DAMANHUR

This article appears in Volume V07, Page 783 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: DAH-DEM
DAMANHUR , a town of Lower
Egypt
 , 38 M. E.S.E. of
Alexandria
  by rail,
capital
  of the richly-cultivated province of Behera. It is the ancient Timenhor, " town of
Horus
 ," which in Ptolemaictimes was
capital
  of a nome and lay on the Canopic branch of the Nile. Its name and other circumstances imply that
Horus
  (= Apollo) was worshipped there in the same form as at Edfu (Brugsch, Dictionnaire geographique, p. 521), but its Greek name, Hermopolis Parva, should indicate Thoth as the local god. This apparent contradiction is perhaps due to some early misunderstanding that held its ground after the Greeks knew
Egypt
  better. A much frequented
fair
  is held at Damanhur three times a year, and there are several
cotton
  manufactories.
Population
  (1907) 38,752.
