Question

Studies by Gisela Kopp and Nathaniel Dominy have analyzed the DNA of baboons from this place. According (15[1])to the Palermo Stone, a trading expedition to this place procured large quantities of an item called ‘ntiyw (15[1])(“neh-TEE-yoo”). Perahu, (-5[1])the only recorded ruler of this place, (15[1])stands next to his wife Ati, who possibly has elephantiasis, (15[1])in an ancient relief. A serpent from this place relates how his family perished when a star fell to Earth in the (*) “Tale of the Shipwrecked Sailor.” The port of Saww was supposedly the starting point of Amenemhat II’s expedition to this place, which was referred to as Ta Netjer. Fauna taken from this place were planted outside Deir el-Bahri, whose reliefs depict caravans of incense being brought back from it. For 10 points, Hatshepsut traveled (-5[1])to which semi-mythical kingdom possibly on the Horn of Africa? ■END■ (10[2])

ANSWER: Land of Punt [or Pwenet; accept Ta Netjer before mentioned; accept Opone since that is a possible candidate for Punt’s location] (‘ntiyw is believed to be an incense like frankincense.)
