不久前，埃及把位于开罗郊外金字塔群的太阳船搬到了即将对外开放的大埃及博物馆，这引起了大家的关注。
人们对金字塔耳熟能详，却对太阳船不太了解。
其实，太阳船原本就在最大的金字塔旁边。
人们参观金字塔时，也会对这艘太阳船感到震撼。
整艘船都被放在一个用玻璃材料封起来的密闭空间里。
而这座庞大的玻璃建筑，是埃及政府于1982年出资建立，意大利人帮忙设计的太阳船博物馆。
它防腐、防污染、防辐射，内部的温度和湿度全由电脑控制。
这艘太阳船已经有4500多年的历史了。
它由1220多块木板制成，非常坚固，防腐能力也超强。
整艘船没有使用一根铁钉，漂亮的形状让人们震惊。
这可能是世界上最大、最古老、最完整的船，如果放入水中，今天依然可以航行。
这不仅是埃及的骄傲，也是全人类的骄傲。
