While the researchers say it is unlikely that Berenike traded directly with eastern Java, Vietnam or Thailand, they say their discoveries raise the possibility that cargo was finding its way to the Egyptian port from the Far East, probably via India.
The team believes that Berenike was the biggest and most active of six ports in the Red Sea until some point after A.D. 500, when shipping activities mysteriously stopped.
Shipping activities at Berenike were mentioned in ancient texts that were rediscovered in the Middle Ages, but the port's precise location eluded explorers until the early 19th century.

Some theories link this group to the K-type asteroids of the Eos family, a group that possesses S-type spectra in visible wavelengths and C-type spectra in the near-infrared.
Based on reflectance spectra and albedo, the asteroids 221 Eos (104 km diameter) and 653 Berenike (39 km diameter) are analogs for the olivine-rich CO3 meteorites.
These asteroids are located near 3 AU at the 9:4 resonance, where meteorites are expected to become Earth crossers on timescales greater than tens of millions of years.

These objects all have spectra consistent with olivine-dominated assemblages whose absorption bands have been suppressed by opaques.
The two observed Eos family members (221 Eos and 653 Berenike) are spectral analogs to the CO3 chondrite Warrenton.
The other observed object (599 Luisa) is a spectral analog for CV3 chondrite Mokoia.
