The
35 model boats found in the Treasury Room of Tutankhamun's tomb
indicate a wide variety in the form and design of actual boats and
ships.
Most
of the models were probably connected with the pilgrimage to Abydos or
one that would take place in the hereafter. Some boats would allow the
deceased to accompany Osiris and Re, others would allow him to travel
and take part in hunting in the marshes.
