Inebu-hedj

[1][2][3][4][5][6] Northern Ancient Egypt was known as mḥw, which means "north".

The Niwt (main city) was Menefer or Memphis (part of modern Mit Rahina).

Every nome was ruled by a nomarch (provincial governor) who answered directly to the king.

Apis, Hathor, Isis, Nefertem, Ptah, Seker, and Sekhmet were among others worshiped as major deities in the nome.

[2][3][4][5][6] As of 2017[update], the area is part of the Cairo Governorate.
