Because it is in Egypt that there is a relative abundance of surviving depictions of such boats with sufficient detail to serve as the basis for a modern replica.
In short, although the Ra Expeditions in several ways reflected Egyptian themes, the project was not specifically Egyptological in nature, but relied on a great deal of ancient Egyptian inspiration to construct and explore the parameters of a model of a kind of ship which sailed the seas in the past.

Though the tradition in ancient Egypt was to honor women and give them legal rights and a remarkable margin of freedom far more than any other contemporaneous civilization, their role in kingship was limited to passing the throne to the next king, not inherit it themselves.
The pharaoh was the son of Ra — the sun god - harboring the divine royal blood of Horus.
"Khent-Kaues" married a Ra priest with no royal blood, and to justify kingship for her sons, she claimed that she was conceived by the god Ra himself, who impersonated their father, both physically and spiritually.
