An archaeologist discovered bas-reliefs in Luxor that recount how five ships of Pharaoh Hatshepsut—circa 1500 BCE—managed to reach the distant land of Punt. A team, aboard a reconstructed ship, retraces the journey to locate this mythical land and prove that the Egyptians were indeed a seafaring people.
