Larry, there is a train of throught that says that Bonsai were kept in egypt, primarily of healing herbs so that the travelling healers could take their plants with them, also, emperors? had trees in pots outside their pyramids, again tending to be healing herbs like rosemary in order to ward off evil spirits, at this point it was not a realised art form purely a religious/spiritual aid.
Regards
Rowan
