Tutankhamun’s alabaster ship is an artifact from ancient Egypt. It’s believed to have been crafted during his reign from approximately 1332–1323 BC. It was discovered in 1922 by British archaeologist Howard Carter during the excavation of Tutankhamun’s tomb (KV62) in the Valley of the Kings, near Luxor.
This alabaster boat was found among the many treasures buried with the young pharaoh, intended for his journey in the afterlife.
The ship is currently housed in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.
