The Turin Papyrus Map: The Oldest Surviving African Map Of Topographical Interest From The Ancient world
The Turin Papyrus Map stands as an extraordinary artifact, offering a captivating glimpse into the ancient world through its detailed topographical and geological features.

Torso de DorĆforo
Primera mitad del siglo I d.C.
Basanita de Wadi Hammamat
Altura (113 cm.)
Inventario 1914 no. 308
Antigua colecciĆ³n del Cardenal d'Este. En la Villa Medici de Roma de finales del siglo XVI. En la GalerĆa desde 1783.
La basanita procedente del desierto oriental de Egipto, a pesar de la extraordinaria dureza que la hacĆa extremadamente difĆcil de trabajar, gozĆ³ de cierta fortuna en la estatuaria del primer perĆodo imperial. De hecho, debido a su color bruƱido, esta piedra se prestaba bien para reproducir las cĆ©lebres obras maestras de bronce de la Ć©poca clĆ”sica y con este material se hacĆan estatuas de rara perfecciĆ³n y calidad que, debido a su altĆsimo costo, estaban destinados a la clientela mĆ”s pudiente de la Ć©poca.
El torso florentino, en particular, es considerado unĆ”nimemente como una de las reproducciones mĆ”s cuidadas y fidedignas del DorĆforo de Policleto (segunda mitad del siglo V a. C.), del que restituye con rara sensibilidad la fuerza contenida de las masas musculares y la meticulosa descripciĆ³n anatĆ³mica.

The Land of Punt(Ta netjer, the āland of the godsā)
After the end of the New Kingdom period, Punt became āan unreal and fabulous land of myths and legends.ā
At times, the ancient Egyptians called Punt Ta netjer, meaning āGodās Landā.This referred to the fact that it was among the regions of the Sun God, that is, the regions located in the direction of the sunrise, to the East of Egypt. These eastern regionsā resources included products used in temples, notably incense. Older literature (and current non-mainstream literature) maintained that the label āGodās Landā, when interpreted as āHoly Landā or āLand of the gods/ancestorsā, meant that the ancient Egyptians viewed the Land of Punt as their ancestral homeland. W. M. Flinders Petrie believed that the Dynastic Race came from or through Punt and E. A. Wallis Budge stated that āEgyptian tradition of the Dynastic Period held that the aboriginal home of the Egyptians was Puntā¦ā.The term was not only applied to Punt, located southeast of Egypt, but also to regions of Asia east and northeast of Egypt, such as Lebanon, which was the source of wood for temples.
Location
The oldest known expedition to Punt was organized by Pharaoh Sahure of the 5th dynasty (2458-2446 BC). Also around 1950 BC, in the time of King Mentuhotep III, 11th dynasty (2004-1992 BC), an officer named Hennu and three thousand men from the south transported material for building ships through Wadi Hammamat, and to Punt acquiring a number of exotic products including incense, perfume and gum was brought to Egypt. A very famous expedition was for Queen Hatshepsut in the 18th dynasty (1473-1458 BC). It was formed of five ships, each measuring 70 feet long, and with several sails. These accommodated 210 men, including sailors and 30 rowers, and was led by the Nubian general āNehsiā. They departed at Quseir on the Red Sea for what was primarily a trading mission, seeking frankincense and myrrh, and fragrant unguents used for cosmetics and in religious ceremonies. However, they also brought back exotic animals and plants, ivory, silver and gold. A report of this voyage is left behind as temple reliefs in Deir el-Bahri, Egypt (see reliefs below). The reliefs shows the departure of the expedition, its arrival at the mysterious land, the landing of the ships with the gifts by the Puntine leader to Hatshepsut, and the preparations for the return voyage. The temple reliefs also showed the features of the Puntine people, who were black Africans, as well as another race much resembling Egyptians. Donkeys were depicted as the method of transporting goods, and white dogs guarding the peopleās houses. Birds, monkeys, leopards and hippopotamus are also seen, as well as giraffes which are typical African animals, to live in Punt. The Nubian Nehsi is then shown in front of his tent with a banquet offered to his guests, and observing the gifts presented.
And then there is the story of The Shipwrecked Sailor, 2200 BC which references Punt.
Petrie, W.M. Flinders. The Making of Egypt, London. New York, Sheldon Press; Macmillan, 1939:
Page 77
āSome of the most obvious public works of the 1st dynasty were the carrying on of earlier undertakings. The great historical maces, and the irrigation works, had been developed under the Scorpion king of the Aunu, and both may have originated much earlier. Many vases and bowls bear his name.ā
āOrigins in Elam and Punt. The distinctive character of the 1st dynasty, which separates it from all that went before, is the conquest and union of the whole land of Egypt. It became thus subject to the falcon-bearing tribe of Horus, which was the natural enemy of the Aunu, the Set-bearing tribe. This falcon tribe had certainly originated in Elam, as indicated by the hero and lions on the "Araq knife handleā. They went down the Persian Gulf and settled in the āhorn of Africa.ā There they named the āLand of Punt,ā sacred to later Egyptians as the source of the race. The Pun people founded the island fortress of Ha-fun, which commands the whole of that coast, and hence came the Punic or Phoenic peoples of classical history. Those who went up the Red Sea formed the dynastic invaders of Egypt, entering by the Qocier-Koptos road. Others went on to Syria and founded Tyre, Sidon and Aradus, named after their home islands in the Persian Gulf (Strabo, XVI, iii, 4). This migration formed the basis of the great spread of Puni, by the colonies of Carthage around the Mediterranean, and into the Atlantic on both north and south.āāW.M. Flinders Petrie
The Oxford History of Ancient Egypt, Ian Shaw, p. 317, 2003:
"There is still some debate regarding the precise location of Punt, which was once identified with the region of modern Somalia. A strong argument has now been made for its location in either southern Sudan or the Eritrean region of Ethiopia, where the indigenous plants and animals equate most closely with those depicted in the Egyptian reliefs and paintings.
It used to be assumed (primarily on the basis of the scenes at Deir el-Bahri depicting Hatshepsutās expedition to Punt in the mid-18th Dynasty) that the trading parties travelled by sea from the ports of Quseir or Mersa Gawasis, but it now seems likely that at least some of the Egyptian traders sailed south along the Nile and then took an overland route to Punt, perhaps making contact with the Puntites in the vicinity of Kurgus, at the fifth cataract.
The Deir el-Bahri scenes include depictions of the unusual Puntite settlements, comprising conical reed-built huts set on poles above the ground, and entered via ladders. Among the surrounding vegetation are palms and myrrh trees, some of the latter already in the process of being hacked apart in order to extract the myrrh. The scenes also show myrrh trees being loaded onto the ships so that the Egyptians could produce their own aromatics from them (and it has been argued that this in itself may be an argument for the combined Nile-overland route from Punt to Egypt, given the fact that such plants might well have died during the more difficult voyage northwards along the Red Sea coast). These myrrh trees might even have been replanted in the temple at Deir el-Bahri itself, judging from the surviving traces of tree pits there.ā
The oldest known expedition to Punt was organized by Pharaoh Sahure of the 5th dynasty (2458-2446 BC). Also around 1950 BC, in the time of King Mentuhotep III, 11th dynasty (2004-1992 BC), an officer named Hennu and three thousand men from the south transported material for building ships through Wadi Hammamat, and to Punt acquiring a number of exotic products including incense, perfume and gum was brought to Egypt.

There is still some debate regarding the precise location of the mythical land of Punt:
Breasted, James Henry, Ph.D., Ancient Records of Egypt, Historical Documents, Vol. II, 1906:
Pages 102-104
āThese are undoubtedly the most interesting series of reliefās in Egypt, and form almost our only early source of information for the land of Punt. They are as beautiful in execution as they are important in content. They record an important expedition of the queen thither, which was successfully concluded just before her ninth year.ā
āThe only earlier evidences of intercourse with Punt are as follows: In the Fourth Dynasty a Puntite negro appears as the slave of one of the sons of King Khufu, in the Fifth, King Sahure sent an expedition thither, and King Isesi sent another, which brought back a dancing dwarf; in the Sixth, an officer of Pepi II, named Enenkhet, was killed by the Sand-dwellers on the coast, while building a ship for the Punt voyage, and another expedition thither under the the same king was led by assistant treasurer, Thethy; in the Eleventh Dynasty, Henu, chief treasurer of King Senekhkere-Mentuhoptep III, dispatched an expedition to Punt, which he accompanied only to the coast of the Red Sea; in the Twelfth Dynasty, an officer of Amenemhet II, named Khentkhetwer, records his safe return from Punt; and finally there was also an expedition under Sesostris II.ā
āThe question of the location of Punt is too large for discussion here, but is was certainly in Africa, and probably was the Somali coast.ā
āHistorically, it is important to note that Thutmose III appears only once in the Punt reliefs, and that in a subordinate position, so that, as far as this source is concerned, the queen is the author of the expedition, which she undertakes in accordance with an oracle of Amonā.
Page 117
Punt under the Queen
āBut I will cause thy army to tread them, I have led them on water and on land, to explore the waters of inaccessible channels, and I have reached the Myrrh-terraces. It is a glorious region of Godās-Land; it is indeed my place of delight. I have made it for myself, in order to divert my heart, together with Mut, Hathor, Wereret (Isis), mistress of Punt, the mistress, āGreat in Sorceryā, mistress of all gods. They took myrrh as they wished, they loaded the vessels to their heartsā content, with fresh myrrh trees, every good gift of this country, Puntites whom the people know not, Southerns of Godās-Land. I conciliated them by love that they might give to thee praise, because thou art a god, because of thy fame in the countries. I know them, I am their wise lord, I am the begetter, Amon-Re; my daughter, who binds the lords, is the king [Makere] (Hatshepsut). I have begotten her for myself. I am thy father, who sets thy fear among the Nine Bows, while they come in peace to all gods. They have brought all the marvels, every beautiful thing of Godās-Land, for which thy majesty sent them: heaps of gum of myrrh, and enduring trees bearing fresh myrrh, united in the festival-hall, to be seen of the lord of the gods. May thy majesty cause them to grow. My temple, in order to delight my heart among them. My name is before the gods, thy name is before all the living, forever. Heaven and earth are flooded with incense; odors are in the Great House. Mayest thou offer them to me, pure and cleansed, in order to express the ointment for the divine limbs, to offer myrrh, to make ointment, to make festive my statue with necklaces, while I am making libations for thee. My heart is glad because of seeing thee.āāJames Henry Breasted

Hāai
ABOUT FIVE OR SIX YEARS AGO
I was back home on a family visit. Summers in New York get suffocating, so I got into the habit of spending most of them in Palestine.
One early morning, while I was in a state between sleeping and waking - later I would learn that this phenomena has been scientifically termed āhypnopompic stateā - I saw him standing on the edge of my bed: a tiny little boy of 4 or 5 years old, about 10 CM long (a little over 4 inches) with wavy brown curls and big brown eyes! He seemed to be looking at me as if in a state of wonder, and his eyes kept getting larger and larger. Expressionless really, but not unfriendly. The dream must have continued for a few seconds before I woke up with a very agreeable feeling. However, not intrigued enough, I rushed to a lazy conclusion that it was most likely my appreciation for "The Little Prince" by Antoine de Saint-ExupĆ©ry that unconsciously concocted this whole surrealistic vision. So I brushed it off and went about my day.
FAST FORWARD FOUR OR FIVE YEARS (During which I didnāt give the vision any serious thoughts) Ā
Excerpts from my diary: August, Summer of 2022 The city of Hammamat, Tunisia
Entry 1. 8/1: I arrived at the studio today. There were a group of men standing at the entrance. I didnāt recognize any of them except the line producer whom I recognized from his profile photo on whatsapp. The strangest thing happened! Upon seeing me entering, he said, "here comes the spy". Huh? If that was a joke, it was shockingly bizarre. And if it wasnāt, I am very confused.
I was supposed to have a fitting at 4pm. I waited in a dusty fitting room smelling a mixture of mole and sewage. The fitting ladies have left their lunch boxes uncovered so flies were swarming everywhere. The costume designer didnāt show up. Neither did her associates. I left.
Entry 2. 8/2: I had my first session with the sword trainer this morning. He didnāt speak a word of English or Arabic. Ā He only spoke Spanish and had a cigarette in his mouth the entire time. The session, according to the training schedule, was supposed to be a full hour solely with me. Instead, we mimed our way through for 15 minutes with the presence of another actor, a young kid of 16 or 17 who kept his sunglasses all the time and barely said hi.Ā I am supposed to start shooting in a week or so.
Entry 3. 8/3: I had a fitting today and I like the costumes. They look good on me. I bumped into the director today. We exchanged hello and I expressed my enthusiasm, an interaction of 7 seconds in total. Weather is unbearably hot.
Entry 4. 8/4: Line producer called me yesterday at 10pm. I was in bed. He mumbled something about the horse trainer sending a report against me, saying I canāt ride a horse! Huh? What horse trainer? I havenāt seen him! He must have mistaken me with someone else. He said no, he sent him my picture! I said I have shot an entire movie for 3 months and a half riding a horse, having had trained intensively for 7 months prior to that. What is he talking about? Line producer kept making this weird sound: haām hāam. What the hell was that? Was he actually listening to me? I think he is either clinically retarded or has serious concentration issues. Where am I? Who are these people?
Entry 5. 8/5: Over breakfast, I met one of the actors on the show. He said, "the staff of the hotel love youā¦ those are the people that count - the real people - Don't mind what others say." What others say!!!! What did he mean by that! I wish he didn't say that because now I will be walking and looking behind my back!
Entry 6. 8/6: this production is a disaster. I have to get things done, and do my work to the best of my abilities despite of this chaos. Ā These are things that are way beyond my control. I am not responsible for teaching people how to follow a protocol. Or how to be decent human beings.
Entry 7. 8/7: We haven't had any rehearsal or meeting with the director yet. They told me he doesn't want to rehearse or meet! How strange! I see him at the gym from time to time. He is on his phone the entire time. We exchange hellos! He actually knows I'm one of the main actors of his show, the one he is supposed to direct, but he doesn't seem very interested in meeting me. What is going on? Who IS this guy?
Entry 8. 8/8: I canāt have this food anymore. I am going to get sick. From now on my dinner will be my lunch.
Entry 9. 8/9: colleagues who were friendly to me are now cold. Barely saying hi. I am so confused. Ā Why is this happening to me? Ā What is happening? Ā I miss Cynthia. Ā
Entry 10. 8/10: They cancelled my shooting days again. I can't take it anymore.
Entry 11. 8/11: I miss Cynthia so much. Ā
Entry 12. 8/12: First day of shoot was supposed to happen today. I waited 8 hours on set today at the end of which the 3rd AD came and said I can go home because we are not shooting.
I want to quit this show.
Entry 13. 8/13: At breakfast one of the actors told me the main actor left the show, and they are restarting everything. I am shocked.
I Ā called my father, told him what happened and said āI want to leave this showā . He said no I should stick around. Itāll be good for my career and I have to do my work professionally. Ā He seemed preoccupied so I let him go. Ā My anxiety is sky rocketing.
Entry 14. 8/14: shootās been delayed for another 5 days. Ā Itās been two weeks and I canāt stand it. It is grueling. Ā But I am here for work and I am a professional actor. Ā Repeat after me Adam: Itās going to be okay.
Entry 15. 8/15: first shooting day. Director doesnāt show up to set? Ā How is that possible? Ā
Entry 16. 8/16: I need to pick up my colors again. Ā Either that or I seriously get sick here.
AND I DID
I had watched a course on Domestika where the artist suggests the idea of writing down one's needs at the moment in time prior to creating a painting. So I followed his suggestion! The first thought I wrote was āI need a friendā. Then as I began to put my thoughts onto the paper, sketching out each detail and curve, something magical started to happen. The lines and shapes effortlessly took on a life of their own, gradually forming into the image of a little boy. And then, as I looked at the finished drawing, it hit me like a bolt of lightning - this was the same child who had appeared in my dream years ago! He was there all along! He never left my subconscious! All I had to do was bring him to the surface. With every stroke of my pencil, I felt as though I was breathing life into this new friend, watching him come alive on the page before me. Ā
Upon finishing up the first sketch I caught myself uttering the word āKhāaiā ā¦ itās a sound that Lebanese people use to express a feeling of relief or releaseā¦ My wife uses it often. Holding the pen, I looked at the character and said he is Hāai with an H sound, not a KH.
Hāai is an Arabic word which means alive, thriving, breathing or animated.
I did end up leaving the show, or āforced to leaveā,Ā but thanks to Hāai, I was able to keep my peace and sanity through that awful time! Creating tens and tens of sketches and drawings that continue to this day! Hāai became not only a friend but a guide, a channel through which I connect to the Source of all things - the omnipresent - from which I draw upon images of beauty and wisdom. Drawing Hāai has become one of my most spiritual practices, akin to a meditation... a sacred ritual, healing, and divine.Ā
Darkness IS the absence of Light. But the concept of light cannot exist without its opposite. So yes, it goes without saying,Ā I am forever grateful for the darkness that allowed Hāai to be manifested. To emerge as a beacon of Lightā¦Ā
P.s visit my art page on Instagram: @adammbakriart to meet Hāai (:

The Wadi Hammamat, (Valley of Many Bathsā), one of numerous wadis or dry valleys in theĀ Eastern DesertāsĀ rocky highlands, serves as the center stretch of one of the most important routes between the Nile and the Red Sea.
The Wadi Hammamat is located halfway between the Nile and the Red Sea, approximately 60 kilometers from either Quft (ancient Coptos) on the Nile or Quseir (near ancient Myos Hormos). The Hammamat road is one of the shortest Nile-Red Sea routes, therefore, it has been used for millennia and is now dotted with ancient ruins and resting sites, as well as hundreds of rock inscriptions or graffiti. In addition, considerable mining and quarrying have taken place in or near Wadi Hammamat.
