CAIRO, EGYPT—Ahram Online reports that the Egyptian-Japanese team recovering Khufu’s second solar boat from a pit near the Great Pyramid of Giza found a unique wooden beam and circular and U-shaped hooks made of metal. “What we can expect for now is that the beam may be the oar holder and the metal pieces may be frames to hold the oars and prevent friction with the boat body,” said Eissa Zidan, director of restoration for the Khufu Second Boat Project. The boat could eventually be reconstructed and put on display with the first solar boat at the new Grand Egyptian Museum. For more, go to "Oldest Egyptian Funerary Boat."
