古埃及红海航路考

Research of Ancient Egyptian Red Sea Route

红海航路早在公元前2500年既已开通,据铭文文献和考古挖掘证实其起点在对着科普托斯东边的噶苏斯旱谷相对的红海岸边,终点则是红海与亚丁湾交界处的非洲一边。这条航路使我们重新审视对古埃及文化稳定内敛安于尼罗河谷的环境决定论,有益于我们对该问题做更加深入的思考。

The Red Sea route opened as early as two thousand and five hundred years BC,with its departure point at the coast place of Red Sea opposite the Wadi Gasus to the east of Koptos and the destination at the African side on the area of the linking part of the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden according to inscriptions and archaeology documents.The reconstruction of this Red Sea route enables us to rethink the accepted conclusion that ancient Egyptian is a conservative nation because of the geography providing a safe environment to them.
