EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable model of one of the pharaohs' boats, discovered within the tomb of Tutankhamun. Dating back to the New Kingdom era, specifically between 1370 and 52 BC, this wooden masterpiece was crafted by skilled artisans from the Egyptian 18th Dynasty. Measuring an impressive length of 118 cm, this exquisite model is now housed in the Egyptian National Museum in Cairo. It offers us a glimpse into ancient Egypt's rich history and their beliefs surrounding death and afterlife. The boat itself holds great significance as it symbolizes the mystic pilgrimage that kings undertook after their passing. The attention to detail is truly awe-inspiring; every element has been meticulously carved with precision. The cabin takes on the form of a shrine, highlighting its sacred purpose during these spiritual journeys. From intricately designed sails to carefully crafted oars and ropes, each component adds depth and authenticity to this extraordinary artifact. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness not only a stunning piece of art but also an important part of Egypt's cultural heritage. This photograph allows us to appreciate both the craftsmanship involved in creating such intricate models and gain insight into ancient rituals associated with pharaohs' burials.
