What is Heliopolis (ancient)?
'''Heliopolis''' was one of the oldest cities of [[Egypt]]. Its name also refers (in European languages) to a modern [[suburb]] of [[Cairo]]. The ancient city stood five miles east of the [[Nile]] north of the apex of the [[river delta]]. The modern city of Heliopolis is in a different place. In ancient times it was the main city of [[sun]]-worship. This was also where the Heliopolitan version of [[Egyptian mythology]] was created. {{history-stub}} [[Category:Ancient Egyptian cities]]
