Sanctuary Sun Boat IV at dockside in Aswan
Cheops Solar Boat from 24 BC – the boat of the sun-god that was discovered in a pit near the Pyramids at Giza, and reassembled in the mid-1950’s. The voyage of the sun-god through creation was usually portrayed as a boat journey–as if air were the Nile river. In the sunrise, ancient Egyptians saw their own resurrection after death.
