The boat is not the first of our findings to navigate the waters

The boat is not the first of our findings to navigate the waters. Nun in prehistoric times, people riding across the river with a wooden rod rowed by hand. Very simple. Only then it occurred to build a raft by tying sticks range.
In ancient Egypt even a raft made of reeds. 4000 years BC, they have made a long narrow boat complete with oars to down the Nile.
