In 1954, a boat (the First Boat) was found in a pit (the Eastern pit) on the south side of the pyramid of Khufu in Giza. And the boat was excavated and is now exhibited in the Boat Museum. The other pit (the Western pit), which was found on the west side at the same time, however, has been untouched for nearly thirty years. In February and September 1987, we, the Egyptian Culture Center of Waseda University carried out research on the south side of the pyramid of Khufu, using the Electromagnetic Wave Scanner, and confirmed the existence of the boat (the Second Boat) in the Western pit. In October of the same year, an international team organized by National Geographic took photographs inside the pit and the figure of the boat was known by us clearly. We received a request from the Egyptian Government to research the Second Boat and started our research in September 1992 with the Egyptian Antiquities Organization. The purpose of this report is to give an outline of our research, which was carried out from September 1992 to August 1993. In the first research (Sep.-Oct. 1992), we cleaned the surface of the cover stones on the pit and measured the pit and the surrouding area. In the second research (Nov. 1992), we checked cracks on the bedrock around the pit. After this, a shelter was built over the pit. In the third research (Dec. 1992-Jan. 1993), we took photographs and took up some samples of the parts of the boat as well as the air inside the pit. These samples were brought to Japan for scientific analysises, and the results were reported to the Egyptian Government. In the forth research (Jul. -Aug. 1993), we met Ahmed Yousef, who used to be a chief of restoration and reconstruction of the First Boat, and he gave us much information about his work. And now we are studying the structure of the First Boat and preparing for excavation of the Second Boat.
