    Egyptian Trade and Diplomacy -...

    Ancient Egypt’s prosperity and cultural richness were significantly shaped by its early trade networks and exchanges with neighboring regions. From the very beginnings of Egyptian civilization, trade played a crucial role in building economic strength and fostering diplomatic relationships. The development of trade networks allowed Egypt not only to obtain essential resources but also to influence and be influenced by surrounding cultures. 
    The origins of Egyptian trade practices can be traced back to the Predynastic period, when local communities exchanged goods such as pottery, beads, and tools. As Egyptian society evolved and centralized under powerful pharaohs, trade became more organized, enabling long-distance interactions. By the time of the Old Kingdom, Egypt had established a network of trade routes that stretched beyond its borders, connecting it to various civilizations across the ancient world. 
    One of the earliest and most vital trade routes was the Nile River, serving as a natural highway that facilitated the movement of goods and people. The Nile connected southern and northern Egypt while also linking the civilization to Nubia and further into sub-Saharan Africa. This route allowed the exchange of gold, ivory, ebony, and exotic animal products, which were crucial to the Egyptian economy and the creation of luxury goods. Additionally, maritime trade across the Red Sea connected Egypt to the Arabian Peninsula and even the distant lands of Punt, where incense, spices, and other valuable commodities were sourced.

    In Walking the Tideline, Caroline Kurtz solo hikes the rugged, beautiful Oregon Coast—an expedition of isolation, adventure, joy, and grief inside the emotional wilderness of finding one's identity after the death of a loved one. 
      
    In her third memoir, Portland-based author Caroline Kurtz travels the coast of Oregon on foot in her late sixties, tracing the boundary of sand and salt water, rock and forests, carrying her shelter and food as she navigates the edges of solace and resolution after the death of her husband. During her journey, Kurtz grieves as she reflects on her long, and at times rocky, marriage to Mark, whom she had known and loved since she was a teenager in boarding school in Ethiopia. As she navigates the adventures encountered along the trail—leaky tents, hitching rides, chance encounters, and beautiful landscapes—she intertwines the historical events of coastal Oregon with her spiritual experience, giving space for the shattering of an old identity and the planting of a new self, nourished and enlightened by the depths of a profoundly complex and considered life. 
      
    Kurtz spent her early years in Oregon before her parents moved her and her siblings to remote Ethiopia, where she spent her childhood and teen years, before returning to America for college, where she reunited with and married Mark. The two lived variously in Portland, Ethiopia, and Kenya, and retired to Portland, where Caroline now lives.
