Abstract | ||
Over the years, Professor Abdel Moneim A.H. Sayed and I have shared our interests in the mysterious ancient cultures and civilizations on both sides of the Red Sea: in Punt, in the Horn of Africa (broadly speaking), whence the resourceful ancient Egyptians obtained all across precious goods by trade with its people, notably aromatics, rare timbers and gold through the centuries; and in Ancient South Arabia, with its astonishing civilizations based on the Kingdoms of Saba, Ma’in, Qataban and Hadramaut and lesser entities, with their pioneering irrigation-agriculture and fabled trade, again in the aromatics so eagerly sought by other peoples in the Near East and around the East Mediterranean across many centuries. | ||
