Punt — The Voyage on the Wall

بونت — الرحلة على الجدار

Hatshepsut's expedition to Punt through a child's eyes.

A boy stows away with his father on the expedition around 1470 BCE, crossing the desert to the Red Sea and sailing south. His story is invented; the voyage is the one carved on the walls at Deir el-Bahari.
