Photos of Solar Boat Museum

The Solar Ship Museum is located on the south side of the Pyramid of Khufu. It displays a large wooden ship for Pharaoh Khufu to follow the sun god to fly across the sky when he ascended to heaven. It is the most complete and spectacular ancient ship unearthed in the world so far . At present, the museum is protected by a constant temperature system and anti-corrosion technology. To enter the museum, you need to go through security check, and after the security check, you have to put on linen shoe covers to enter. On the 1st floor of the museum, you can see a small model of the solar boat, giving you a preliminary understanding of the overall structure of the boat. Stunning 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 did not use nails at all, and it was made up of thousands of parts made of wood and ropes, which is amazing the manufacturing technology of ancient Egyptians. The best shooting spot is a platform at a corner of the second floor of the museum, which is the best place to take a panoramic view of the solar boat.
