Abstract

Lapis lazuli, as a luxury prevailing in the Middle East and the Near East, has long-distance trade across Asia and Africa. This trade was influenced profoundly by both the geographical environment and the political situation along the way. Therefore the study of lapis lazuli trade has great significance in the interpretation of the trans-regional history at the same time. Based on the related geographical environment as well as the political environment and viewed from the perspective of trade routes and means of exchange, this article will aim at the study of lapis lazuli trade from Afghanistan to Egypt during mid-late Bronze Age from the level of history.
