Land of Punt

Yeah I'm trying to sift throught the evidence but having some difficulty. Scholars go back and forth on its specific location. For example I found some texts that say its in Ethiopia and Eritrea but nothing about Somalia.

It's a continuous debate , up until recently they was including Arabia other countries as possible location but Baboon specimens ruled them out. The baboon specimens match what is found in Eritrea and Somalia

Their Eastern Sudan and Eritrea arguments rest on proximity. Also the idea of it being a centralized kingdom which it wasn't , it was a decentralized trading emporium and it's described as such by the Egyptians.

And Ancient Egyptians made it clear they were reaching out to a more far southern place and getting sometime shipwrecked there.
