Abstract

In 1971, Hag Ahmad Youssof Moustafa, former restorer of the First Boat of King Khufu, Ancient Egypt, reported the hieratic inscriptions that were marked on the timbers of the ship by the ancient carpenters. During our research in 1993, he kindly gave us his personal data of all the timbers and in them we find 221 other hieratic inscriptions that were not yet reported. It is concluded that 138 inscriptions out of 221 are the numbering marks constituted of the phyle marks, numbers and additional marks, and indicate the original position of the timbers on which the inscriptions were marked.
