"Sun Boat" in Memphis and its Pyramid Mausoleum

There is a "Sun Boat Museum" on the south side of the Great Pyramid. May 1954 There is a Mar exhibition in the Archaeological Museum. The oldest big wooden boat discovered by Mara. During the sand removal operation, he came across a pit with a length of 3 1 m and a depth of 3.5 m, which was covered with limestone and contained the parts of the dismantled ship. After 13 years, a 43-meter-long ship was restored. Its name was Yedofora, and it was the heir of King Khufu. Therefore, it is believed that this ship was buried by Jedofra for its former king Khufu. In ancient Egypt, people believed that the king would become the sun god after his death, and his soul would fly to the sky by boat. Because there are two kinds of solar boats for day and night, there should be another one for King Khufu. 1In February, 987, the expedition team of Waseda University used high-tech means to investigate and confirmed that there was another pit on the west side of the original pit, that is, the second solar boat. In June+10 of the same year, an American scientific research team inserted an optical fiber observer into the pit, further confirming the existence of the ship. 1992, the expedition team of Waseda University successfully completed the hole photography and sawdust sampling of components. The analysis of wood chips shows that the first solar boat used Chinese fir made in Lebanon, and the second solar boat also used basically the same wood. During the 40 years after the discovery of the first solar ship, the mortar peeled off due to the water in into the pit, which made the components poorly preserved and needed to be repaired as soon as possible.
