Where does the cinnamon trade come from

The cinnamon trade is one of the oldest and most global of all trading networks. Cinnamon was imported to Egypt as early as 2,000 BC, but those who required it were the rich and powerful. It was so highly prized among ancient nations that it was regarded as a gift fit for monarchs and even for a god: a fine inscription records the gift of cinnamon and cassia to the temple of Apollo at Miletus The Chinese were the first to make cinnamon popular in Europe by trading the spice along with many other goods along the Silk Road. The Arabs, who controlled the trade route, kept a tight grip on cinnamon’s sources and guarded its cultivation locations closely—even going so far as to pretend they gathered the spice from magically cinnamon “trees” that grew in mysterious lands far away. (In reality, they harvested cinnamon from bushes.) .
