Banha (Egyptian Arabic : بنها [ˈbænhæ] Coptic : ⲡⲁⲛⲁϩⲟ , Coptic pronunciation: [ˈpɑnɑho] Qalyubiyya Governorate in north-eastern Egypt . Between the capital of Cairo and the city of Tanta , Banha is an important transport hub, as rail lines from Cairo to various cities in the Nile Delta pass through it and Benha it's a part of The Greater Cairo . Banha was founded as a city in 1850.
Etymology
[ edit ]
The city's modern name derives from Banaho (Coptic : ⲡⲁⲛⲁϩⲟ ) from Per neha (Ancient Egyptian : pr-nha ), which means 'House of Sycamore (Coptic : ⲛⲟⲩϩⲓ )'.[4]
Geography
[ edit ]
It is located 48 km (30 miles) north of Cairo . located on the east bank of the Damietta Branch of the Nile River in the rich farmland of the southern part of the river's delta. Banha is a major junction in the rail network that radiates north from Cairo and it has the 6th biggest train station in Egypt.
The north of Benha is the site of one of several ancient cities called Athribis , the capital of the tenth nome (province) of Lower Egypt in about 1500 BC. The site has never been systematically investigated by archaeologists. Over the years, peasants digging in the area have uncovered a large hoard of silver.
Athribis was the center of worship of the black bull and enjoyed the most popularity during the Roman period of rule in Egypt. Not much still stands of this ancient capital except some remains from the 18th to the 26th Dynasties. Though not a popular tourist destination, there are such sites here as a Greco-Roman cemetery and silver ingots discovered at the Athribis site currently on display at the Egyptian Museum.
About 20 km (12 mi ) southwest of Banha is Tall al Yahudiya, the site of Leontopolis , famed for its glazed tiles in ancient times. Population is around 2,479,347 (2005) and total area is 16.105 km 2
