Overview

In 1 954, the beautifully preserved timbers of a 43.m (1 43.97') funerary vessel were discovered stacked in a limestone pit carved from the bedrock beside the Great Pyramid at.Giza, Egypt. Dated by cartouche to the Fourth Dynasty reigns of Khufu- (Cheops) and his son Djedefre some 4,500 years ago, most of the details of this historie discovery and the work that followed have, remained unknown. The material published in this retrospective is based primarily on just

100 hours of recorded conversation with Hag Ahmed Youssef Moustafa, retired Chief of Restoration and Khufu Ship Restorer for the Egyptian Antiquities Service (known hereafter as the Service).
