Inside one of the Great Pyramid chambers, modern historians uncovered a coffer, a tiny box for storing goods. At first sight, this appeared to be a common object, similar to many others discovered on the site. A closer look revealed that the coffer would not have fit through the pyramid’s entry route once it was finished. Was the massive structure constructed around it? Even as it appeared that progress was being made in uncovering the secrets of the pyramids, new doubts arose. These questions would not be able to be answered until a new mind-boggling discovery was made.

The finding of the coffer was not the only thing that added to the enigma surrounding the pyramids. In 1954, an archaeologist named Kamal el-Mallakh and his crew uncovered the remnants of a watercraft thought to be Pharaoh Khufu’s. A detailed examination revealed that the watercraft may have played a role in the construction of the pyramids. Nobody knew what its specific job was, or if it ever took a voyage down the Nile.
