Sealed into a pit at the foot of the Great Pyramid of Giza, this cedar wood vessel was meticulously built to transport Pharaoh Khufu, also known as Cheops, to the afterlife. The Khufu ship, a significant discovery in the field of archaeology and ancient history, is now displayed at the Khufu Boat Museum in the Giza pyramid complex.
