	Description:		Another wonderful programme from Brandon Huebner. This episode focuses mainly on the pre-dynastic depictions of papyrus boats, wooden boats, the earliest depictions of the sail, and several rock petroglyphs that are quite significant to historical interpretations. Then, Brandon considers a theory that has connected ancient Egypt with ancient Mesopotamia. He concludes by looking at a magnificent discovery at Abydos where some of the oldest wooden planked boats to have ever been found were buried in their own graves in the Egyptian desert. It's a great episode, and it's only scratching the surface of what you'll encounter as Brandon explores and explains maritime history in ancient Egypt.
