In 1954 at the base of the Great Pyramid in Giza, Egypt, Egyptian archaeologist Kamal Al-Malakh discovered two cavedars at the base of the southern Khufu pyramid. At the bottom of one of them was found a disjointed vessel of cedar wood, the number of parts of the vessel was 1224 pieces, of which no part was missing. Including five pairs of paddles and two steering fins and a cabin.
The first solar complex was re-installed to a length of 42 meters. It was called the Sun Boat and was also called Khufu. It is known that the funerary vessels were used in ancient Egypt to go to restore life from holy places to the ships of the Spirit of Goddesses. He is riding a boat - according to the doctrine of the pharaohs - which is the disk of the sun that crosses the day, where it rises in the sky, Then disappears from view at sunset and begins the heavenly journey through the night.
The day-to-day sun journey in the sky illuminated the myths that incorporated Ra into the sun, where the texts describe the sunrise on the far eastern shore where a group of monkeys greet him once he appears above water. If these animals were awakened by the dancing of the sun, the apes were also sacred to the ancient Egyptians. He then rode his day boat sailing through the sky until evening. Then he moves from his day ship to the night ship that sails in the underworld, before his sunrise once again in a new day. The myths and stories about the journey of the sun and the boats of the sun were woven as in the doctrine of ancient Egyptians. The cult of the sun spread especially in northern Egypt during the reign of Pharaoh Khufu; and the Pharaohs began to call themselves the son of Ra since the era of Khafra.

In Heliopolis, it was the headquarters of Ra's worship where he presided over the holy name of Atom. Ra headed the official group of deities in the north of the country during the fifth Dynasty. In the south, the cult of Ammon prevailed, and in time they were united in the worship of Ra. When Amenhotep IV, during the eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt, thought that the disk of the sun was the only God, he called it Aton and left the cult of Amon-Re. And changed his name to Akhenaten and called for the worship of Aton; and he built the city of Ahithatun to depart from the priests of Amon, who are in the good, and a symbol of his God, he called the disk of the sun calling for unification.
