Life Evidence on Earth Planet

Object Data:

Meketre's fishermen divided into two groups are busily at work on

their two papyrus barks manipulated by squatting oarsmen. They
are about to pull in the net stretched between the two boats. The
net, with wooden floaters attached all around the rim is full of fish
and two of the largest have already been hauled up on to one of
the barks. The pleasure boats in back of the fishermen's barks
transport the master alone, or accompanied by his son,
comfortably installed in the cabins.
