Feluccas
long ago transcended their role as humble transports. They held
the ancient empire together, carrying troops, decrees, and the
very mystery of the pharaoh.
Royal
feluccas bore a larger-than-life image of the pharaoh, seated
on a throne, to be seen and venerated by inhabitants even along
the most remote canal. In turn, imbued with the same "ka,"
or spirit, as the living pharaoh himself, it would keep watch
over his subjects and their activities.
So
integral was the Nile felucca to the ancient Egyptian way of
life that it assumed legendary attributes. Even today, you can
see the oldest known Nile felucca, the regal pharaonic dahabeah
of Cheops, the ruler immortalized by the Great Pyramid at
Giza. Known as the Solar Boat, it was believed to sail
through the skies carrying its royal passenger along sunbeams
in his single cabin, the royal suite of its day.
In
later times, pashas, emirs, and sultans found that feluccas
were indispensable. When Napoleon invaded Egypt, the
Mameluke rulers observed the Battle of the Pyramids from their
dahabeahs, and in the wake of defeat, set them afire, still
laden with treasures, in the middle of the river. Always one
to adapt to local practice, Napoleon even had his own dahabeah,
the " Italie", which was used by his officers
to explore Upper Egypt
