...18th dynasty, circa 1450 BCE... would suggest that the ancient Egyptians had access to this Southeast Asian resin via long-distant trade almost a millennium earlier than previously known...
IOW, it's one of *those* topics.

“ancient Egyptians had access to this Southeast Asian resin via long-distant trade”
Long distance trade has been around a very long time. Inuit in the Canadian arctic had Viking-made products long before the Inuit and Vikings ever met.

I’m sure Joey would want to give her a sniff.

Don’t ask him about this, you’ll find out they graduated in the same class from an historically Black Egyptian university that had a swimming program.

...May I breathe the sweet air that comes from your mouth. May I see your beauty daily. My wish is that I hear your sweet voice of the north wind, that my body may grow young with life for love of you. May you give me your arms with your life-force, that I may receive it and live. May you call on my name continually, without it having be sought... [text from KV55]

This is a fascinating use of the latest technology. The Bible mentions aromas, precious spices and balms many times. Imagine being there in a naturally-perfumed world instead of the fake candle aromas and “cinnamon” Christmas decorations in Walmart. Wonderful post.

I want a TRUE multi-sensory experience of Egypt.
Such as a fully-immersive, true-physical-feeling of what it was like to be a Pharoah serviced by his many concubines.

Hey, the Pharaohs would probably want a true multi-sensory experience of what it's like to be Laz. :^)
