Summary
| Description |
Because travel depended on the Nile River, the custom of including model boats in tomb goods began in very ancient times. Boats were thought to be essential to the deceased for their journeys in the afterlife. This is one of several model boats made of gold and silver. This miniature boat was found in the tomb of Queen Ahhotep II at Dra' Abu el-Naga', Upper Egypt by Auguste Mariette in 1859. It is less detailed than other models, since it has only the oarsmen and the helmsman on board. This Votive Barque or Boat is believed to have been donated by the Dynasty 17 king Kamose, the predecessor of king Ahmose I who unified Egypt and founded the powerful New Kingdom of Egypt to his chief queen, Ahhotep II, who is assumed to have been buried at Dra' Abu el-Naga'. In contrast, Queen Ahhotep I is believed to have been buried at Deir el-Bahari. |
