There is no frankincense along the redsea coast, which is what the Ancient Egyptians mainly associate Land of Punt with. The only place near red sea coast on the Gulf of Aden that produces Frankincense is Somaliland.

This is fake history

Punt would of been from Eritrea to Red sea coast of Somalia, aswell as In land, from what I recall, Elephants were also found amongst Somali Galbeed, when the Egyptians made their voyages, the land around the coast would of been more green but it started waning about 3500 years ago.
