Ancient Egyptians distinguished in many fields. It is the Nile for them, as for us now it is the lifeblood !!
One of their most important works and coexistence in the Nile was the fishing profession in which they distinguished themselves significantly.
It is their beauty and horror that they tried to perpetuate their works through art, and here we see a wonderful wood pattern that we can describe as follows:
In the scene facing us: we see two groups of fishermen here in boats made of papyrus, and between the boats, we see a large net with wooden floats filled with fish and kind between the two boats.
The two men on each boat rowing. Six men hold the net, while another man puts the fish they hunt on the roof of a boat.
This model dates back to the Middle Kingdom era, the period of the twelfth Dynasty (1981-1975 BC) - where it was found in the Miqueter Cemetery in Al-Qurna, Luxor.
There is now the Egyptian Museum in Cairo
