[QUOTE]Originally posted by DD'eDeN: [QB] Egyptian ships: rowing vs sailing, night vs day 2.1 Henet-ship and Shabet-ship The first important observation is that, in the ship scenes of the private tombs of the early Old Kingdom, a differentiation between two different ship types is possible. One type encompasses wooden ships with a prow bearing the head of a hedgehog twisted backwards,32 this ship is called Henet.33 The other type is made up of wooden vessels whose hull imitates that of marsh ships built from papyrus stems,34 this type of ship is named Shabet.35 Both designations are documented starting from the early Fourth Dynasty, that is, from the time of Khufu and Djedefra.36 The main particularities of the hedgehog-headed Henet-ship and the Shabetship can be easily discovered through examples of both vessels from the tomb of Seneb in Giza, which is probably to be dated in the early Fourth Dynasty.37 In this early Giza tomb both ships are shown in a single relief field on the south wall of the southern outer post of the false door. In the top register, a Shabet-ship is being rowed; the inscription says: hnt m Sibt, "rowing in a Shabet-ship". In the lower register, the representation of a Henet sailboat with a prow in the shape of the turned-back head of a hedgehog can be found. Its action is designated by the inscription as fijt tlw m hnt, "sailing in a Henetboat" (fig. 3). 32 V. 40 The implications connected with the Henet- and Shabet-ships shall be discussed by the author in a study under the title "Day and Night as represented in the Reliefs of the Old K i n g d o m " [forthcoming]. http://archiv.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/propylaeumdok/1499/1/Altenmueller_Funerary_boats_2002.pdf - - - Any link to the difference between mongolu(mother/moon night dome hut) and kupharigolu(father/sun-fire Day bowl boat)? Note -phari- = ferry = pharaoh-perro-pulq(boatsled) hound Diagram 1: Convoy of sailing and rowing ships in a file. [b]The diagram makes it clear that, in principle, the position of the individual ships within the sequence, whether sailing or rowing, does' not change. From there, the only conclusion is that in both cases a kind of ferrying motion is achieved[/b], a perpetual to and fro between two destinations. [/QB][/QUOTE]
