This kind of Chinese fir has tough wood, fine grain, strong corrosion resistance and fragrance. It is a first-class shipbuilding material.
The model is based on the solar boat found next to the pyramid of Khufu, the fourth Pharaoh of ancient Egypt, combined with the principle of modern mechanical transmission,
The sun boat was found in a stone pit on the south side of the Khufu pyramid in Egypt. It is a fir boat about 40 meters long. It has a history of more than 4600 years. It is known as the oldest ship in the world. It is now placed in the Egyptian sun Boat Museums. What is this sun boat for? Although archaeologists have studied and speculated, it is still an unsolved mystery.
Khufu is the fourth Pharaoh of ancient Egypt, with high power. His mausoleum is the largest pyramid in the world. In May 1954, archaeologists excavated two solar boats made of fir in a stone pit on the south side of Khufu pyramid, one of which is about 43 meters long and has a history of more than 4600 years.
At the time of discovery, the ancient ship made of 1224 wooden boards was disassembled into 650 parts and placed neatly and orderly in the stone pit according to the ship’s position. Most of these blocks are Lebanese fir, with a maximum length of 23 meters and a minimum length of less than 10 cm.
This kind of Chinese fir has tough wood, fine grain, strong corrosion resistance and fragrance. It is a first-class shipbuilding material. Although iron tools have been used in the Khufu era, the ship does not need an iron nail, but about 4000 holes in all boards are pierced by 5kg palm rope, which blocks the cracks by relying on the principle of wood expansion and palm rope contraction in case of water.
The restoration of the sun ship took 11 years and was not completed until 1968. The wooden boat has high head and tail, streamlined and beautiful shape. Now it has been successfully copied and placed in the Egyptian sun Museums.
Although the sun boat is made of wood and only 40 meters, imagine that in ancient Egypt more than 4000 years ago, this shipbuilding technology was very advanced. If you carefully study it, you will find that there is no iron nail on the ship. It is very surprising that it is composed of palm rope pierced holes.
The shape of the sun boat has a full ancient Egyptian style. Its bow and stern are symmetrical, high and streamlined. It looks like a straw sandal made of Nile reeds and a water boat in China.
You may wonder how such a beautiful wooden boat was made with the backward technology at that time? Why did it appear in the pyramid mausoleum? Although scientists have studied these mysteries, they still have different opinions and have not obtained an accurate answer. In particular, many people have put forward different views on what the sun ship does.
What does the sun boat do
When the Egyptian solar boat was found, it was scattered in the stone pit, and it took experts 11 years to assemble it. Looking at such a beautiful wooden ship, people can’t help asking what does the sun ship do?
