- Egypt exported horses to other parts of Africa.
Answer: Options C and D
<u>Explanation:
</u>
In ancient Egypt, trade was done among the Egyptians and also among other peoples. Foreign trade was organized by Pharaoh, who was responsible for commanding the expeditions. Geographically, Egypt was favoured and had business with some Greek islands, with Africa and with Asia.
The exchange of goods was used as exchange. The Nile River provided an avenue for commerce and many people came from other regions looking for Egyptian products but not often to trade.
The main products that the Egyptians exported were gold (much requested by other peoples), papyrus, flax, wheat and artifacts made by artisans. There are reports of Egyptian horse exports to other parts of Africa. In addition, the Egyptians imported lapis lazuli from what today is Afghanistan.
