A wild Ea-Nasir appeared!
#the book is#The Ocean of Churn#by Sanjeev Sanyal#very readable history of the Indian Ocean trade#this section is kind of hilarious because Ea-Nasir doesn't really have anything to do with anything?#it's just background 'yeah there used to be a massive copper industry in Oman'#and the section is more about how we know that egypt traded with india and oman#because of peppercorns and frankincense#and they probably came through ethiopia/eritrea#it really seemed to me like it was just irresistible to throw one of the best preserved and funniest merchants of the area in there#ea-nasir#tumblr's favorite copper merchant
