Sister Ship
Tourists visit the ancient Pharaoh king Cheops' first solar boat during their visit to the boat museum at the Pyramids site in Giza, Egypt. Cheops' second solar boat is displayed through a camera put inside the boat which tourists will be able to see for the first time without the pit having to be uncovered again. Solar boats are believed to have been built to take King Cheops to the heavens after his death nearly 5000 years ago. | View a slideshow about the boat here. |
