Solution
Trade was earned on both by land and sea routes. For internal trade, goods were transported by boats and barges along the Nile and by road on camels and donkeys. For foreign trade, the Egyptians built the world’s first seafaring ships. They exported linen, wheat, glassware, jewelry, and furniture. They imported gold, ivory, copper and cedarwood. The king controlled foreign trade. The barter system was used and the mediums of exchange were usually grain, silver, and copper.
