Why is the discovery of rope made from papyrus significant?
Papyrus plants were common in the Nile river valley, suggesting that shipbuilding may have taken place near the Nile.
But the ships were used in the Red Sea, as the rope would not have been easily accessible there.
Why did it take a long time to find the ship parts at the archeological site?
Because they had to dig through more than 6 meters of sand in some places to uncover the equipment.
Why is the method of using cave deposit limited for large regions?
cave deposite can be inconsistent in distribution.
challenging to obtain complete and spatially extensive information about monsoon patterns in large regions.
How do we know that the ships depicted in the carvings were used in the oceans or seas?
How long did the ship spend in the water?
Planks of wood from the ships showed signs of being infested by shipworms, which are only found in salt water.
Based on the damage caused by shipworms, it is estimated that the ships spent several months in the water
