[QUOTE]Originally posted by Young African & Cultured: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by The Explorer: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by KoKaKoLa: [QUOTE]Originally posted by The Explorer: No, "Cushitic speakers type" doesn't sound any better, because it is not the "scientific" response that I pressed for. And the location of Pwnt is far from being certain. BTW, where do the AE claim to have come from Pwnt? [/QUOTE]Didnt they call it Ta Netjer? Doesnt Ta Netjer means land of the Gods/Ancestors?[/QUOTE]First of, how do you figure that "God" is interchangeable with "ancestors"? Secondly, it should be read as "God", not "Gods"; the plural form of Neter is "Neteru"/"Neterou". Thirdly, I have seen no evidence wherein the AE claim that they originated from Pwnt. Fourthly, I haven't come across any AE text yet, that pointedly refers Pwnt as "Ta-Neter". [QUOTE] They imported Myhrr,Frankinscence, ivory and pigmies from there. Pnt was depicted with wild animals common to Africa.[/QUOTE]Do pygmies live among the Beja? [QUOTE] The puntites looked like the Ancient Egyptians. just like the Beja look like the Somalis and the Oromo..[/QUOTE]Do you have any wall murals showing the "Beja" side by side with the AE? That would be the best way to tell if the AE saw it like you do. [QUOTE] there was 2 ways to go there : road or boat (via the Red Sea) this is obvious. [/QUOTE]The Red Sea length spans Sudan all the way to Djibouti. It is the only other avenue to get to territories beyond Kush. This info doesn't make the precise location or extent of Pwnt "obvious". So, do you think you are now up to the task of scientifically establishing your "Cushitic Speakers types"? [/qb][/QUOTE]Also, do not forget that the reference of Punt as the "Land of the God" could have been the calque for Ancient Greek legends claiming that the Ancient Ethiopian land close to the ocean would be the favourite place of the Gods because of the festive mood it was providing. In this case, it would have nothing to do with geographical origin. [/QB][/QUOTE]
