This document describes the culture visited and its interaction with other
cultures in the region. It reveals cooperation and specialization
undertaken in the interest of trade. Like earlier documents we have seen, this one
emphasizes the concept of what might be gained by attempting to understand
the nature of foreign interactions rather than trying to
change or “enlighten” people from other cultures. The point of
view
is from a European obviously impressed by what he has observed in another
culture.
