Voies commerciales, ports et marchands de Syrie, Anatolie et Méditerranée orientale au IIIe millénaire av. J.-C.

Abstract

The recent publications of Egyptian texts of the third millennium B.C. and of the texts of Ebla in Syria offer the possibility to know that several cities, as Burrushanda, Oura, Alalakh, Kharran, Emar, which were commercial markets in the II millennium B.C., were already attested and important in the III millennium BC. The history of the relationships among Egypt, Syria-Palestina and Anatolia in the III millennium BC must be revised.
