Ancient Egyptian pharaoh's boat is being reassembled in public at the Grand Egyptian Museum

A boat belonging to an Egyptian pharaoh is being assembled in full view at the Grand Egyptian Museum’s exhibition hall. The assembly of the 42-meter (137-foot) -long vessel, which sits next to its already-assembled twin that has been on display, is expected to take around four years, according to Issa Zeidan, head of restoration at the Grand Egyptian Museum. King Khufu ruled ancient Egypt more than 4,500 years ago and built the Great Pyramid of Giza.
