The history of Letopolis is refered way ward to the old kingdom of Egyptian civilization.It seems to have been a religious center.
-----quote------
Letopolis , as called by the greeks,was the ancient Egyptian town of Khem.
This has been a centre of worship of the god Horus Khenty-Irty, or Horus Khenty-Khem, one of many local aspects of Horus.In other words as "Horus of Khem " which is inscribed on the South Tomb of the Step Pyramid at Saqqara .It had been the cult place of Horus. Letopolis had been the capital of the 2nd Lower Egyptian Nome whose symbol included the Horus falcon during the Graeco-Roman Period .But except for a few fragments of the ruins nothing have been found at this site.

Do you think that Letopolis could have been a observatory point to watch the Sun make its trek from Abu Ghorab to Heliopolis?
Do you think Letopolis could have been a point to watch Sirius arrive at Heliopolis ever 1506 years and the Egyptians called the place Horus of Khem signifying Sirius rising to mark the beginning of the flood season of the Nile?
Horus=Sirius
