The Egyptians got acquainted with new lands during conquest campaigns and expeditions. The most famous was the Red Sea expedition to Punt (the eastern tip of Africa), equipped by Queen Hatshepsut (circa 1493 BC). The Egyptians traveled along the Mediterranean Sea to the island of Crete, and across the Atlantic on papyrus boats, possibly to the shores of America. Sailors from India reached the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea, traveled across the vastness of the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
