The City of the Dove.

When mighty Amru went to conquer Egypt be camped on the east bank of the Nile opposite Memphis, that great twenty miles long capital of mud bricks whose western verge was the pyramids and whose mud brick houses have all vanished. Amru crashed the Egyptians and came back to get his camp to move over and occupy Memphis. A dove had built in the folds near the top of his tent Blood batbed Amru, the ruthless, would not let bar be disturbed. A new ( city started about his tents. It grew northward along the Nile. It is today Cairo. Memphis is only a name.
