Synopsis
A sweeping look at how ancient trade shaped the world and the Holy Land. This work traces the birth of navigation, the rise of maritime commerce, and the enduring connections between continents that helped forge civilizations. Rich in historical detail, it explores how early traders and explorers—from Phoenicians to Arabian caravans—built the routes that linked East and West, and how modern bets on new trade corridors echo those ancient ambitions.
From the dawn of commerce to the rise of great ports, you’ll encounter:
- The origins of navigation and the transformation of travel into sustained trade routes.
- A survey of early trading powers, especially the Phoenicians, and their influence on global exchange.
- The idea that geography and route choice can reshape economies and nations.
- Debates about ancient sources and the geography of the East, including Ophir and Arabia.
Ideal for readers of history, economic thought, and maritime lore who want a thoughtful look at how trade routes, technology, and policy intersect to shape civilizations.

Product Description
Excerpt from Commerce and the Holy Land
By a singular coincidence, and without the slightest reference to gold, Wady E1 Asha, in the text, is pointed out as the most desirable coin a fendre into Arabia.
That Ophir was a country of Arabia, is evident, from its being classed by Moses, (gen. X., along with Havilah, among districts settled by the Sons of J oktan, which certainly belonged to that region and that it lay upon the coast, is clear, from the circumstance of its having been frequented by foreign vessels.
