At times Punt is referred to as Ta netjer, the "land of the god". The exact location of Punt is still debated by historians. Most scholars today believe Punt was located to the southeast of Egypt, most likely in the coastal region of what is today the Horn of Africa. During the Ptolemaic Dynasty and Roman Egypt, this civilization became known as Aksum or Ethiopia. It was the last of the three civilizations of the Nile to fall, after it destroyed its neighboring culture, Nubia, with the sack of Meroƫ in AD 350.
