Solar boats

 Many of us loved the sea, and many of us like to ride boats and ships, but many of us do not know about the attention of the ancient Egyptians the Nile and boats considerable attention to a surprising degree, and many of us have never heard about boats sun especially young people from the present generation in Egypt do not know much about their great not from their own amazing and from their immortal, which impressed the world so I write today's boats sun.

Types of Pharaonic boats

We're still looking into the mysteries of the sun to know boats and I have a function of the ancient Egyptian, and how they were boats used by only a symbolic god of the sun god Ra on a journey night and day, assisted by the stars in sailing and rowing, the god on the trip to clean the world from evil spirits , and therefore revered by the people and give him thanks and recognition offerings. There are other types of vessels known to the ancient Egyptian, including:

First: Boats are religious: - This type of boats used was symbolic of God only, and placed these vessels often holy of Holies inside the temples, the priests carrying the boat and inside the statue of the god to visit the other temples, such as a visit to the Temple of Horus Hathor in dandara " near qena ", or visit the temple of the god Amon of Luxor.

II: funerary boats: This type was used to transport the mummy of King to visit the holy places of the god Osiris, including Abydos " near suhag " in the south and Bhutto in the north, in addition to this type of boat was also used to transport the body of the king from his palace which reside to the cemetery where the pyramid.

III: Boats are mundane: They were used in the Nile to move the granite quarries of Aswan, or alabaster of Hatnub Egypt Central, or limestone from Tura" near giza", or to move the obelisks of the quarries of Aswan to the temples of Luxor and Karnak, In addition to use to transport workers who were digging in the rock to work in building the pyramids, and there are boats traveled across the sea to Byblos (Lebanon) to bring a timber of rice and record the Palermo stone boat, which was sent by King Senefro father of King Khufu to Lebanon to bring this timber, these types of boats registered special on the temples of the Old Temple of the King Saho ra in Abu Seer, in addition to the ships that were used to travel to the south, particularly the land of Punt to bring incense and aromatic oils and gold.

IV: Military boats: used in the modern state and image of the modern state temples especially the Temple of town Habu which depicts the naval battles of King Ramses III last king of Egypt combatants against the peoples of the sea.

Fifth: The boats used by ancient Egyptians in the Nile for a picnic: This boats represented in different forms on the graves, but the story of Khufu, and sorcerers, which refers to the story occurred during the reign of King Bent went out for a walk in the boats in the lake attached to the palace , accompanied by beautiful girls and rowing and sing beautiful songs, and during the rowing earring fell one of them, and the President of the choir was able to evacuate his magic lake water to give her the earring.

VI: The latter type is the boat solar system also boats a symbolic, one for the trip the day called the Ancient Egyptian name Maiz [maengt] and the other for a trip the night dubbed Msktaat (msktt) and this type was used by the god Ra only to sail out and paddling stars and used it here oars animate the years pointed to the killing of animals and evil spirits in the world to eliminate evil and therefore recognizes and thanks the people worship him. And get back to digging in the group funerary boat of King Khufu, where boats were in two holes eastern borders of the temple, devoted to the king as a direct them from the north to the south, where the king as Horus has the power that enables him that runs from north to south. These holes differ completely from the southern drill, and are located next to the temple, where both have actively King, also refers to landscapes represented within them Khors activity on the ground, which means that he confirms his complete control of Upper and Lower Egypt (the south and north ). The third hole which takes the form of a compound is located north of the causeway, I think it is a symbolic center dedicated to the goddess Hathor as it is fixed and written in Papyrus Abu Sir. The southern holes which the timber was found inside them, it has proved from the preceding discussion that they are not funerary but are solar boats. According to Al-Ahram writings that god Ra (khufu) owns two boats used by the gang on the move east and west. Here, the sun shines and revolves around the Earth in two boats from east to west and from west to east and moves from a boat to another at sunrise and sunset.

The sun was sailing westward over the earth's surface, and to the east beneath the surface of the earth has been brought to the boat the night Msktaat (msktt) to the east, west and daytime Maiz (mandt) studies have shown that the boat is a boat discovered the day especially because directed westward, while the other boat, which is located inside the hole the other night and it is a special introduction, heading east. and can be reached to the user of this assumption, which is found in the southern holes design and separated by a wall of rock and is located on the north-south axis of the pyramid . And we will find that the aperture South within the burial chamber of the Pyramid of Khufu, which called the wrong air vent is located directly on the axis that separates the two boat and are a composite of the day and compound the night and the King Khufu in the form of the god Ra to leave a token of this slot to boarding the boat in accordance with the flights that will them.

Papyrus has been confirmed Abu Sir, which was found inside the Temple of the King nefr -eer –Ka-ra a group of the Fifth Dynasty that the presence of timber within the compound slot is very important because the King will ride it after it is collected, and therefore had to be the existence of the timber, has proved Zaki Iskandar to be a composite of Khufu was made next to the hole and then was removed to be placed inside.

It is well known to them that the god Ra will be riding in this boat and he would convey a journey night and day, and will star blasphemy of God and when it encounters a god of any animal is evil during his trip was to get rid of it by oars pointed, because the duty of this God is cleansing the world of evil, and evil spirits, and therefore people estimated that effort and the credit that he made them, as God of God's the greatest. Has puzzled scientists in the interpretation and function composite of King Khufu, since they are studying composite monument stand-alone from the religious aspect only and that it is wrong to be the study of any architectural element, or artifact in any location without examining the surrounding effects, temples, pyramids and views represented by the temple and statues, etc., and this is what we have done, where we did not consider in this study to the boat as a stand-alone for the rest of the group hierarchy, but we interpret all elements of the group as a whole through a single unit, so we managed to get to this results. but it is worth mentioning that the group hierarchy was dedicated to the worship of the trinity of the god Ra the sun god, Horus, and Hathor was worshiped in Memphis and was sitting under the sycamore tree to that known as the (woman sycamore tree) and there evidence of the cult in the necropolis of Giza. and we will find that each of them was to worship God in a particular place within the group hierarchy, and also will find a link to this five boats of the Trinity, and at the same time, we must know that during the fourth family appeared a new religious thought we did not know before, where the King khufu to expel priests of Heliopolis and became the god Ra himself during his lifetime, so the two boats present north and south of the mortuary temple, are the two special boats for King Khufu as horus to simplify his influence and power on southern Egypt.

The boats located on the south of Egypt, and boats are the boats South symbolic sun during the day trip and a trip the night. The fifth boat was a special deities Hathor, which is the Eye of Ra, and the wife of the living king Horus in the same time or the next king.

How was the discovery of these vessels

The inspector, the effects of the pyramids area, Mohammed Zaki Nour, a civil engineer who is the process of cleaning the area of the pyramid is the architect Kamal Mallakh and the supervisor of the cleaning process is Dr. Abdel-Moneim Abu Bakr, after the completion of the cleaning process suddenly appeared the effects of a wall of mud brick and after getting to the bottom of the wall appeared 42 piece of stone divided into two groups between them break a three-meter in a pit of stone, and on May 26, 1954 has been opened nozzle hole that buried the boats of Khufu, tattoo all the smell of cedar wood and if the engineer as for Mallakh holding a mirror reflecting the sun's rays inside the crater to see the great disclosure to be the first of the saw and the first to smell after the burial of five thousand years in the midst of concern of all and not paying attention to the matter in a prefix, has been driving media campaigns by Kamal Mallakh to steal this detection and gain are obtained from the popularity and the interest of the implications about the only to be signed by 15-day penalty to resolve what he did .. Resigned as a civil engineer in the interest of the effects of moving to the press after this scoop. In fact, the detection process was a result of the cleaning area of the pyramid, which began in January 1946 in preparation for the visit of King Abdul-Aziz Al Saud king of Saudi Arabia, where he was schedule to visit the King Abdul Aziz and his companions features the city of Cairo, Giza and Mahalla Anshas, Qaliubiya and the city of Alexandria and the capital, visited the Al-Azhar and Race Club Horse House and the Arab League and the University of Fuad I " father of king farouk " , the building of the armed forces and the foot of the pyramid and specifically visited the Pyramids of Giza to check the parameters of the pharaohs there on January 15, 1946 and was with King of the island during his visit to the Pyramids of Giza, both of King Farouk and Mr. Drayton, director of the Egyptian antiquities and during the wandering to see the monuments there and found great difficulty in turning around the Pyramids of Giza to the presence of a large hill of dirt on the south side of the pyramid and the height of this hill up to 18 meters, this hill was a major impediment to visit each of the pyramid and a private VIP of kings and princes. King Farouk issued a royal command to remove the mound of accumulated dust and clean the area of the Pyramids of Giza and the reign of Drayton to the implementation of this command was monitoring the amounts needed for the cleaning process in the budget of the Egyptian Antiquities Authority on a number of years. Thus, the real beginning of the process of cleaning, which resulted in the discovery of Solar Boats 1946 to have been found on boats in 1954.

Attendance and noted that the compound is located at a distance of 10 meters below the surface of the earth, was able to watch via a camera, he was found inside, for that purpose. Dr. Zahi Hawass, Secretary General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities of Egypt, during a press conference held to mark the way, that «the council had conducted studies on the possibility of transfer of a compound of Khufu to the Grand Egyptian Museum is scheduled to open in 2011». He continued: «When you complete the transfer of the boat to the big museum, will serve as a second piece that is added to the statue of Ramses II, who had been transferred to the museum two years ago». The fine details of a compound discovered in 1957, offered to the public, after the installation of a technical team from the Japanese University of Waseda in Tokyo, a tiny camera inside the hole is located where the boat, without having to open them, and that against the background of the project made by the Japanese side, in order to detect this hole, and restoration of wood composite, and re-installed at a cost of 10 million pounds .. The senses During the press conference, that «the boat was in very bad condition, since its discovery until today, and a team of technicians and archaeologists Egyptian and Japanese, will begin in the restored urgently, after which the transfer of boat I and II to the big museum on the Cairo-Alexandria desert». As the senses that the transfer will take place after completion of the necessary technical studies, supervised by the Egyptian scientist Dr. Farouk El-Baz President Center for Remote Sensing at Boston University. He explained Hawass, said the close cooperation between the Supreme Council of Antiquities in Egypt, and the Department of Egyptology at the University of Waseda headed by Egyptologist Professor Sakoji Yoshimura, allowing installation of the camera inside the hole, to move the contents to the tourists and journalists, and allow the visitors to the area later to the Pyramids in Giza watching boats across the camera, a fee determined in a material particular post. It is noteworthy that the Egyptian Antiquities Organization, before it turns to the «Council Top» had been agreed with the Geographical Society of the U.S. in 1987, the introduction of the camera in the second hole, and if possible shoot contents already, but it turns out the existence of insects on the wood composite disintegrating because of holes, which opened When exposed in 1957. In the mid-nineties at the end of the last century, it was agreed between the Supreme Council of Antiquities with Waseda University, to bring the Japanese integrated scientific team, to get rid of insects and the establishment of the structure of protection over the hole, to protect them from sunlight.
