It's not Somalia but Somaliland and 95% of Frankincense and Myrrh harvesters and traders are Isaaq. It's our culture. Small neighboring clans like Magaadle and others have taken up our trade/culture hence the remaining 5%.

Lol, taking a quote from an advertising website as if they're stating the truth.

The Frankincense forests are found in western Sanaag and north eastern Togdheer because of the limestone soil type. It's the second largest source of revenue for the SL government after livestock and the documentary was filmed in western Sanaag, the researcher is being assisted by representatives from the SL government.

The exact location of Punt is still debated by historians. Most scholars today believe Punt was situated to the southeast of Egypt, most likely in the coastal region of modern Djibouti, Eritrea, northeast Ethiopia, Somalia, and the Red Sea littoral of Sudan. However, some scholars point instead to a range of ancient inscriptions that locate Punt in the Arabian Peninsula. It is also possible that the territory covered both the Horn of Africa and Southern Arabia. Puntland, the Somali administrative region situated at the extremity of the Horn of Africa, is named in reference to the Land of Punt.

That fake map is so ridiculous. Let's ignore the fact that this map was created with the computer program paint, frankincense producing trees do not grow in Socotra. Yemen and Oman have long been excluded as possible locations of Punt because of the exotic African fauna such as Giraffes, black rhinos etc. that were among the gifts from Punt.

Punt in its proper sense was Eritrea, northeastern Ethiopia and Somaliland. The high grade incense found in the graves of the ancient pharaohs have been identitified as Boswellia Frerereana also known as Maydi (the etymology comes from the city of Maydh). Maydi is the only Boswellia tree that grows in close proximity to the sea which is what the Ancient Egyptians described in their hieroglyphs from their voyage to Punt.

I know what you're trying to do Arabman but let's be frank, the Pharaohs were not fond of the Semitic Asiatics or desert dwellers as they also called them.

The people who lived in Punt were most likely speakers of proto lowland east Cushitic, in other words the ancestors of modern day Saho, Afar and Somali.
