Because the Nile flows the length of the country, boats and ships were the most important means of transport in Egypt since ancient times to the Muslim era. Ships are shown in the tables from the Naqada period (about 4000-3100 BC) and by the end of the Old Kingdom, wooden models of ships were often placed in tombs. These models reflect the many types of boats, the ancient Egyptians designed for different purposes.
Reed rafts were made for hunting in the marshes. Papyrus boats were used by royalty for either daily activities or religious ceremonies. Large wooden boats were used to transport heavy goods and military purposes. During the Greco-Roman era, the Ptolemies built a large navy. Ptolemaic ships were made in a variety of styles known throughout the Hellenistic world. The Barides formed an important type of naval vessels.
