Ancient Egyptians were busy trading with their neighbors.

They had a fun trade network that allowed them to get and share many interesting goods.

Here are some of the most popular things they traded:

1. Egyptian Goods:

   • Papyrus: This was really important for writing things down and keeping track of trades.
   • Linen: A special type of fabric that everyone loved.

2. Imported Goods:

   • Gold: The kingdom of Nubia had a lot of gold and traded it often.
   • Incense: This came from a place called Punt and was used in religious ceremonies.
   • Ebony and Ivory: These fancy materials came from areas in sub-Saharan Africa.

The trade routes went from Egypt to many places, like the Levant, Nubia, and the Arabian Peninsula. This helped people swap a wide variety of resources.
