3300 Year Old Baboon Skull Might Be Evidence Of Mysterious Ancient Kingdom
The fabled land known to ancient Egyptians as Punt maybe evidenced by this baboon skull. It was said to be a land of great wealth and plenty. Its uncertain where exactly Punt was located, but archeologists think it was located in Eritrea, Ethiopia, and northwest Somalia based on the baboon teeth they examined. Still its uncertain, but they may have found the first treasure from this land of ancient times. Products from this ancient land are written about in Egyptian hieroglyphs. Back then if you traveled to this land and returned with Gold, frankincense, myrrh, resins, hardwood, or exotic animals (like a baboon) you would be considered very wealthy. Its interesting how much the world has changed since then.
