Why did the Ancient Egyptians after the expedition to the Land of Punt, not return and completely conquer the region? They did with Nubia that was the land of Gold, said region of Punt had incense etc.

Why would they have been comfortable with having to simply trade i.e. paying for said luxuries rather simply owning controlling the region as was done in Nubia?

Thank you!

The northeast is pretty small. That’s like a 4-5hr drive.

This definitely sounds like it came from the new Ice Age movie script.

> located about 250 miles (400 km) to the southeast of Formby

That's almost like Boston to NYC.

And yeah I guess some folks would describe that as nearby in the US.

Yeah I did look. Pleasantly surprised!

Sounds perfect for what I'm looking for!!! Thank you

Thanks for sharing. I think it would be cool if we took the new tech and traced what is under our feet for every bit of land we can. So many secrets are buried.

Anthropologists might be able to help with that. I hear good thing about the the ones from Collegeville, Indiana.

8500 years isn’t long enough for fossils to form is it? Are these tracks in danger of being exposed too elements and erosion?

This made me happy…your words. The whole article did as well. We are an amazing, varied, versatile and prolific bunch. It’s very often difficult to see any beauty in our species or existence. I cherish when I actually can.

Yer of course they were..the time frame for humans has been pushed back a few times..

That makes a lot more sense. Thank you!

Probably missing two zeros for 5000BC which is around the time of the copper age.

Thanks, I just subscribed!

Stefan Milo is also great :)

Well what if aliens do exist and they’ve been recording us like National Geographic. Imagine having a real picture or video clips of Ancient Rome. Or watch our first ancestors come out of the trees

Tides of History is a wonderful podcast that has many episodes dedicated to pre-history. It's worth checking out if you have a passing interest in the topic. Patrick does a great job of reaching listeners with no background in the topic, so no fear if you aren't a history scholar.

Super informative, thanks!

Big ol' dish.

And a heads-up on the possibilities of the information super highway

Thanks!

It is said the Harfoots crossed the Baranduin some time in the middle of the Third Age, some 5,000 years ago.
