El Intercambio de bienes entre Egipto y el Asia Anterior. Desde reinado de Tuthmosis III al de Akhenaton

This study investigates the forms of exchange of goods in the second half of the XVIIIth Egyptian Dynasty (Thutmose III to Amenhotep IV/Akhenaten) (15th-14th centuries BCE) between Egypt and Western Asia, including Hatti, Mittanni, Babylon, Assyria, Alashiya and Canaan. Its main aims are: to determine the role of the exchange of goods in the reorganization of the Egyptian state from Thutmose III on; to discern the innovations implemented in the exchanges between Egypt and the northern states during the reigns of Amenhotep III and Amenhotep IV; to interpret the messages sent by the great kings with regard to the exchange of goods within the context of the ideology of each region; to determine the extent of economical, political, social and ideological relations within the framework of the circulation of goods.
