Les vaisseaux de la reine Hatchepsout, et leurs dimensions, et la navigation en mer Rouge vers le pays de Pount.

The vessels of queen Hatshepsut, and their dimensions, and navigation in the Red Sea towards the country of Pount.

Ce travail examine l’organisation des scènes pountites d’Hatchepsout à Deir el-Bahari, à partir de trois hypothèses de localisation de Pount : côte arabique de la mer Rouge, côte africaine et Soudan nilotique. Seule l’hypothèse arabique permet de reconstituer la logique de ce programme décoratif et de mettre en relief sa simplicité, sa logique et sa grande cohérence.

This work examines the organization of Hatshepsut’s puntite scenes at Dayr al-Bahri, based on three hypotheses for the location of Punt: the Arabian coast of the Red Sea, the African coast and the Nilotic Sudan. Only the Arabian hypothesis makes it possible to reconstruct the logic of this decorative programme and to highlight its simplicity, its logic and its great coherence.
