Evidence for ancient Egypt-India sea trade

How much documentation survives for seaborne trade between ancient Egypt and India?

Little direct documentation survives. Indirect evidence includes imagery and exchanged ideas, while the loss of perishable records limits what can be recovered.

Very little direct documentation survives for seaborne trade between Egypt and India. Imagery and the exchange of ideas provide indirect evidence for the connection. Many records were kept on materials that no longer survive in a readable form. Archival destruction is also suggested as a possible explanation, but the accompanying recollection about Alexandria and Hypatia is tentative and does not identify particular lost trade records.
