吉萨太阳船博物馆

在胡夫太阳船博物馆扬帆起航

埃及遍布着可追溯至古埃及时代的古老寺庙、遗址、陵墓和历史遗迹。所有这些都见证着这个文明的辉煌成就和远见卓识。胡夫太阳船博物馆,又称太阳船博物馆,是埃及考古学中一颗鲜为人知的瑰宝。

胡夫太阳船博物馆不仅收藏了标志性的胡夫之船,而且在胡夫金字塔旁占据着独特的位置,而胡夫金字塔是吉萨三座金字塔中规模最大的一座。虽然胡夫太阳船博物馆是一个独立的博物馆,门票价格低廉,但其规模、历史和重建故事绝对值得一游。

古埃及的太阳船

古埃及人使用雪松木建造巨大的太阳船。在法老时代,它们被用于宗教仪式。多年来,历史学家和考古学家一直在争论这些太阳船的确切历史名称和用途。另一方面,这些太阳船很可能是为国王及其皇室成员的葬礼仪式而设计的。

胡夫船舶博物馆

胡夫国王驾崩后,他的遗体被制成木乃伊,祭司们将他的遗体放在这艘太阳船中,前往赫利奥波利斯和其他城市,最后抵达他在吉萨的皇家墓地。太阳船博物馆建于1985年左右,用于收藏胡夫国王驾崩后被制成木乃伊的太阳船。祭司们随后将太阳船拆解成小块,埋葬在金字塔附近,并命名为“胡夫之船”。

胡夫船博物馆位置

博物馆位于吉萨高原,靠近胡夫金字塔,距离开罗市中心仅 30 分钟车程。胡夫船博物馆位于吉萨三座金字塔的入口处,如有需要,可提供导游陪同前往入口和金字塔内部参观。

胡夫船博物馆设有一个小型展厅,展出的展品包括重新组装的胡夫船、胡夫太阳船模型,以及记录胡夫船重新组装和发现过程的照片。博物馆的三层结构和建造方法使游客能够从各个角度欣赏胡夫太阳船的全貌。

太阳船迁移

埃及文物协会已同意在过去几年中开展一项保护和维护吉萨太阳船博物馆的项目。

据埃及最高文物委员会主席扎希·哈瓦斯介绍,世界各地的博物馆都设有狭小的窗户,以防止有害的阳光照射。而太阳船博物馆的独特之处在于,它只有一个展品——太阳船本身,而且博物馆的全景视角是由大型玻璃板构成的,这使得太阳船暴露在各种可能对其造成损害的因素之下。

正因如此,埃及当局坚持将太阳船从吉萨金字塔附近的原址迁移到吉萨雷玛雅广场附近的埃及古物博物馆。在联合国教科文组织的协助下,这一阶段得以完成。

胡夫之船

据扎希·哈瓦斯介绍,迁移太阳船的原因是它曾遭受过各种污染。此外,如果太阳船被纳入新的埃及古物大博物馆,它的价值和意义将会更加重大。据哈瓦斯介绍,新埃及古物大博物馆将为这艘太阳帆专门建造一个巨型展厅。

这无疑将凸显太阳帆的重要性,它被认为是少数现存的古埃及建筑典范之一。

太阳船是如何被发现的?

1954年,胡夫太阳船的发现纯属意外,却又令人感到意外。这艘太阳船是卡迈勒·埃尔-马拉赫重新发现的两艘太阳船之一,也是世界上现存最古老的完整船只,可追溯到公元前2500年左右的第四王朝,为法老胡夫建造。在清理大金字塔期间,这艘太阳船在吉萨地区的考古发掘中被发现。

胡夫太阳船

在挖掘到一堵巨大的石灰岩墙的最底部后,发现了42块岩石碎片。胡夫太阳船最终被发现,但它已碎成数千块。

这艘船是在胡夫金字塔附近的五个坑中发现的,由埃及首席修复师艾哈迈德·优素福·穆斯塔法精心用1200块雪松木重新组装而成。他耗时14年,积累了修复这艘船昔日辉煌所需的专业知识。

我们走访了开罗老城、埃尔马迪和亚历山大的造船厂,观察了造船工人的工作,并研究了墓壁上的古代铭文以及墓穴中许多较小的船模。据信这艘船是由一千多块木头制成的,用梧桐木桩和半草绳固定在一起。

胡夫船的用途

在古埃及历史上,类似胡夫船的船只被用于各种用途,其中之一就是在尼罗河上运送建筑材料。胡夫船的具体用途尚不清楚,但它通常被归类为“太阳驳船”。传统上,这类器皿被用来行不道德之事。

古埃及人相信,他们将复活的国王抬到鹰头太阳神拉那里。据信,胡夫之船曾被已故的古埃及国王用作陪葬驳船,将他的遗体从孟菲斯运送到他在吉萨的长眠之地。另一种假设是,胡夫之船曾作为大法老的私人朝圣船。这艘船有接触过水或在水中使用过的迹象,这一事实为这两种假设提供了依据。

关于埃及伊斯梅利亚省,有很多非常有趣的事情值得了解。有些人访问了埃及,并学到了很多东西。
