Archeological records indicate that people from the [[Timeline_of_major_world_events#Neolithic_era|Neolithic era]] traded in {{wp|spices}}, {{wp|obsidian}}, {{wp|sea shells}}, {{wp|gemstones}} and other high-value materials as early as the 10th millennium BC. This spice trade was associated with overland routes early on, but maritime routes proved to be the factor which helped the trade grow, especially in what is today the [[Middle seas region]]. The first true maritime spice trade network in the [[Audonia]] was by the Austronesian peoples of the islands in the [[Ocean of Cathay]]. They established trade routes with modern [[Daxia]] and [[Yanuban]] as early as 1500 BC, ushering an exchange of material culture (like {{wp|catamarans}}, {{wp|outrigger boats}}, {{wp|lashed-lug boats|lashed-lug}} and {{wp|sewn-plank boats}}, and {{wp|paan}}) and {{wp|cultigens}} (like {{wp|coconuts}}, {{wp|sandalwood}}, {{wp|bananas}}, and {{wp|sugarcane}}), as well as connecting the material cultures of [[Daxia]] and peoples of [[Daria]].

This trade network expanded to reach as far as the [[Aab-e-Farus]] and the [[Ancient Istroyan civilization]]. It continued into historic times, later becoming the Maritime Silk Road. | ||
In the first millennium BC the Arabs, Persians, and [[Arunid Empire|Arunids]] were also engaged in sea and land trade in luxury goods such as spices, gold, precious stones, leather of exotic animals, ebony and pearls. The sea trade was in the [[Aab-e-Farus]] and the [[Sea of Kandahar]]. Luxury goods including spices, ebony, silk and fine textiles were traded along the overland incense route. Spices are discussed in biblical narratives, and there is literary evidence for their use in ancient [[Ancient Istroyan civilization|Istroyan]], [[Adonerum]], and [[Great Levantia|Great Levantine]] society. The trade in spices lessened after the fall of [[Great Levantia]], but demand for ginger, black pepper, cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg revived the trade in later centuries. | In the first millennium BC the Arabs, Persians, and [[Arunid Empire|Arunids]] were also engaged in sea and land trade in luxury goods such as spices, gold, precious stones, leather of exotic animals, ebony and pearls.
