In Egypt they teach in their schools that land of punt is Somalia.Everyone says different, some says Eritrea or Sudan, were others says Ethiopia. I think the land of punt it's located somewhere northeastern Somalia but it needs more research. Allah knows the best.
I think the puntite split different continect after earthquake plus floods erupted some remain in horn of Africa were other go'doon in India inuding Sacotra. I believe india and Somalia were same country before earthquake and floods. Look the map and see what I mean.
Nope Khoisan people are not punt people not genetic or physical resemblanceCanuck,
The Somalis are part of the migration that came out of the Sahara as it dried up. E1b1b is spread clear across north Africa and into the Mediterranean basin. Yes, Somalis are related to the ancient Egyptians, but American President Lyndon Baines Johnson, Albert Einstein, and Adolf Hitler were also E1b1b.
The eastern Cushitic migration crossed the Nile. The Somali portion made it into the southern Ethiopian highlands and then followed the rivers down to the plains. We know the Rahanweyn followed the Juba out of the highlands and the Hawiye followed the Shabelli out of the southern Ogaden.
The Madhibaan and Midgan were among the indigenous people the Somalis displaced when they arrived.
Hatshepsut was born in 1508 BC. The earliest of the folks that became the Somalis didn't arrive at the Red Sea coast until the first century AD, so the people of Punt were not Somali. They were a native Khoisan group.

@Canuck,
E1b1b is pretty old. Something like 35,000 years old.
The more recent branch E-M78 and V12 is believed to have originated between Libya and Southern Egypt with very little doubt.
E-M78* is found in Sardinia, E-V65* concentrated in Libya, and E-V12* is concentrated in Southern Egypt. This is why researchers think that Cushites migrated from Southern Egypt to the Horn around 8,000 years ago.

Haplogroup E1b1b (formerly known as E3b) represents the last major direct migration from Africa into Europe. It is believed to have first appeared in the Horn of Africa approximately 26,000 years ago and dispersed to North Africa and the Near East during the late Paleolithic and Mesolithic periods. E1b1b lineages are closely linked to the diffusion of Afroasiatic languages.No credible, recent study, places the origin of E-M78 in the Horn.

At end of day they are Somali which is more importantCanuck,
Ever seen an Eyle?
The Cushitic invasions are documented for this site, and they weren't that long ago. The Eyle were more fortunate than other indigenous groups, which include the Madhibaan and Midgan.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buur_Heybe
"Buur Heybe historically served as a key religious and political hub.[2] According to oral tradition in the Doi ("red soil") belt, several dynasties were based in the town.[2][5] The Eyle aver that the area was at various times invaded and occupied by a succession of early Cushitic settlers, the Jidle, Maadanle and Ajuran, whom they each managed to defeat. A number of ancient burial sites dated from this pre-Islamic period sit atop the mountain's peak, and are a center of annual pilgrimage (siyaro). A trench near the holy places is said to serve as a passage toward heaven (siraad), and as such is off-limits to individuals possessing a nefarious past. These burial sites on the mountain's summit were later made into Muslim holy sites in the ensuing Islamic period, including the Owol Qaasing (derived from the Arabic "Abdul Qaasim", one of the names of Prophet Muhammad) and Sheikh Abdulqadir al-Jilaani (named for the founder of the Qadiriyya order).[2]
Additionally, the area is a center of pottery production. The Bur Ecological and Archaeological Project, established in 1983, uncovered hundreds of sherds from the site and other rock shelters. Oral tradition suggests that the Eyle were the first people to make pottery in Buur Heybe.[2]
Demographics
Buur Heybe is today primarily inhabited by the Eyle, an ethnic minority community of agropastoralists, potters and part-time hunters. Their ethnonym translates as the "hunters with dogs".[2] The Eyle are believed to be remnants of the aboriginal Khoisan hunter-gatherers who inhabited southern Somalia prior to the arrival from the north of Afro-Asiatic populations of the Cushitic branch.[6] Buur Heybe is consequently also known as Buur Eyle ("Eyle mountain"), in recognition of the first inhabitants in the surrounding villages of Howaal Dheri, Berdaale and Muuney.[2]"
