Hatshepsut was a female pharaoh whose magnificent tomb still stands today. Inside is a mural depicting the departure of a massive trading ship to a land called Punt. A mysterious realm of wealth and prosperity, Punt was long-thought to be nothing more than a myth. But what if it was real? The Egyptians were well known for their ability to navigate the Nile, but is it possible they embarked on longer journeys into the open sea as well? In order to investigate, archeologists and experts work together to construct the same boat depicted in the mural, and put their vessel to the test with a voyage into the Red Sea. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
