Re: Pharaoh Sahura's expedition to Punt, what are the goods he returns with? What is the definition for antyue, and the source for this line? I couldn't find a definition online. 100.15.131.207 ( talk) 23:28, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

Add to the end of § Horn of Africa some recent genetic research:
In 2023, a primarily German team of researchers published the results of extracting mitochondrial DNA from a mummified baboon. By comparing it with mtDNA extracted from 14 museum specimen baboons from the 19th and 20th centuries with known provenances, they concluded that the mummified baboon came from modern-day Eritrea. [1] As the mummified baboon dates from a period when Egypt was trading with Punt, it may be assumed to come from there, and the authors suggest (but are unable to prove) that Punt is likely to be the same as the later- classical port city of Adulis. [2]
Obviously, feel free to edit the heck out of the wikipedia text if you like; the main point is to add the references to recent relevant research. (E.g. I couldn't figure out a way to add, without making a ridiculously run-on paragraph, that they tried 10 mummified baboons and 21 modern museum specimens, managing to extract usable DNA out of 1 and 14, resp.)

On the fifth paragraph in the section named "Proposed locations", it is written that a specific bird only has a natural habitat in the following African nations: Sudan, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Djibouti, and "Somaliland". However Somaliland is not a recognised nation in the international community, so I request this Wikipedia article reflects this fact and changes the term into Somalia or more accurately "Northern Somalia". To remain intellectually honest and to avoid political activism, such a step is required to be taken. EditorS2002 ( talk) 05:32, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
