A report calls every foreign luxury object in Egypt proof of peaceful trade. What is the main problem with that conclusion?
Egypt never possessed objects made outside its borders
Peaceful trade was the only possible means of exchange
Foreign goods could also arrive as tribute, gifts, or spoils✓Respuesta correcta
Every imported object must have been made of cedar
Explicación
Valuables could arrive through commerce, tribute, diplomatic exchange, or seizure in war, and these channels sometimes overlapped. A foreign object alone therefore cannot establish peaceful purchase without contextual evidence about how it arrived.
