| 4342 | Isle of Cerne | Isle of Herne in the gulf of Dakhla? Hanno indicates he navigated 2 days to the South from Larache, 1 day to the East, and that the island has a perimeter of ½ nautical mile, and that it is inside a gulf, about 850 nautical miles from Ceuta. The isle of Herne is inside of the gulf of Dakhla (also called Rio de Oro) which is more than 20 nautical miles long and is located about 1000 nautical miles from Ceuta. The isle of Herne has a perimeter in the order of 1 nautical mile. Despite the approximations, there does not seem to be any other site in this part of the world that corresponds better to Hanon’s description. His journey went on to an unlocated bay called Hesperu Keras (possibly Cape Three Points in Ghana) and to a mountain called Theon Ochema (possibly Mount Cameroon) and to a bay called Notou Keras where he finally turned around back home. |
| 4343 | Notou Keras bay | This bay is where Hanno decided to go back home. This bay was located at 3 sailing days South of a high mountain with fire called Theon Ochema which might be Mount Cameroon. An island with gorillas was located on a lake which was located on an island in this bay: the isle of Mbanié is now a tiny island which might once have been part of Corisco island and its surrounding lagoon, itself located in Corisco bay (Gabon) around 200 nautical miles South of Mount Cameroon. This similarity is obviously hypothetical, but it is plausible … Note that in this area trade winds and currents are North oriented, and therefore quite adverse for navigating further South. Note also that Ptolemy places Notuceras, Notou-Keras on the African East coast (Geogr. 4, 7), and Hesperou Keras on the African West coast (Geogr. 4, 6): this confirms his vision of an African continent roughly limited to the area North of the Equator. |
