Como algunas de estas monedas se descubrieron en las islas Wessels de Australia, fuera del Territorio del Norte en 1944, la situación plantea algunas preguntas sobre el momento real en que los europeos visitaron por primera vez las costas australianas, siendo un punto fundamental el cómo 900 años de viejas monedas africanas terminaron en la remota Australia, lo cual posiblemente reescriba la historia de la exploración europea local.
Artículo un poco "Eurocéntrico" (si es que existe la palabreja). También se pueden encontrar monedas chinas y eso no cambia en nada la fecha en que los europeos nos aparecimos por allí. El mundo no necesariamente gira en torno a nosotros.
Teniendo en cuenta que el comercio entre las ciudades-estado del este africano y el sur de Asia (y del sur al este de Asia) no es precisamente algo nuevo (a no ser que tu educación haya sido eurocéntrica de la hostia, como suele ocurrir) no es de extrañar.
Trade between India and Africa has a long and distinguished history. It goes back thousands of years to the days when Indian traders, using the seasonal monsoon winds, sailed to the East coast of Africa in search of mangrove poles, elephant tusks, and gold and gemstones that made their way up from what is now Zimbabwe.
This intensified with the establishment of Omani suzerainty in the 17th century over Zanzibar and its hinterland. The island of Pemba produced a copious variety of sought-after spices such as cardamom, cloves, cinnamon and black pepper. A number of Indian merchants, some of whose descendents live in East Africa to this day, trace their presence in East Africa to this period.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maritime_history_of_Somalia During the Age of the Ajuuraans, the sultanates and republics of Merca, Mogadishu, Barawa, Hobyo and their respective ports flourished and had a lucrative foreign commerce with ships sailing to Arabia, India, Venetia,[5] Persia, Egypt, Portugal and as far away as China.
In the 16th century, Duarte Barbosa noted that many ships from the Kingdom of Cambaya in India sailed to Mogadishu with fabric and spices, for which they in return received gold, wax and ivory.[...] Trade with the Hormuz went both ways, and Jewish merchants brought their Indian textile and fruit to the Somali coast in exchange for grain and wood.[13] Trading relations were established with Malacca in the 15th century,[14] with cloth, ambergris and porcelain being the main commodities exchanged.[15] Giraffes, zebras and incense were exported to the Ming Empire of China, which established Somali merchants as leaders in the commerce between the Asia and Africa,[16] and in the process influenced the Chinese language with the Somali language and vice versa.
