See also Puntland. The Land of Punt, also called "Pwenet" by the ancient Egyptians, at times synonymous with Ta netjer, the 'land of the god' , was a fabled site in eastern Africa and "was the source of many exotic products, such as gold, aromatic resins, African blackwood, ebony, ivory, slaves and wild animals" including monkeys and baboons. All information about Punt has been found from ancient Egyptian records of trade missions to this region.
