EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a reduced model of a boat from the Tomb of Tutankhamun, dating back to the New Kingdom period in ancient Egypt, approximately between 1347 and 37 BC. Crafted out of wood by skilled artisans from the Egyptian 18th Dynasty, this remarkable artifact measures an impressive length of 126 cm. The boat holds immense historical significance as it is believed to be connected with the pilgrimage undertaken by King Tutankhamun after his demise. Serving as a funerary symbol, possibly made from acacia wood, this meticulously painted vessel was intended for use in the afterlife. Its presence within the tomb suggests its purpose as a votive offering or means of transportation for the pharaoh's journey into eternity. Exquisitely detailed and expertly crafted, this reduced model reflects both artistic finesse and functional design. The paddle-like structures on either side indicate its role as a barge or tugboat used for navigating waterways during ceremonial processions or religious rituals. Preserved at the Egyptian National Museum in Cairo, Egypt, this extraordinary piece offers us a glimpse into ancient Egyptian culture and their beliefs surrounding death and the afterlife. Through this photograph captured by eBoltin Picture Library and made available through Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to witness one of history's most intriguing archaeological discoveries - an enduring testament to human ingenuity and reverence for life beyond mortality.
