The Solar Boat Museum is located on the south side of the Khufu Pyramid
Inside, a wooden ship is on display
It was for Pharaoh Khufu to ride when ascending to the sky and following the sun god to fly across the sky
It is the relatively complete and spectacular ancient ship unearthed in the world so far
At present, the museum protects it through a constant temperature system and anti-corrosion technology
Entering the museum requires security check
After the security check, you need to put on linen shoe covers to enter
On the first floor of the museum, you can see a small model of the solar boat, allowing you to have a preliminary understanding of the overall structure of the ship
Amazing manufacturing technology
The huge solar boat is 43
5 meters long, 5 meters high at the bow and 7 meters high at the stern
The whole ship is completely without nails
Thousands of parts are combined only by wood and ropes, which is amazing for the manufacturing technology of the ancient Egyptians
Better shooting point
There is a platform in a corner on the second floor of the museum, which is a better position for shooting the panorama of the solar boat
