- Bahr_Yussef abstract "The Bahr Yussef (Arabic: بحر يوسف; \"the waterway of Joseph\") is a canal which connects the Nile River with Fayyum in Egypt. In ancient times, it was known as Mer-Wer (the Great Canal). This project was built at the time of Amenemhat III, who was also known as Moeris (similar to Mer-Wer). The Arabic name refers to the prophet Yusuf, the Quranic counterpart of the Biblical Joseph.In prehistoric times, the canal was a natural offshoot of the Nile which created a lake to the west during high floods. Beginning with the 12th dynasty, the waterway was enlarged and the Fayyum was developed to enlarge Lake Moeris. The canal was built into the natural incline of the valley, creating a channel 15 km long and 5 m deep that sloped into the Fayyum depression. The canal was controlled by the Ha-Uar Dam, which was actually two dams that regulated the flow into the lake and out of the Nile. As the surrounding area changed at about 230 BC, the Bahr Yussef eventually became neglected, leaving most of Lake Moeris to dry up creating the depression that exists today and the modern province of Al Fayyum.The Bahr Yussef still exists today, feeding water northwards into the Birket Qarun, parallel with the Nile.In her novel Dreamers: Legacies of the Ancient River, Christian writer Angela Elwell Hunt supposes the Bahr Yussef was built by the Israelite patriarch Joseph, who in the novel is vizier for Thutmosis III.".
