India history and geography
Source: Google Books: Ellicott's Bible Commentary: Volume 1Cinnamon (produce of Cinnamomum zeylanicum) is the name of a spice, believed to be imported in ancient times from India or Ceylon by the Arabians who passed it to Egypt/Greece through the Phoenicians.—While myrrh was one of the commonest of spices in the ancient world, cinnamon was one of the rarest. It is the produce of the Laurus cinnamomum, or Cinnamomum zeylanicum, a tree allied to the laurel, which now grows only in Ceylon, Borneo, Sumatra, China, Cochin China, and in India on the coast of Malabar. According to Herodotus (iii. 111) and Strabo (16, p. 535), it grew anciently in Arabia; but this is doubted, and the Arabians are believed to have imported it from India or Ceylon, and passed it on to the Phoenicians, who conveyed it to Egypt and Greece. The present passage of Scripture is the first in which it is mentioned, and in the rest of the Old Testament it obtains notice only twice (Proverbs 7:16; Song of Solomon 4:14). The word used, which is kinnĕmôn, makes it tolerably certain that the true cinnamon is meant.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
