Not samefag, two seperate authors.
How
the spice trade reached Europe was either through Persia, by way of
Silk Road, or through India which then went through ARABIA OR EGYPT!
Did
you know who controlled India... I'm going to lay down this fact for
you. Mughal Empire, ever hear of it? You know who ruled it. Muslims.
For
your ignorant mind, if you want at least dubious claims in your mind,
wikipedos wrote this: The Indian commercial connection with South East
Asia proved vital to the merchants of Arabia and Persia during the
seventh century and the eighth century.[13] The Abbasids used
Alexandria, Damietta, Aden and Siraf as entry ports to India and
China.[16] Merchants arriving from India in the port city of Aden paid
tribute in form of musk, camphor, ambergris and sandalwood to Ibn
Ziyad, the sultan of Yemen.[16]
Moluccan products shipped across
the ports of Arabia to the Near East passed through the ports of India
and Sri Lanka.[17] After reaching either the Indian or the Sri Lankan
ports were sometimes shipped to East Africa, where they would be used
for many purposes, including burial rites.[17]
Indian spice
exports find mention in the works of Ibn Khurdadhbeh (850), al-Ghafiqi
(1150), Ishak bin Imaran (907) and Al Kalkashandi (fourteenth
century).[17] Chinese traveler Hsuan Tsang mentions the town of Puri
where "merchants depart for distant countries."[18] |
