Kom Aushim

Kom Aushim (Karanis)

Kom Aushim, or Karanis is a place in the Faiyum country of the Nile, dating to the Middle Kingdom. The kings of the Twelfth Dynasty (1991-1783  B.C.E.) applied the field for royal retreats. However, no memorials from that dynasty are recognizable now. Kom Aushim was likely Letopolis, a cult center of Horus, named Hem by the Egyptians.
