Product Information

Extrait: Les geographes grecs, latins et arabes, sont tellement obscurs dans leurs descriptions des iles de la mer Erythree ou de la mer des Indes, qu'il est difficile de savoir si, avant les temps modernes, les peuples civilises ont connu Madagascar et les iles du canal de Mozambique. Il ne faut, sur ce point, s'attendre a trouver dans leurs ouvrages que des notions generales sur la navigation des anciens le long de la cote orientale d'Afrique, et quelques vagues indications des iles voisines. Ce n'est qu'en rapprochant ces renseignements des observations et des traditions locales, qu'il est possible d'entrevoir la provenance des peuplades noires, jaunes et blanches, dont le melange a forme la population de Madagascar et des Comores, et l'epoque de leur arrivee dans ces iles. Sans parler des expeditions fabuleuses de Bacchus, d'Osiris et de Semiramis, la plus ancienne expedition maritime a la cote d'Ethiopie, dont l'histoire fasse mention, est celle d'Ouserteseu, prince egyptien de la 12eme dynastie, que les Grecs ont appele sesostris. Il fut le premier roi d'Egypte qui fit construire des vaisseaux longs. Avec une flotte de trois cents de ces vaisseaux, il conquit les iles de la mer Rouge, une partie de l'Ethiopie, et franchit le detroit de Bab-el-Mandeb; mais il ne parait pas s'etre avance, du cote de l'Afrique, beaucoup au-dela du Cap Gardafui. Ramses Meiamoun, prince de la 19eme dynastie, fit une semblable expedition, environ 1700 ans av. J.-C.. On voit les flottes de Ramses representees sur les murs de Karnak et du palais de Medinet-Abou qu'il fit construire. M ris, avec une flotte de vaisseaux longs, subjugua tous les peuples riverains de la mer Erythree; il fit voile encore plus loin, dit Herodote, jusqu'a une mer qui n'etait plus navigable a cause des bas-fonds. Ces expeditions furent purement militaires. On ne peut faire que des conjectures sur l'etablissement des premieres relations commerciales avec la cote d'Afrique; il est probable que cette cote fut d'abord
