Talk:Land of Punt

About the location of the Land of Punt

I find it surprising that not more weight is given to the homonymity between Puntland and the Land of Punt. On Queen Hatsheput's temple relief, a Queen Ati of Punt (Pwenet) is depicted, with uncommonly big buttocks. It would suggest in any case an African origin for this queen. The relief describes quite a long sea voyage, which makes it likely Hatsheput's expedition left the Red Sea and entered the Sea of Berbera, previously called Erythrean Sea. Legends and folklore in Northern Somalia (Somaliland and Puntland) speaks of Queen Arawelo from the Sanaag region that straddles both regions. In the different versions of the legend, a matriarchy is mentioned. Again, this points to Puntland/Sanaag as a likely location for the Land of Pwenet described in Hatsheput's annals. On the other hand, since the evidence obtained from analysing baboon hairs is contradictory, why not remove it entirely from this article? It also assumes that baboon populations have remained static over thousands of years; on what basis? My suggestion is therefore to emphasize that Puntland is the most likely location for the ancient land of Punt, while alluding to the debates - but perhaps in shorter form.

Clarification needed: What is/are antyue?

Re: Pharaoh Sahura's expedition to Punt, what are the goods he returns with? What is the definition for antyue, and the source for this line? I couldn't find a definition online. 100.15.131.207 (talk) 23:28, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
