Recently, a solar boat to bury the ancient Egyptian pharaoh Khufu has been moved from the vicinity of the Pyramid of Khufu to the Great Egyptian Museum.
The Ministry of Tourism and Cultural Relics said in a statement that the relocation is aimed at "protecting and preserving the largest and oldest wooden crafts in human history for future generations."
The sun boat is about 42 meters long and weighs about 20 tons. It is made of cedar wood. It has a history of more than 4,500 years and is well-preserved.
It is reported that for this relocation, a transport vehicle that can be remotely controlled is purchased from Belgium, and the sun boat is placed in a huge metal box on the transport vehicle.
