"And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time."



 The reconstructed "solar barge" of Khufu
The Khufu ship is an intact full-size vessel from Ancient Egypt that was sealed into a pit in the Giza pyramid complex at the foot of the Great Pyramid of Giza around 2,500 BC. The ship was almost certainly built for Khufu (King Cheops), the second pharaoh of the Fourth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom of Egypt.

 The boat known as The Khufu ship. It measures 43.6 m (143 ft) long and 5.9 m (19.5 ft) wide. Khufu, or King Cheops, was the second Pharoah of Egypt in the 4th Dynasty of the Old Kingdom. It was one of two ships rediscovered by Kamal el-Mallakh in 1954. The ship was placed at the foot of the Great Pyramid in Giza around 2500 BC and is now housed in The Khufu Boat Museum next to the Great Pyramid.

Khufu ship

The reconstructed "solar barge" of Khufu
The Khufu ship is an intact full-size vessel from Ancient Egypt that was sealed into a pit in the Giza pyramid complex at the foot of the Great Pyramid of Giza around 2,500 BC. The ship was almost certainly built for Khufu (King Cheops), the second pharaoh of the Fourth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom of Egypt.

History
It is one of the oldest, largest, and best-preserved vessels from antiquity. It measures 43.6 m overall.
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 water.[1]
The ship was rediscovered in 1954 by Kamal el-Mallakh, undisturbed since it was sealed into a pit carved out of the Giza bedrock. It was built largely of cedar planking in the "shell-first" construction technique and has been reconstructed from more than 1,200 pieces which had been laid in a logical, disassembled order in the pit beside the pyramid.[2] It took years for the boat to be painstakingly reassembled, primarily by the Egyptian Department of Antiquities’ chief restorer, Ahmed Youssef Moustafa (later known as Hag Ahmed Youssef).[3]
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.
The Khufu ship has been on display to the public in a specially built museum at the Giza pyramid complex since 1982.
