What type of boats did the Egyptians use to cross the Nile?

Answer 1

They used there boats to get across the Red sea and the Metterianian sea and Mesopotamian sea lots because if they din't there were a lot of crocodilies so who would ever go without a boat would either get whipped out over strong currents or be attacked by the crocodiles

Answer 2

Boats are used for travelling on the Nile River. Boats are also used for taking stones to the pyramid building site when the Ancient Egyptians are building a pyramid by travelling across the Nile River.

Answer 3

There is no single modern name to describe all the many types of boats and ships built by the ancient Egyptians. You may be thinking of the word felucca, used to describe modern Arabic sailing vessels - but that name also applies to many types of modern sailing boat used all round the Mediterranean.

In hieroglyphs, various types of ancient Egyptian river craft were called:

• dpt (a ship)
• imw (a ship)
• xmntyw (a ship)
• shrt (a ship)
• kbnt (a seagoing ship)
• mXnt (a ferry boat)
• sHyt (a boat with a cabin)
• sktw (a boat)
• mrt (a boat)
• mk (a boat)

Since hieroglyphs did not record any vowels we can never know how any of these words were said.
