		This inference is supported by the discovery near Syria's Adonis River of an axehead of Khufu (2551-2558) or Sahure that is inscribed with the name of a crew of lumberjacks or a ship's crew (MacDonald 1972: 75-6).

	Antiquity, Reviews: Blue Review September 2003
		The description of the construction of the Dashur boats, for example, is thoroughly comprehensive, to the extent that comparisons are drawn between the construction of this vessel and Khufu I, some five hundred years its senior, that imply a degree of continuity rarely commented upon.
		Three introductory chapters outline not only the practicalities of woodworking and boat and ship construction, but also the contexts in which these vessels should be viewed (from the prevailing winds and currents of the Nile, to trade, tribute and an obsession with the afterlife).
		Since the excavation in 1894 of the Dashur boats this knowledge has been supplemented by spectacular archaeological discoveries of ships and boats.

		It is speculated that the ship was either a funerary barge used to carry the king's embalmed body from Memphis to Giza, or that Cheops himself used it as a pilgrimage boat to visit holy places and that it was buried for his use in the afterlife.
		The oldest, largest, and best-preserved vessel from antiquity, the Cheops ship was found accidentally during the course of a clearance excavation at the Great Pyramid at Giza in 1954.
		According to one investigator, the boat's timbers "looked as hard and as new as if they had been placed there but a year ago." The boat was almost certainly built for Cheops (Khufu), the second pharaoh of the Fourth Dynasty of the Egyptian Old Kingdom.
