Transportation

Boats were a big part of transportation and trade in Ancient Egypt because of  the Nile river. There were many different boats, but the first ones were made of papyrus reeds. The reeds were bound by papyrus rope, which is made from reed fibers. Later on they were importing lumber from Lebanon to make wooden boats.                                                                                                                                                Egyptians didn't like to travel often because they thought it was better to stay at home. They were afraid that they would die in the harsh conditions of the desert and they wouldn't get a proper burial, leaving them unprepared for the afterlife. Despite this fact they had to travel to get the things they need to survive. When they had to go to the desert they used a camel.
