Work to begin on restoration of Khufu's second solar boat...

Post by LivinginLuxor »

After being buried in the sand for 4,500 years, King Khufu’s second solar boat will soon be displayed next to its twin on Egypt's Giza Plateau. I think 'soon' is not the word I'd use!

I might agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong!

"soon" compared to the 4500 years, maybe??

I like to think of them as ' "ships".. Symbolically speaking . :cool:

with all the turmoil, I cant see the reconstruction happening any day soon, then there's the boat shed to build. .
I often wondered why they built a boat shaped "pit" and dump a broken boat in there... A square hole would have sufficed..
Or, was it ever a boat pit ? ? ? ;)
