Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Canopus was an Ancient Egyptian coastal town, located in the Nile Delta. Its site is in the eastern outskirts of modern-day Alexandria, around 25 kilometres from the centre of that city. Canopus stood in the seventh nome, on the western bank at the mouth of the westernmost branch of the River Nile known as the Canopic or Heracleotic branch or -mouth. It was the principal port in Egypt for Greek trade before the foundation of Alexandria.
