Doom Palm in Ancient Egypt

The doom palm, as the date palm in ancient Egypt, grows abundantly throughout all upper Egypt. It is a very pretty tree which, dissimilar its date-bearing sister, spreads out into numerous limbs or branches, making an height of about thirty feet. Its wood is more set than that of the date tree, and was observed to be very working for the building of boats and other uses.
