| Summary: | Firmly-dated Egyptian boat depictions from the end of the Fifth through the Sixth Dynasty reveal changes to rudders, masts, sails, and hulls on Nile boats. The appearance and disappearance of them in reliefs can aid dating tombs from Djedkare Isesi to Pepy II. Furthermore, there is a complete development of rudders from those without tillers to large rudders with fully-developed tillers secured to stanchions. This, along with a lack of evidence for the tiller outside of Egypt, at least in the eastern Mediterranean region, suggests the tiller was invented and developed in Egypt. |
