With poetic language and striking illustrations, David Weitzman chronicles the story of how one of the greatest boats of Ancient Egypt came to be built -- and built again, after a miraculous find at the great pyramid of Giza led to its excavation and reconstruction.
Fascinatingly written and enriched with myriads of meticulous drawings, the book unfolds like a mystery and reveals a tantalizing portrait of this glorious age in Eyptian history.
