PREVIOUS: Chapter II: The Hyksos

In his efforts to prove that the Biblical Queen of Sheba was Queen Hatshepsut of Egypt's 18th Dynasty, even though 500 years separate them in conventional chronology, Velikovsky made use of Hatshepsut's pictorial and inscriptional record of her "Expedition to the Land of Punt".  I have edited the section of Naville's seven-volume publication in which he reproduced the reliefs in 18 plates, and provided a plate-by-plate discussion.  Notable in Velikovsky's use of this material are his reference to an apparently non-existent picture of Hatshepsut herself, and his failure to mention some details reinforcing the "Punt in Africa" scenario rather than his preferred "Punt in Palestine".

Breasted: The Punt Reliefs

Breasted's complete account of the Punt Reliefs: describing the relief pictures and translating the hieroglyphs.  The Preface (still in preparation) compares Velikovsky's evidence for Punt in Israel, and Hatshepsut as the Queen of Sheba, against the actual wording of the text.
