Question
um, well, can you give me info on Isis' boat ceremony, because its for a project (i think is due at the end of this month)and i need an expert source. whenever i google "Isis's boat ceremony" or something like it, i always get nonexistent /incomplete information, or people practicing Isis worship in their backyards.(which is really creepy)so any way, if you could get a picture of the Isis statue on the ceremonial boat, i would be really happy, because I'm going to have to make a model(clay) of the boat and Isis on it, as well as provide information on the ceremony and history of it. thanks!


Answer
Hello Caroline,

The proper name for Egyptian boats is barque.
