Khufu Boat Panels Transported To Dedicated Exhibition Site In Grand Egyptian Museum

CAIRO, EGYPT - DECEMBER 23: Workers move the Khufu boat planks to the designated display location in the Grand Egyptian Museum as pieces from the second of two Khufu boats, solar barques that were buried alongside the pharaoh Khufu in 2500 BC, are moved to a new dedicated exhibition site at the Grand Egyptian Museum on December 23, 2025 in Cairo, Egypt. The two Khufu ships were discovered in a sealed pit at the Great Pyramid in the 1950s. The first was reconstructed and went on display in the 1980s; the other was in a more dilapidated state and its restoration began more recently. (Footage by Sayed Hassan/Getty Images)
