- Abstract
- (en) Within the Egyptian vocabulary related to the Aegean world, the kftjw boat (i.e. “Cretan type” = CTB) is mentioned three times in the documentation during the reigns of Thutmose III and that of his son and successor, Amenhotep II. Nevertheless, its meaning remains controversial. Earlier Egyptologists and Aegeanists scholars interpreted the term either as an indication of the ship’s destination, the origin of its construction or its home port. A reassessment of the textual documentation, however, demonstrates that these ships were built in Egypt, in the Egyptian way, by and for Egyptians.
