EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Ethel Davies in 2007, showcases the Boat Museum at the base of the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt. The museum houses the reconstructed solar boat, believed to have been built for the Pharaoh Khufu around 2500 BC. The solar boat is an essential discovery, as it provides valuable insights into ancient Egyptian transportation and their complex burial rituals for their deceased rulers. The image captures the essence of the museum, with the colorful boats resting on the water, reflecting the clear blue sky above. The boats, adorned with intricate carvings and designs, are a testament to the advanced boat-building techniques of the ancient Egyptians. The museum's viewing platform in the background offers a perfect vantage point for visitors to take in the stunning beauty of the boats and the Great Pyramid. The photograph also highlights the contrast between the ancient and modern worlds. In the foreground, a lone figure, possibly a museum guide or worker, adds a sense of scale and context to the scene. The presence of a modern fruit cart nearby serves as a reminder of the passage of time and the enduring allure of Egypt's rich history. This photograph, taken in the 21st century, offers a unique perspective on Egypt's ancient past, allowing us to appreciate the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the Egyptians and their solar boats that were used for transporting the Pharaohs in their afterlife journey. The Boat Museum at Giza is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in ancient history and the wonders of Egypt.
