[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sundjata: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by The Old Doctore: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by The Explorer: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by KING: The Explorer This website says a little about AE coming from Punt: http://www.learninghaven.com/ancient_egypt.htm Also many people claim that The Name of Punt, lends to people thinking that Egyptians came from there meaning "Land of ancestors", or as Aboubacry Moussa LAM's translated it, translated "Original earth/home" Peace [/QUOTE]Well, actually I had a primary Kemetic/Egyptic text in mind, which supposedly professes that the AE came from Pwnt. I know about AE reverential attitudes towards "Ta-Neter" ~ the "land of God" [some have read this as the "Divine Land"], and word about this being reference to territory "[i]south[/i] of Kemet". However beyond that, and short of speculations in some quarters, I haven't seen any concrete demonstration of the precise location of the ancestral land as it was understood by the AE themselves. I will give you props though, for having some gut to give some form of an answer, which is much more than I can say for the topic opener. [/qb][/QUOTE]Most of the evidence that I've been able to look over points to an Eastern Sudanese, Eritrean, Northern Ethiopian location, for the Land of Punt. http://articles.sfgate.com/2010-05-08/news/20889744_1_baboons-punt-human-evolution Disputes over Punt's location have gone on for decades. Punt (pronounced Poont), archaeologists have said, was in Mozambique, or Somalia; or on the Sinai Peninsula or in Yemen, or somewhere in Western Asia where Israel, Lebanon and Syria now lie. Narrowing the search at a recent meeting in Oakland of the American Research Center in Egypt three scientists announced with confidence they had ruled out all of those five locations, and there was no disagreement from the 300 archaeologists there. The Land of Punt, the scientist said, must have existed in eastern North Africa - either in the region where Ethiopia and Eritrea confront each other, or east of the Upper Nile in a lowland area of eastern Sudan. [/qb][/QUOTE]Check out my recent thread on the location of Pwnt. http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=15;t=004165;p=1#000000 ^It can clearly be identified with particular polities in the Eritrean lowlands and southeastern Sudan. Yemen has NOT been ruled out either, yet Yemen in that sense wouldn't be mutually exclusive (culturally and demographically) from Eritrea since the latter is undeniably connected to Punt.
