the theories that the traditional Egyptians used Indian muslin to wrap their mummies or that the queen in hat-shepsut (1481 BC) imported sonter incense from India or that the ophir to which king solaman (800 BC) despatched an expedition for gold was in India, cannot be confirmed. But there's little purpose to doubt that the elephants which are discovered on the black obelisk of shalmaneser (858-824 BC) together with apes and Bactrian camels had crossed the hindukush and that the teak wooden used furnishing the temple of the moon at Ur and the palace of nebuchadnazzer (604-562 BC) was sent to India by the Persian gulf”.
