Yi•shᵊmᵊeil•imꞋ Trade Route |
Yi•shᵊm•â•eilꞋ dwelled bᵊ-Mi•dᵊbarꞋ, i.e. Pâ•rânꞋ, where he became an archer. This, combined with his departure from the family and ranch in Khë•vᵊr•ōnꞋ, suggest that he likely migrated to nearby Ta-seti.
Yi•shᵊmᵊeil•imꞋ "Inner Ridge" Trade Route from their homeland of GilᵊâdꞋ (note: not Khë•vᵊr•ōnꞋ, which they merely caravanned through!) south to the NëgꞋëv & the Sin•aiꞋ |
"Archer Country" was the HQ of Egypt's elite, Chariot-Archers Cavalry during the period that his contemporary Par•ōhꞋ, Mentu-hotep 3, was continuing his predecessors' campaigns to subdue, and extract the gold of, Kha•vil•âhꞋ in the south while simultaneously establishing diplomatic relations and trading routes as far north as Kᵊna•anꞋ—i.e. GilᵊâdꞋ.
The nomadic Yi•shᵊmᵊeil•imꞋ became the trains & truckers of their day; merchant traders driving camel caravans of merchandise, plying the entirety of this trade route from today's Eritrean-Ethiopian border region in the south, north along Africa's east coast to the Sinai, east across the Sinai's Mi•dᵊbarꞋ Pâ•rânꞋ to ancient Kᵊna•anꞋ; establishing colonial caravanserai settlements at regular ≈32 km intervals. Once in Kᵊna•anꞋ, they plied their wares to Gilead. Yi•shᵊmᵊeil•imꞋ became nomadic traders ranging from חֲוִילָ֔ה (Kha•vil•âhꞋ, bundle, package; i.e. Nubia), the ancient gold country of modern Ethiopia, along the SE African coast, through bᵊ-Mi•dᵊbarꞋ Shūr in the Sinai, north along the Mediterranean coast to גִּלְעָד (GilᵊâdꞋ, Circle of Witness; modern Jalad in NW Jordan; ).
