One of the explorers told the Malta Independent:
“It turns out that the script we found states the name of the region where it was carved, which is none other than the fabled land of Yam, one of the most famous and mysterious nations that the Egyptians had traded with in Old Kingdom times; a source of precious tropical woods and ivory.
“Its location has been debated by Egyptologists for over 150 years but it was never imagined it could be 700 kilometers west of the Nile in the middle of the Sahara Desert.”
