For thousands of years, Egypt had a major trading partner known as Punt. Although the significance of Punt as a source of gold, ivory, and exotic timbers was well recorded, its exact location has been a mystery. Now that may have been solved, thanks to some mummified baboons. Egyptian records show a major trading expedition to Punt 4,500 years ago, and it appears gold had made its way between the kingdoms even earlier. Expeditions to Punt were celebrated in Egyptian art over thousands of years and form the basis of one of the oldest surviving hero's journey tales. The route there, however, is unknown, and historians have debated whether Punt lay in the Horn of Africa, Arabia, modern Sudan, or some mixture of all three. This uncertainty has not prevented part of modern Somalia from adopting the name Puntland.
