Navigation from Cyprus to Egypt

[hoplite14gr]

Please try the site www.ancientgr.com . Follow the English pages. You will find pictures of an ancient "astrolabus". That might aid you in the navigation problem. Survaivng clay palques from the Bronze Age talk about various constallations on the sky. Take into account the fact that campagning was done from late spring to early fall, which means that most of the time the skies were clear and the stars visible. Merchant cargo ships would brave the weather and the seas but the admiral would make his calculations based on the triremes. I gave you info on ancient warer proofing on your other post.
