same reason it dodged rich places in babylon and persia

>>18577765I'm no expert but it might have something to do with the world's tallest mountain range being in the way.

India used sea routes

>>18578368You mean south iraq? It was irrelevant ever since the Persians conquered it
They used boats to trade with himyar because there are a bunch of mountains in the way. NEXT
