The Pharaoh Who Conquered the Sea Over three thousand years ago, legend has it that Queen Hatshepsut, Egypt's first female pharaoh, sent a fleet of ships to the wonderful, distant land of Punt. A bas-relief in the temple where she is entombed in Luxor shows them bringing back extraordinary treasures. But did this expedition really happen? And if it did, where exactly is the land of Punt?

Punt was in North Eritrea most likely not Somalia but it's close so who cares

No one knows. It could be anywhere in the horn or even in the middle east. However I have a strong feeling it is in Somalia... hellow Puntland.
Did Eritrea exist at that time?

We are not claiming foreigners history or foreign territory saaxiib so dont lump us up with AAs. Unlike them we are speculating around somethings existence in Somalia (our territory).
The mystery behind Punt is a fascinating topic which anyone can discuss on there is no real concencus on it. The topic is open for the average joe.
This thread is something we can express our knowledge on. None of us are in power to dictate what goes on in Somalia. But the Land of Punt is an extraordinary place as well as topic, and no one has yet fully found it.
Scope of what was exported from Punt to Egypt - wiki
The Land and the people of Somalia - google books
The exports in 2009, are the same products exported to Egypt 3000 years ago.
Myrrh is found in Puntland, and Gold is found in the West. So there is a possibility the Egyptians where operating from Zeila all the way to Boosaso.

Most of it is from some obscure blogs and heavily edited Wikipedia pages, even though it's more grounded in reality than the original "we wuz kangz" it's still from the same idea. Where our present society sucks balls and we fantasize about a glorious ancient history.lmaoooooo we wuz kangs

Heck even the chinese do it in regards to their inferiority complex with the west, "We may not properly deal with street shitting BUT we have a glorious 5000 year history".

So? Everyone does that more or less. A large part of Somali history is untold, we're just interested in what our ancestors were doing thousands of years ago. No one knows where the land of punt lays but there is a possibility it is in Somalia and we have every right to speculate since it concerns us.
Why you are so mad that we have history and it is beautiful? Take self hate to AA forumlmaoooooo we wuz kangs

More factual evidence points to modern day Eritrea, but I'm guessing it was East Sudan (Beja land, they were called Medjay those days) all the way down into Djibouti/North Somalia. Most of the documented resources (gold, ebony wood, ivory, incense, gum etc) traded from Punt could be found in Eritrea, North East Ethiopia, Djibouti and also Somalia. None of these nations were around in the ancient days rather the regions were owned by large ethnic groups and tribes. I'm guessing the Beja and Afar to be honest, they are amongst the natives in these regions, but Cushitic speaking East Africans are all related, from Afar-Saho to Oromos to Somalis, we're very very similar people.
Not as a nation but as two ethnic groups controlling most of the lands, Beja and Afar-Saho are the natives. So yeah
