Ancient Egyptian cities from north to south:
Ancient Tmn-Hor is todays Damanhur, Pr-Banab Djedet is Tell al-Rub, Djane is Tanis city and Pr-Bastet is Tell Basta where the famous cat temple lay in ancient times. There was no Cairo until one thousand years ago, but the capital of different period, Hwt-ka-Ptah (Memphis) was on the west bank and Yunu on the east. Yunu is the temple area called On in the bible and later Heliopolis. To-She is the manmade oasis of Fayoum and Khmunu the capital and temple for Thoth, later the town was called Hermopolis Magna and the city close by is Minia. On the east bank one find remains of Akhetaten, the shortlived but legendary capital of Enchaton. Abedju was the name for the place we today find Abydos temple and Iunet the area for the Hathor temple in Dendera. Waset is the ancient name for Luxor and not the Greek name Thebes. Ta-Sna is Esna, Nekheb El-Kab and Djeba the temple area of Edfu. Further south Nebet or today Kom Ombo and Abu is the ancient name for Aswan. Kemet, "the Black Land" is the ancient name of Egypt while Deshret "the Red Land" was the name for the desert.
