Brief analysis of the different values of some aromatic products, which Egypt
imported from African countries and became a fundamental part of the belief
system of ancient Egyptian religion. Scented trees and plants were particularly
important since they were used to evoke the Gods and recreate a sacred
space for them on Earth. Beautiful gardens, sensual pleasures and the divine
birth of pharaohs were all linked to the use of those foreign products, thereby
justifying their provisioning through commercial expeditions planned by the
crown over the centuries.
