[circa 1500 B.C.), it is recorded that the God Amon com- 

 manded the queen to search out the myrrh-terraces of 

 Punt, and that the temple was built as a reproduction in 

 Thebes of these terraces, in which were planted the myrrh 

 trees brought back by the expedition (see Breasted's 

 " History of Egypt," London, 1906, p. 274). If, as most 

 archaeologists now maintain, Punt was not in Southern 

 Arabia, but on the African coast, this record at Deir el 

 Bahari calls for a further addition (S) to Mr. Perry's map, 

 or alternatively, is another argument for those who would 

 locate Punt in Arabia. 



The geographical distribution tells its own story.
