BBC 征服海洋的女法老

据传说，3000多年前，埃及王后哈特谢普苏特（埃及的第一位女法老）派遣一支船队前往一个名叫Punt的地方，并从这个遥远而富饶的地方带来了可观的宝藏。今天，人们不禁怀疑，这次海上冒险确有其事吗？如果确有其事，那么Punt之地又身在何处？
　　考古学家Cheryl Ward结合最新考古发现，原尺寸地复制了一艘古埃及古船，去寻找神秘的Punt。这次科学冒险证明，古埃及人的确拥有必要的工具和科学技术来远渡重洋。（文: life_is_good@YDY）
　　Over three thousand years ago, legend has it that Queen Hatshepsut, Egypt's first female pharaoh, sent a fleet of ships to the wonderful, distant land of Punt. A bas-relief in the temple where she is entombed in Luxor shows them bringing back extraordinary treasures. But did this expedition really happen? And if it did, where exactly is the land of Punt?
　　Drawing upon recent finds, the archaeologist Cheryl Ward sets out to recreate the voyage, in a full-size replica of one of these ancient ships, sailing it in the wake of Hatshepsut's fleet, in search of the mythical land of Punt. A human adventure as well as a scientific challenge, the expedition proves that, contrary to popular belief, the ancient Egyptians had the necessary tools, science and techniques to sail the seas.
