"The Fayûm and Lake Mœris" by Major R. H. Brown is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The book delves into the intricacies of Egypt’s irrigation systems, particularly focusing on the historic region of the Fayûm and the elusive Lake Mœris. It aims to provide a detailed technical analysis of irrigation practices, the geographical, and historical significance of these areas, while exploring past theories and evidence regarding the existence and location of Lake Mœris. At the start of the work, Brown sets the context for his investigation by discussing the changes made to the irrigation system in the Fayûm over the past nine years, highlighting his firsthand experience in the region. He introduces the ancient significance of Lake Mœris and the mysteries surrounding it as reflected through historical accounts, especially those of Herodotus. The opening also outlines the structure of the forthcoming chapters, indicating a methodical approach to exploring the province's modern state, ancient testimonies concerning the lake, and the various theories attempting to ascertain its original location and features. Brown demonstrates a clear intent to contribute valuable insights into an important subject of both practical and historical relevance in Egypt. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
