THE MODERN BOAT
- Very advanced compared to the Egyptian boats
- Made out of aluminum or a form of fiber glass
- Huge vessels to fish.

- Some people still sail on sail boats.
Slide 1&2)Modern day uses of boats are much different then the uses of ancient Egyptian boats, but not all different. The modern use of boats is different because we use boats for entertainment, like tubing, skiing, wake boarding, and kneeboarding. Unlike Egyptian boats modern boats are made put of aluminum or a for, of fiber glass. But don't get me wrong we still make Wooden boats and sail in sail boats, heck we still fish off boats. So their methods of using boats are not extinct, just not used as much. But we now make huge boats for many purposes. Did you know the biggest boat in Egypt was 150ft long nothing compared to so e of our 1503ft long ships.

In the tomb there was over 1200 pieces of the boat, each piece was marked with a symbol that matched with another piece. Which is like the Egyptian instructions today. Also kufu had two cargo boats that were 150ft long that we're able to carry an obelisk.
