The Pharaohs in ancient Egypt used big floating boats that looked like covered gondolas to "float" to the afterlife. They did not actually sail down the river to get to the afterlife though, they used the boat as a ritual purpose. After the boat sailed down the river then they would get to the pyramid where they would embalm him. Then finally they would bury him in a coffin that had all the things they would need in their afterlife.
