The mystery of punt deepens.

Guys there were apparently people mining obsidian in the afar triangle in 3400 b.c and shipping it by sea all the way to Egypt.

This wadi hammat was a river that dried up in the last 3 thosuand years.

Just to put that into perspective These dudes were sailing 1500+ miles 5,500 years ago.

This does make me wonder how our ancestors even arrived here. The fact that we have no direct mota or omotic ancestry is incredible when you think about how narrow this route was.

The domestication of the donkey was Avery big deal. When they opened up the tomb of either the very first or second pharaoh. They found thm buried with 10 donkeys. This is just like the horse burials of the steppe nomads who domesticated the horse.

Even the description of wealthy members of early eygpt owing 1000+ donkeys makes no sense unless these guys were actually pastoralists

The anicnet eygptians apparently had a cattle tax that was incredibly important and they counted all the cattle.

This was also the basis of their chronologu since how long a pharaoh ruled was based on how many cattle counts had been done

I've made some more discoveries (specifically connected to somalis) but I'm hesitant about posting about it. Since ive never been a fan of hoteps and ive always thought it was extremely cringe. But if the connections ive discovered are accurate then the basically everything the Somali hoteps were claiming is all true and in fact their claims would be an underestimation of the actual truth.

So im still thinking about it
