Amid the golden light of Egypt’s sacred landscape, the preserved Solar Boat of the Pharaohs rests — a vessel meant to carry kings through the heavens. This evocative postcard captures the grandeur and craftsmanship of this ancient relic, believed to have sailed the gods across the skies. You can almost feel the scent of old timber and the awe-struck murmurs of visitors as they gaze upon this astonishing piece of Egyptian history.

Dated 27 November 2004 and posted from Aswan, Egypt, this postcard was lovingly handwritten by Tim and Liz and sent to Mr and Mrs E.F.A. Savage, Croasdale Drive, Parbold, Wigan, Lancashire, WN8 7HR, Great Britain. The cheerful message tells of amazing adventures, mental and physical exhaustion from exploration, and a 3:30 AM departure to Abu Simbel — a snapshot of genuine, heartfelt travel experiences. Measuring approximately 6⅛ x 4⅜ inches, it remains in decent used condition, showing only minor wear consistent with authentic mailed items.

To collect postcards like this is to preserve both the monumental achievements of ancient civilisations and the very human spirit of wonder and discovery that connects us across the centuries. Through them, we celebrate not only the glories of history but also the tender threads of personal memory.
