Iram is Land of Punt

"The oldest mention of the city of Iram was found in the Ebla tablets, dated from c. 2500 BCE to c. 2250 BCE. In November 1991, the remains of a settlement were discovered in southern Oman which was hypothesized to be the legendary lost city[8] claimed to have been destroyed by God. In 1992 Ranulph Fiennes wrote a book called Atlantis of the Sands about the expedition.[9] The term Atlantis of the Sands had originally been coined by T. E. Lawrence.[10]"

"The earliest recorded ancient Egyptian expedition to Punt was organized by Pharaoh Sahure of the Fifth Dynasty (25th century BC), returning with cargoes of antyue and Puntites. However, gold from Punt is recorded as having been in Egypt as early as the time of Pharaoh Khufu of the Fourth Dynasty.[14]"


"Rather than being a city, interpretation of the evidence suggested that "Ubar" was more likely to have been a region—the “Land of the Iobaritae” identified by Ptolemy. The decline of the region was probably due to a reduction in the frankincense trade caused by the conversion of the Roman Empire to Christianity, which did not require incense in the same quantities for its rituals. Also, it became difficult to find local labour to collect the resin.[13] Climatic changes led to desiccation of the area, and sea transport became a more reliable way of transporting goods."

Odd of you to give credit to the romans

Arabs are xasiid wlhi. They gave credit to the Romans when Land of Punt was the only geographic source of frankincense. Does this mean that Land of Punt and Iram were somehow related?
