« Again the representations of the early Puntites, or Somali people, on the Egyptian monuments, show striking resemblances to the Egyptians themselves. » By Brian Brown New York: Brentano's[1923]/ We can understand theses Similarities through their ancestral history :
According to the historian Richard Pankhurst :"The Egyptians sometimes called Punt land Ta-Netjeru, meaning "Land of the Gods," and considered it their place of origin ." (Richard Pankhurst, The Ethiopian Borderlands:1997)
" According to the Ancient Egyptians themselves , the egyptians came from the Land of Punt, the land of gods,ancestors and even , Queen Hatshepsout of Egypt (15th century B-C) said that Hathor The mistress of Punt ,her mother was from the land of Punt ,from "Buun" the ancient name of Somalia ! To conclude ,"Buun" means in Somali "Horn" and the Land of "Buun" (or Punt in european language) is located in the the Horn of Africa, in the Somali territories, " by Abdisalam Mahamoud . Master II degree: History of Civilisations and Religions.
According to Pliny, the Port of Isis was a center for myrrh commerce. He likewise noted that the Egyptian Pharaoh Sesostris led his forces passed the region en route to the northeastern port of Mosylon, a cinnamon hub that is believed to have been in or close to present-day Bosaso.Additionally, Pliny indicated that the Port of Isis was located near stone pillars on which unknown letters were engraved.Samuel Sharpe suggests that these old inscriptions were probably hieroglyphical.
perfect men" in their language and the Somali People use still now this name "Rageedii" with the same ancient-egyptian meaning "The perfect men". For example in somali language : " U dadaal sidii Rageedii"= Make efforts as Rageedii ,the perfect men.
Here, Some historical and linguistic proofs :
The Famous French Egyptologist Christiane D.Noblecourt , in her book "Hatshepsout ,the Mysterious Queen" detailed the expedition of Queen Hatshepsut to the Land of Punt and she said that the Ancient-Egyptians and The Puntites used to speak and communicate with the same language./
« Again the representations of the early Puntites, or Somali people, on the Egyptian monuments, show striking resemblances to the Egyptians themselves. » By Brian Brown New York: Brentano's[1923]/
In “The Making of Egypt” (1939). Petrie states that the Land of Punt was “sacred to the Egyptians as the source of their race"/

This last historical fact can explain why the somali language is a survived ancient-egyptian language ,according to the british linguist : "The language of ancient Egypt belonged to the Hamitic group; Surviving Hamitic languages are spoken across a large part of North Africa and include Somali." (The english language ,A Historical Introduction," by Charles Barber,british linguist .)
All the symbolical ancient-egyptian names : "Horakhty, Aton, Horus, Isis, Nebhet ,Hâpy etc... " were preserved in Somali language and still now , the somali people use these names with their original egyptian-puntite pronounciation . For example : "Oraxthy" means" the sun" in Somali as the ancient-egyptians. "AAR" means "lion" in ancient-egyptian and also in somali . There is a huge somali-egyptian linguistic and historical and cultural proofs .

Talk about coming at me with an arsenal lol, I've read those numerous times in nearly every YouTube video but I'm also not denying any of those points you've made other than the fact that most scientific and documented facts point towards the coasts of the Horn. YET STILL I insist that Punt was the coastal regions of East Sudan all the way down to North Somalia because looking at facts, cultures, traditions, languages and even us Horn Of Africans physically and comparing us to the drawings in Egypt, come on we're all very similar, and all points TO THIS.
But to answer your points;
1) The round wooden homes are constructed by the women in nomadic families (well at least with us they do), they are found throughout the countrysides in Beja, Saho and Afar lands not only in Somalia. Or do I have to show you videos?
2) Those ancient rods that you posted in ancient times were carried by elders and priests, today they're carried by imams and elders too, you can even find Saho and Afar videos were they're walking and carrying them, some even dancing with it, and a stick called 'bilbil' that the Egyptians in paintings are seen holding, they are used till today by nomads for hunting birds and fowls. They're usually carried by herdsmen though.
3) You've answered that point yourself, "modern coastal Eritrea, Somalia and Djibouti. In the making of Egypt".
But if you want me to give you more facts no props, you quote Richard Pankhurst come on man lol, yet in the same book where you got your quote
from he mentions Eritrea and gives more evidence;
i) "It may further be urged that the northernmost area, what is now the Eritrean coast, probably constituted the most frequently visited African section of Punt. The area's northerly location, and consequent relative proximity to Egypt, would have given its trade a significant edge over that of more distant areas, such as the Somali country." The Ethiopian borderlands, By Richard Pankhurst, p.4. - Your quotation is from the same book.
More historians.
ii)"Most of present day Eritrea was comprised of the ancient Kingdom of Punt, whose rulers dominated the area for a thousand years until about 1,000 B.C. (see, for instance, Longrigg 1945:11). In this respect, this particular area has one of Sub-Saharan Africa's oldest traditions of state-formations."— professor Kjetil Tronvoll Mai Weini, a highland village in Eritrea, By Kjetil Tronvoll, 1996.
iii)"At agordat in the middle Barka valley (Eritrea), an Egyptian-style, ceramic ear-plug and some stone celts which imitate bronze prototypes of the 17th-18th Dynasties have been excavated in sites dating to the mid-second millennium BC. On the Eritrean coast at Adulis, two fragments of glass vessels typical of the New Kingdom have been found in a level dating to the late second millennium BC." Encyclopedia of the archaeology of ancient Egypt By Kathryn A. Bard, Steven Blake Shubert, p.637.
By the way Eritrea hasn't even been excavated fully and all the evidence clearly shows. I'm sure you've read the scientific tests that were done in 2010 on the mummified baboons collected from Ancient Egypt that were not matched with those collected from Somalia or Yemen, but they matched the baboons in Eritrea and East Ethiopia. Again though, I still believe Punt was all the coast of the Horn from East Sudan up to North Somalia, because they've even found artefacts in Somalia too.
You see if you read Eritrean history you will find that the port of Adulis, called Adu Lai in ancient times is a very ancient port in the city of Massawa, East Eritrea that was owned by the natives Afar and Saho (who are a subgroup of Afar btw) they traded all those resources mentioned with Punt into Egypt, Greece, Arabia too, and this is way before Axum even existed lol. The gold and other precious stones that was collected from Punt is what you'd call today the Bisha Mines that is now controlled by the current government. Funny enough the Bisha Mine centre is in the same place (Agordat) where they found some Egyptian artefacts (the celts, the tools to cut stones and rocks) that was traced back all the way to the 17th and 18th Dynasty. Coincidence???
There is a reason why all Afar lands are being taken slowly by this brutal dictatorship regime along with the Ethiopian Tigrays and even your Djibouti Somali governments, are all doing the same.
4) The headbands you pointed out lol, come on even the Tigrinyas wear white headbands lol, our Afar brothers wear them, but in red.
The leather cloin that the men wear I'm guessing that is what the Afar wear today but a cotton version, same with Somalis in their traditional dances, if not that then they wear a traditional futa/phuta that many muslim men wear, you know the one that your dad wears in the crib? Yeah that one.
Also Punt yes is known as 'Ta Netjer' but, 'Ta Seti' were referred to the Beja and Afars by the Ancient Egyptians, that's why you see them on the walls throughout Egypt and they still live with their traditional hairstyles and agricultural ways till today. The Bejas who were called in ancient times Medjays, inhabit South East Egypt, East Sudan all the way into West Eritrea, the Afar stretched from central Eritrea all the way into a small section of North Somalia and a large chunk of East Ethiopia but they had their lands taken by everyone around them with the help of foreign governments too.
5) You mentioned the cultural necklace that puntites wear in Somali is called 'Xirsi' right? Well guess what it is called in Saho/Afar... Xirze!
Guidance in Somali translates to Hadiyo you stated? Well in ours, to send or direct we say 'Haddiige'. Pronunciations might be a little tweaked but you will be surprised with the amount of words and numbers that are similar or the same in Saho/Afar too. 90% of Saho and Afar is the same, though it's a different dialect and accent depending which Afars too, and the increase of migrations into the regions has formed both to alter a little over time.
However words like 'Foreign' in Somali is 'ajnabi', the same with us too. 'White' for us is 'cado' you guys say cad. 'Tribe' for us is 'qabiila' you guys say qabiilka. I could go on even with numbers but I'm tired.
The more you read into other cultures and countries around the Horn the quicker you'll realise all Kushites share a common factor and that we all come from PUNT, especially Saho/Afar, Oromo and Somali, hence the exact similarities with culture, languages, history even physically. The problem is with Somalis is (no disrespect) many of you are too stubborn to understand or even want to understand. Peace.
