Believed to be at least 4,500 years old, the Khufu ship is attributed to the 4th Dynasty of the Old Kingdom of Ancient Egypt. It is made of Lebanon cedar with rope lashings and measures 43.4 × 5.9 × 1.78 m (142 × 19 × 5.83 ft). This artifact is now housed at the Grand Egyptian Museum in Giza, Egypt. It was discovered in 1954 at the Giza pyramid complex by Kamal el-Mallakh and reconstructed from 1,224 pieces by the Egyptian Department of Antiquities. Special thanks: Olaf Tausch, CC BY 3.0 (first
