Other Egyptologists
Argue against this Theory and consider all boats around the pyramid as funerary boats used to carry the mummy of the dead king from Memphis to burial place at Giza.
By analysis of the mud it seems that the boat of king Cheops had been used in the Nile.
-Others say ……….. believe…………that…………..
All pits around the pyramid contained boats, some of them were used during the funerary procession while others may be solar boats connected with the spirit of the king in the other life [ his journey with the sun god]
From this we understand that this magical Theory must be connected with a magical boat .
