Explore a Pharaoh's Boat
Museum
Inside this building at the foot of the Great Pyramid at Giza stands
one of the most magnificent ancient artifacts ever discovered. It
was buried in the 26th century B.C., very carefully, in a carved
stone pit directly beneath the museum where it now rests. The
artifact was interred in honor of Khufu, the pharaoh who built the
Great Pyramid, by his son and successor Djedefre. For four and a
half millennia, it lay undisturbed in its limestone sarcophagus.
