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
