Is this how the Khufu ship might have looked like?The Khufu ship is an intact full-size vessel from Ancient Egypt that was sealed into a pit in the Giza pyramid complex at the foot of the great pyramid of Giza around 2500 BC.The wooden ship is 4,600 years old and was reportedly so well-designed it could still sail if launched back onto the Nile today.Although the exact purpose of the boat remains a mystery, historians believe it was placed inside the pyramid for the pharaoh Khufu, who is buried there.
