Huggy, you slipped in an impertinent reply that I missed.
Yawn. In 1992 Donald Redford published "Egypt, Canaan, and Israel in ancient times" and in it he describes the robust trade involving Egypt and the Levant/Cyprus. Thor Heyerdahl got himself all worked up about reed boats and nearly died trying to cross the Atlantic in one. Now there were some scholars who clung to the idea that Egypt was simply river based just as there are some morons who think the bible is fucking real. I'm sure you know the type. Nonetheless, and no matter how much you try to cling to outmoded theories, archaeologists have been steadily uncovering evidence of Egyptian sea-faring in both the Med and the Red Sea/Indian Ocean regions.
These are facts, Hugs. I know you are a little weak on the concept of "facts."
