In 1954, a disassembled ship was found buried in a pit by the side of the Great Pyramid. The boat was apparently a ceremonial craft to help Khufu in his afterlife. Khufu may also have used it on the Nile to visit religious places during his life.
For a decade following its discovery, the boat was carefully reassembled. Now, there is a museum right by the Great Pyramid that houses the boat and other artifacts unearthed along with it. Here are my pictures from the Khufu Ship Museum.
