On a wall of one of Egypt’s most impressive temples is a depiction of a magnificent trading vessel embarking on a royal expedition to a mysterious, treasure-laden land called Punt. Nova travels to the 3,500-year old temple to investigate whether or not Punt was a myth or a reality. Part of the investigation is the re-creation of the vessel in the carving so that it can be launched into the Red Sea to determine if the Egyptians had mastered the art of long sea voyage.
