The answer is: railroads

The canal boom ended when it became apparent in the 1830s and 1840s that most of the waterways were unprofitable.

A dramatic advance in transportation in the 1800s was the arrival of railroads. Thus, compared to canals, railroads cost less to build and could more easily scale hills. Besides, trains moved faster than ships and carried more weight.

Explanation:

For a government official such as nebamun it must have been an enjoyable sport for him to come up with such explicit and sophisticated paintings. It shows he was not just an Egyptian scribe but also a good painter.

The paintings exhibit a relatively high level of artistry, particularly evident in the hair, feathers and skin effects for example, the animals and birds

The ancient but vibrant paintings proved to be a rich source for representation of Egyptian culture. In the absence of factual evidence about how Egyptian houses were decorated, tomb paintings were known to give an air of authenticity to paintings purporting to depict scenes from ancient Egyptian domestic or working life.
