In 1809-10 Salt returned to Ethiopia as a quasi-official envoy under CanningÕs sponsorship marching from the Red Sea coast with an escort of 160 bearers to explore trade and diplomatic links with the Ethiopian emperor Wolde Selassie. Britain fearing a French alliance with Egypt wished to secure a port on the Red Sea. Salt carried out a little archaeology discovering at Aksum three large Ethiopian inscriptionsÓ and documenting his work in this impressive volume Howgego II:S6. SaltÕs role in three key excavations Belzoni Caviglia and dÕAthanasi yielded splendid collections of Egyptian antiquities many of which are now in the British Museum Clayton 44. In 1815 Salt was appointed Consul-General in Egypt and a year later together with John Burckhardt employed Giovanni Baptista Belzoni to remove the colossal bust of Rameses II from Thebes now also in the British Museum. For this Salt was hailed as Òthe second Lord Elgin.Ó Voyage to Abyssinia includes Òparticulars respecting the aboriginal African tribes extending from Mosambique to the borders of EgyptÓ and a lengthy glossary of local languages.
