Sci & Tech Chronology: In the year 2450 bce

Transportation

Egyptian Pharaoh Sahure orders for his pyramid a representation of the fleet he had built to ferry troops to the Levant coast. This is the earliest known depiction of seagoing ships that has been preserved and the earliest recorded use of ships for military purposes. Ships were undoubtedly used in war earlier even though we have no record of it. See also 2500 bce Transportation; 1450 bce Transportation.
