Summary[edit]

Description
English: Map of Ancient Egypt — place names can include Egyptian, Classical Greek, Biblical, Coptic, Modern local, and Modern European names.
  • An illustration from the Encyclopaedia Biblica, a 1903 publication which is now in the public domain.
  • Map 4 for Encyclopaedia Biblica article "Egypt", with Egypt in detail.
Note
  • It would be helpful if an editor could add colour to the map (specifically, the oceans, rivers, and lakes), to clarify it/ improve the aesthetic.

INDEX TO NAMES

  • Article references refer to Encyclopaedia Biblica articles (this has not been proofread or formatted—if you wish to make any corrections / formatting, please do so).
  • Parenthesis indicating articles that refer to the place names are in certain cases added to non-biblical names having no biblical equivalent.
  • The alphabetical arrangement usually ignores prefixes : 'Ain' (spring); 'Bakhr' (sea); 'Bir' (well); 'el' (the); 'Gal'. J. ('Jebel', mt.); Kh. ('Khirbet', 'ruin'); L. (lake); 'Medinet' (town); Mt., N. ('Nakr', river); R. (river); 'Ras' (promontory); 'Tell' (mound); and W. ('wadi', valley).
