A 4,600-year-old intact wooden boat bearing the name of Fourth Dynasty Egyptian pharaoh, Khufu, was transported to a new museum about 7 kilometers away from Cairo's Great Pyramid in a 48-hour journey.
, Khufu, was transported to a new museum about 7 kilometers away from Cairo's Great Pyramid in a 48-hour journey that Egypt's antiquities ministry described as a"unique archaeological and engineering project."The boat, measuring 42 meters in length and weighing 20 tons, was transported from the Great Pyramid to the Grand Egyptian Museum in a"metal cage lifted on a smart remote-control vehicle," the antiquities ministry said in a statement.
"The aim of the transportation project is to protect and preserve the biggest and oldest organic artifact made of wood in the history of humanity for the future generations." However, Saturday's procession still looked imposing, with the giant black vehicle decorated with a drawing of the ancient boat and illuminated with fluorescent colors as it roamed through an ancient area housing many of its pharaonic treasures.
