Dancing Pygmies were seen as entertainment for these people pretty cruel when you think about it
It's a wrap brehs. These dancing pygmies seal the deal. Archeology is cac shyt. :Mjwtf:
Hawass and the government of Egypt is some non-biased entity now? @KidStranglehold has Hawass released the STR matches for those mummies yet?
look at King Tut according to them boys yall
Nope and I was thinking about making a thread about that. However, Punt IS heavily agreed to be somewhere in the Horn or the Sudan(near the Horn)/
I know where it is stated to be but I just don't agree given what was written about it nor has anyone come up with a satisfactory explanation
I think you're mixing some things up about the pygmies and Punt. The Ancient Egyptians consider the pgymies and the area of Uganda(mountain of the Moons) their ancestral place. And they took trips to Central Africa. However, Punt is where they traded with and they were considered one of the MANY "Nubians" south of Kemet.I know where it is stated to be but I just don't agree given what was written about it nor has anyone come up with a satisfactory explanation
I've looked at many sources declaratively stating Punt had antimony, iron ore and pygmies....I don't think I'm mixing it up, I think they were one in the same.
I never heard of a source stating Punt had Pymies. Maybe you can show me?
Look up King Pepi and his famed expeditions into Punt.
I got this.
You have said...that you have brought a pygmy of the god's dances from the land of the horizon-dwellers, like the pygmy whom the god's seal-bearer Bawerded brought from Punt in the time of King Isesi. You have said to my majesty that his like has never been brought by anyone who went to Yam previously...Come north to the residence at once! Hurry and bring with you this pygmy whom you brought from the land of the horizon-dwellers live, hail and healthy, for the dances of the god, to gladden the heart, to delight the heart of King Neferkare who lives forever! When he goes down with you into the ship, get worthy men to be around him on deck, least he fall into the water! When he lies down at night, get worthy men to lie around him in his tent. Inspect ten times at night! My majesty desires to see this pygmy more than the gifts of the mine-land and of Punt! When you arrive at the residence and this pygmy is with you live, hale and healthy, my majesty will do great things for you, more than was done for the god's seal-bearer. Bawerded in the time of King Isesi.
I just got off from work and tired ass shyt and so my reading comprehension is off but what am getting is that I see no pygmies being associated with Punt...
It's a wrap folks, a pygmy was brought from Punt. This trumps every other piece of evidence.
TFW baboons, Frankincense and myrrh do not count as evidence but one pygmy does
To the south of Egypt, Djedkare also sent an expedition to the fabled land of Punt[144] to procure the myrrh used as incense in the Egyptian temples.[157] The expedition to Punt is referred to in the letter from Pepi II Neferkare to Harkuf some 100 years later. Harkuf had reported that he would bring back a "dwarf of the god's dancers from the land of the horizon dwellers". Pepi mentions that the god's sealbearer Werdjededkhnum had returned from Punt with a dwarf during the reign of Djedkare Isesi and had been richly rewarded. The decree mentions that "My Majesty will do for you something greater than what was done for the god's sealbearer Werdjededkhnum in the reign of Isesi, reflecting my majesty's yearning to see this dwarf".[158]
aint no way around it
Kermesite or red antimony has been used as early as the Old Kingdom’s 6th Dynasty in ancient Egypt (c. 2345–2181 BCE) in lip cosmetics and in the 18th Dynasty Queen Hatshepsut (Maatkare) (1498–1483 BCE) negotiated with the Land of Punt for its colored antimony deposits. Besides stibnite, which was used for eye liner red, antimony is one of the oldest minerals used in cosmetics. Further archaeological evidence indicates that antimony levels were higher in ancient Egyptian female remains which had exposure to both antimony compounds (Bencze, 1994). Because of its color, the precipitate of kermesite was used as a coloring agent and in alchemy. Because of alchemy’s focus on material transformation as evidenced by color, red antimony was used to produce the red state. Kermesite is the mineral state for Kermes mineral which was used extensively in the medical field for centuries
ill let you figure out which African countries have large deposits of antimony

I've already stated the Horn was part of Punt but Punt is waaaaaay more expansive than just the Horn and is a general term for East Africa and the countries that contain the Nile. I don't believe it was as uniform or organized Kingdom or anything. White supremacist are clearly trying to proximate it near Yemen for their agenda
