Carl. Itâs strange you not pushing a Blue Oval (the only car for me) around the track but I remain a staunch Carl Edwards fan who in my opinion was screwed out of the 2011 Sprint Cup Championship or at least Co-championship. Get up on that wheel and win it this year. Bill Clark, Florence Kentucky.
By the end of the 10th century, the Cholan Empire controlled trade along both eastern and western coasts in the south and would extend their empire to Sri Lanka and the Maldive Islands. The arrival of Vasco da Gama from Portugal in 1498 established a sea route from Europe to India.
By the 1st century BCE, a series of sea and land routes throughout India supported trade among regions of the subcontinent and with the Mediterranean and Southeast Asia. Rome's conquest of Egypt in 30 BCE consolidated a maritime route to India that remained active into the 7th century. Pepper, spices, and textiles were the primary items traded with the West in exchange for wine, olive oil, and Roman coins.
