[Ancient and Middle Ages] The earliest African explorers were the ancient Egyptians. King Safra of the 5th Dynasty in the 25th century BC sent a fleet to the land of Punt to obtain spices to offer to the gods. The land of Punt is thought to be a part of Somalia. Herodotus, recorded in the 5th century BC, wrote that King Necho II of the 26th Dynasty in the 7th century BC employed the Phoenicians to circumnavigate Africa. Expansion into the interior took place up the Nile. The southern limit of the ancient Egyptian kingdom was the Sixth Cataract, near Khartoum.

[古代・中世] 最古のアフリカ探検家は古代エジプト人であった。前25世紀の第5王朝サフラ王は神に供える香料を入手するためプントの国へ船団を派遣した。プントの国はソマリアの一角と考えられている。前7世紀の第26王朝ネコ2世はフェニキア人を雇ってアフリカ周航をさせた,と前5世紀のヘロドトスは記している。内陸部への進出はナイル川をさかのぼって行われた。古代エジプト王国が達した南限はハルツームに近い第6急流地帯である。 出典 株式会社平凡社世界大百科事典 第2版について 情報 |
