For the first time ever on any store, we present you The Sun Boat! A true replica of Pharaoh Khufu solar boat. Khufu's ship is one of the oldest, largest and most mystical vessels from ancient Egypt. It was identified as the world's oldest intact ship and has been described as "a masterpiece of woodcraft" that could sail today if put into a lake, or a river. However, the vessel may not have been designed for sailing, as there is no rigging, or for paddling, as there is no room. The history and function of the ship are not precisely known. It is of the type known as a "solar barge", a ritual vessel to carry the resurrected king with the sun god Ra across the heavens. However, it bears some signs of having been used in water, and it is possible that the ship was either a funerary "barge" used to carry the king's embalmed body from Memphis to Giza, or even that Khufu himself used it as a "pilgrimage ship" to visit holy places and that it was then buried for him to use in the afterlife. This rare and unique replica is 100% masterfully handmade in Egypt with the use of high quality Egyptian wood and has been designed carefully to look exactly like the authentic one. Its ideal size and strong structure makes perfect for indoor and outdoor decoration of small, medium and large places. This masterpiece is built to last for eternity and will be passed on to your grandchildren, leaving a great memorable Egyptian gift behind. This exquisite piece of art can also be an astonishing gift for your friends, family, co-workers and beloved ones, on all occasions. ONLY 1 SHIP IS AVAILABLE!
