The Land of Punt — Egypt’s Lost Trading Partner
Summary
The Land of Punt was a wealthy trading partner of ancient Egypt, known for supplying gold, incense, ivory, ebony, and exotic animals. Egyptian records, especially those from Pharaoh Hatshepsut's reign, describe voyages to Punt and portray it as a prosperous and sacred land. Although modern research increasingly points to the Horn of Africa, the kingdom's exact location remains uncertain, making it one of the most fascinating geographical mysteries of the ancient world.
