These houses endured the fire and were improved by it. The knowledge contained within them, of various sciences, remained beneficial and dispersed. It is said that the king, after this, also ordered other houses to be built for him of stone, and that all the sciences he deemed necessary should be inscribed within them. He said, "If the world is destroyed by water, the houses built of mud will dissolve, but the stone houses, with their contents of knowledge, will not be harmed by water." When the flood came and covered the earth with water, those houses built of mud dissolved, but the stone houses, with their knowledge, remained. They are still standing today, and there are many ruins of them. Among them are "Yeria Asaa," "Yeria Dandara," and "Yeria Ahmm," which is the most magnificent in its construction and most beautiful in its designs. For in this house are depicted various forms of animals, some crafts and their artisans, and a collection of writings and other sciences. This structure, called "Yeria Ho," is located in the city of Akhmim, in its center, as we have mentioned, on the west bank of the Nile. Further on, there is a bay called "Al-Manha," and a city called Ramakher. It is a city with beautiful buildings, abundant gardens, and plentiful water, containing various fruits and grains. It is beautiful and pleasant in itself. From it, to the west, is a canal that leads to Jabal Al-Halaybun, about 5 miles away. This canal comes from the west, passing through Tarf, and meets the Nile and its waters. It flows into it with great force, and from it emerges a strong current that prevents boats ascending from Egypt to Aswan and elsewhere, because the flow of the canal and the force of its current prevent ascent. The people of Ramakher say that on this canal, the sorceress Ba'ali resided in Egypt. Nothing remains of her now but a trace.
