An ancient Egyptian boat takes shape

Set beneath the Great Pyramid at Giza, the book centers on the construction of a vessel intended to carry Pharaoh Cheops along a winding waterway. Its subject brings together ancient Egyptian shipbuilding, the skilled workers behind a monumental project, and the boat’s journey beyond its original purpose. The description presents this as a story of both building and rebuilding, linking a specific feat of craftsmanship to a wider historical setting.

Book overview

With poetic language and striking illustrations, Weitzman tells the story of how one of the greatest boats of ancient Egypt came to be built-and built again.

In the shadow of the Great Pyramid at Giza, the most skilled shipwrights in all of Egypt are building an enormous vessel that will transport Cheops, the mighty pharaoh, across the winding waterway and into a new world. Pharaoh's boat will be a wonder to behold, and well prepared for the voyage ahead. But no one, not even the Egyptian king himself, could have imagined just where the journey of Pharaoh's boat would ultimately lead.
