Some years ago an article by Egyptologist David Lorton entitled “Hatshepsut, the Queen of Sheba, and Immanuel Velikovsky” appeared on the internet. During the past decade this essay has had wide circulation and has been instrumental in “warning off” many of the public with regard to Velikovsky and his work. In the essay, Lorton purports to show that Velikovsky’s equation of Hatshepsut with the Queen of Sheba could not be correct. This is done primarily by a sustained criticism of the notion that Punt, which was the destination of a famous expedition launched by Hatshepsut, could not possibly be the land of Israel, as Velikovsky had claimed. Lorton proves his point primarily by: (a) An examination of the flora and fauna of Punt, which he maintains shows beyond question that Punt was in Africa; and (b) By an examination of the famous Karnak Lists – a bas-relief at Thebes on which Hatshepsut’s successor Thutmose III records the lands he conquered in his first year as sole ruler. These lists, Lorton claims, prove beyond doubt that Punt was a region to the south of Egypt.
