| 总结: | Archaeological and linguistic material published to date indicates peaceful rather than warlike relations between Egypt and Canaan in EB I. Military activities reflected in Egyptian texts were confined to Egypt and her east Delta frontier. Egyptian settlements in southern Canaan represent commercial ventures from which Egypt gained mostly raw materials not found in the Nile Valley. Among provable early imports were copper, turquoise, and coniferous woods and oils which, with the exception of cedar, were native to southern Canaan. Cedar came from Lebanon, though because of the ambiguity of the scant early evidence it is not possible to determine when a regular maritime trade with Lebanon began. That and other questions remain and it is possible that present excavations, particularly in the Egyptian Delta, will help in their solution. |
