	Al Fayyum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Having an area of 490 mile² (1,270 km²), Al Fayyum is an oasis and a distinctive region in character between the main Nile Valley and other desert oases: its fields are watered by a channel of the Nile, the Bahr Yussef, as it drains into a desert depression to the west of the Nile Valley.
		The Bahr Yussef veers west through a narrow neck of land north of Ihnasya, between the archaeological sites of Lahun and Gurob; it then branches out, providing rich agricultural land in the Fayyum basin, draining into the Fayyum lake, freshwater in prehistory, but now a large saltwater lake.
		Differing from the typical oasis, whose fertility depends on water obtained from springs, the cultivated land in the Fayyum is formed of Nile mud brought down by the Bahr Yusuf.

	Oxyrhynchus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The town was named after the Oxyrhynchus, a fish of the Nile river (sometimes identified with the Nile carp or Lepidotus) which is important in Egyptian mythology as the fish ate the penis of Osiris.
		Oxyrhynchus is about 160km south-south-west of Cairo, and lies west of the main course of the Nile, on the Bahr Yusuf (Canal of Joseph), a branch of the Nile that terminates in Lake Moeris and the Fayum oasis.
		But it is believed that the city had many public buildings, including a theater which could seat eleven thousand spectators, a hippodrome, four public baths, a gymnasium, which was an important center of cultural life during the Hellenistic and Roman periods, and two small ports on the Bahr Yusuf canal.

		Essa è alimentata da un canale, il Bahr Yusuf, proveniente dal Nilo.
		In età molto antica, quando le piene del fiume erano più abbondanti, il Bahr Yusuf e il Fayum seguivano, in linea di massima, il regime del Nilo.
		Il sito di Eracleopoli è sulla riva destra del Bahr Yusuf, vicino al villaggio di Ihnasya el Medina e vi si trovano resti del tempio di Herishef (o nella trascrizone greca Harsaphes), dio locale a testa di ariete, identificato con Eracle in epoca classica.

		MOERIS, LAKE OF, the lake which formerly filled the deep depression of the Fayum to the Nile level, now shrunken and sunk more than 200 ft. to the shallow Birket el Kerfln.
		In remote prehistoric times the Fayum depression was probably dry, but with the gradual rise of the river bed the high Nile reached a level at which it could enter through the natural or artificial channel now known as the Bahr Yusuf.
		The borders of the lake were occupied by a neolithic people, and the town of Crocodilopolis grew up very early on the eastern slope south of the channel, where the higher ground formed a ridge in the lake.

		The waters of the Bahr Yusef are distributed throughout the oasis from Medinet, the capital of the Faiyum.

		Osiris had a son with Nephtys --- Anubis, whose town Kynopolis lay between the Nile and the Bahr Yusuf.
		Seth was so angry at the return of Osiris that he dismembered his body and scattered the pieces over the land --- a symbol of the sandstorms which blow over the river, cut off its many branches and allow its water to stagnate in swamps.

		The Fayum receives water through the Bahr Yusuf, a branch of the Nile river.
		By building sluices and damms the Egyptians had already regulated the watersupply in Pharaonic times, but it was Ptolemy II Philadelphos (reigned 285-246 BCE) who actually undertook the development of the whole region on a larger scale.
