BOOK SUMMARY Sitaad is a genre of religious panegyrics laced with spirituality and a yearning to emulate and fuse with some respected earlier women of Islam - most notably Fatima (the daughter of Prophet Muhammad - Peace and blessings be upon him) and others who lived before the coming of Islam such as Xaawa (Eve).

This book contains convincing evidence and persuasive arguments to cause a stir among historians - Egyptologists in particular - as it will expose archaeological findings excavated in an area that has never been thought to have historical significance.

While the ground-breaking information contained in this book is hoped to bring the long standing argument on the location of the mysterious Land of Punt almost to a close, it will also shed a new light on the race controversy surrounding ancient Egyptians.
