Re: Ref desk query "Trade Between Ancient Egypt and the Shang Dynasty"

Hello, Makuta Makaveli.

I'm being prevented by the current DoS attacks on the Refdesks from replying to your query there, but here's what I wanted to post:

Per this article, there was no direct trade or contact between the two, but given the existence of trading networks which included the so-called Silk Road, it would not be surprising if some goods or items were passed from trader to trader (etc.) in either direction between the two. Note the passage in that article:

"Some remnants of what was probably Chinese silk dating from 1070 BCE have been found in Ancient Egypt."

Since the Shang dynasty spanned ca. 1600–1046 BCE, this is an actual example of Shang dynasty material finding its way to Ancient Egypt. {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 2.218.14.42 (talk) 23:28, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
