so they could track against the wind.
