The Khufu ship sealed into a pit next to the Great Pyramid at Giza. Hidden away since around 2500BCE, rediscovered in 1954, reconstructed by Ahmed Youssef Moustafa, put on display in 1982.



A hand-sewn ship.


The display of course includes some of Mr. Moustafa’s tools and a model of the ship from which he worked. I think the original architect would have been proud to see his dream had survived to be reborn 4,482 years later.
