Nefertiti: La Barque Solaire

Nefertiti - La Barque Solaire is included in Plato magazine No. 31. La Barque Solaire is the French name for the Khufu ship. This is an intact full-size vessel from Ancient Egypt that was sealed into a pit in the Giza pyramid complex at the foot of the Great Pyramid of Giza around 2500 BC. The ship was almost certainly built for Khufu (King Cheops), the second pharaoh of the Fourth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom of Egypt.
