Egypt's epic 4,600-year-old pharaonic boat moved to new grand museum

Staff members work inside a steel cage in which King Khufu's solar boat is placed at the Grand Egyptian Museum in Giza, Egypt, on Aug. 10, 2021. Egyptian officials highlighted on Tuesday the recent successful transportation of a huge fragile 4,600-year-old pharaonic boat from an old museum to the new Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) nearly 10 km away. The 42-meter-long and 20-tonne solar boat was discovered in 1954 beside the Great Pyramid of Giza that belonged to King Khufu. (Xinhua/Ahmed Gomaa)
