I was reading an article recently that suggests that as early as 1330 BCE the production of opium and its trade across Asia and into Africa was quite popular. According to scholarly interpretation of some hieroglyphs, King Tut was known for his frequent use of the substance, and his unhealthy behavior grew to adversely affect his leadership in Egypt. At one point, his wife and advisors held somewhat of an intervention to explain to him how terrible his lifestyle choices were, and although his cause of death is still considered up for debate, it could very well have been a result of his addiction to the drug. After the intervention, his wife couldn't find him and searched for several days for a sign of him, and when she eventually did find him she was incredibly upset to see that he was very deep in de Nile.
