I was in Cairo in the early 80's and spent a few days in the Museum there. I loved the myth of the Cheops boat . It was known as the state boat of the sun god in which the sun was thought to traverse the sky. It was also thought to to carry the soul of the dead king daily across the sky.<p>This hieroglyph is as close as I could come to anything closely resembling that myth. I saw this as a worship ritual of the sun. A stretch, I know, but it satisfied me.<p>The tablet measures 11" long x 7 1/4" wide and is 1/2"' thick. All of the measurements are inexact as the tablet is not perfect in shape.<p>I hope this tablet will bring you pleasure for decades as it has me.<p>Your offer is Welcome <p>
