A similar process of unification and state creation and empire building was fermenting on the other part of the world in the Far East, with the Shang Dynasty established around 1600 B.C. The world is now becoming more colorful. The vast dessert area from the eastside of the Mesopotamia and Elamite city-states must have had a geopolitical effect on the interactions between nations of the world, making this vast desert a wide ocean of sand that disconnected the nations on the two sides of the desert, similar to the Atlantic Ocean separating Africa and Europe from the Americas which already have had civilizations thriving before Columbus arrives to the shore of the continent, however, it was proved that a sort of interaction through trade did exist in the earlier times of the three territories of Egypt’s pre-unification history which revealed imports from far-off lands (such as olive oil from the Near East and lapis lazuli from Afghanistan) stimulated external trade. This fact does not make the world look less international, for our recent studies of international relations, for a long period of time, dealt with the world of the European nations’ interactions as an international order, neglecting the existence of Africa or Latin America and most of Asia. On the contrary, the world we are discussing here is dealing with nations from three continents known to the world—Africa, Asia, and Europe—with fully defined actors, structures, and rules. And despite the fact of the “vast ocean of sand,” which disconnected the Near East from its far side, interactions have been proved through trade via the lands of Afghanistan and Indus city-states, making it a full-fledged international order.
