The Travels of Marco Polo
Professor Dümichen, of Strasburg, has discovered at the Temple of Daïr-el-Báhri, in Upper Egypt, paintings illustrating the traffic carried on between Egypt and Arabia, as early as the 17th century B.C. In these paintings there are representations, not only of bags of olibanum, but also of olibanum‐trees planted in tubs or boxes, being conveyed by ship from Arabia to Egypt. (Hanbury and Flückiger, Pharmacographia, p. 121.)
