re punt boats , the real images and the artists impressions

[kangarooistan]

re punt boats , the real images and the artists impressions often get
used as evidence when researchers go looking for the land of punt ,
they are clearly very different in regards to fine detail added as
interpreted by several artists over time .
this seems possibly the first and possibly only copy made of a scene
in early 1850s by a french man , he claims the wall scene was
vandalized and destroyed shortly after he made his copy, and all his
original art work was all destroyed in a flood a few years later ,
his work is often quoted as being '' proof '' of certain facts when
IMHO , it is really an '' artists impression'' re created in the
artists mind , not from a scene he copied directly off the walls

.
several other similar line drawings exist , and try and reflect punt
boats , as seen or imagined by several artists , for inclusion in
books that are now used as evidence in the search for the land of punt

the artists impressions may not be reliable in regard to the fine
details
