Sun Boats In 1954 at the base of the Great Pyramid of Giza, Egypt, Egyptian archaeologist Kamal Al-Malakh discovered two roofed pits at the base of the southern pyramid of Khufu. At the bottom of one of them was found a dismantled vessel beautifully carved of cedar wood. The number of parts of the boat was 1224, none of which was missing. Including five pairs of paddles, two steering fins and a compartment.

The first sun boat was reconstructed and reached a length of 42 meters, and it was called the sun boat and it was also called Khufu's ship. It is known that funeral ships were used in ancient Egypt to go to restore life from the holy sites of the ships of the spirit of the gods. And the legend of Ra relates that he would be a child from his sunrise (Khubri), then a full-fledged man at noon (Ra), rise up old in the evening (Atum); He rides two boats - according to the creed of the pharaohs - which are the boats of Ra, which is the disk of the sun.

The sun’s daily journey in the sky inspired the myths that incorporated Ra into the sun, as texts describe the sunrise on the distant eastern shore where a band of monkeys greeted him as soon as he appeared above the water. If these animals were awakened and dance in joy for the rising of the sun, the monkeys were also sacred to the ancient Egyptians. After that, Re rides his day ship, which sails with him across the sky until evening. Then he moves from his day ship to the night ship that sails with him in the underworld, before sunrise again on a new day. Legends and stories about the voyage of the sun and the sun's boats were as in the belief of the ancient Egyptians. And the sun worship spread, in particular, in northern Egypt during the reign of Pharaoh Khufu. And the pharaohs began to call themselves Ibn Ra since the era of Khafre. The era of the pyramids builders and this solar kinship remained in the royal titles until the end of Egyptian Pharaonic history. And in Heliopolis, it was the main seat of the worship of Ra, where he headed the ninth holy person named Atum. Ra presided over the official group of deities in the north of the country during the Fifth Dynasty. In the south, the worship of Amun prevailed, and with time they were united in the worship of Ra. When Amenhotep the Fourth, during the Eighteenth Dynasty, ascended the throne of Egypt, he thought that the disk of the sun would be the only god, and he called it Aton, and left the worship of Amun-Ra. He changed his personal name to Akhenaten and invited to worship Aten; And he built the city of Akhetaten to move away from the priests of Amun who are in Thebes, and a symbol of his god Aton with the disc of the sun calling for monotheism
