Author's Description:

The Expedition to the Land of Punt by Stringbags

In 1463BC. Queen Hapshetsut sent a naval expedition to find the fabled Land of Punt (translates to The Land of God) that was inhabited by dark-skinned peoples who lived in conical roofed dwellings raised on stilts and reached by ladders and ruled by King Parakhu and Queen Aty.

It was said that this land lies far to the south on the farthest shores of the Great Green (the Red Sea in modern times).

Here ,it was said, grew the mythical aromatic woods called Tyshepses and Khesyt and the green gold of Amu and where spices and incense were abundant; where babboons and dogs and panthers provide skins and where the precious Antyu tree and Myrrh tree grows that will be needed for the gardens of the temple to Amun that you will build.

In return for these great gifts King Parakhu will require ships full of meat and wheat to make bread and beer and figs to present the great feast in honour of their Egyptian comrades.

Start in 1473BC.

One temple to Amun (Mausaleum) with grave goods of 50 weapons; 50 chariots of Anytu; 3100 trees of Myrrh, 5000 cases of incense and antimony and 5000 sheaths of papyrus to tell the tale of the great expedition to the Land of Punt.

Note:

Punt is not available in the map editor so I have used Pi-Yer instead; for Pi-Yer read Punt.
