Letopolis

Letopolis, known in ancient Egyptian as Khem, was a significant city in Lower Egypt and the capital of the second nome. It served as a religious center dedicated to the worship of Khenty-irty or Khenty-khem, a form of the god Horus. While its origins trace back to the Old Kingdom, where it was already a site of worship, the only remaining archaeological evidence comes from the Late Period. During this time, notable pharaohs such as Necho II and Psamtik II contributed to the construction of a temple dedicated to its deity. Today, the remains of Letopolis can be found at Ausim, reflecting its historical importance as a religious and administrative hub in ancient Egypt.
