Meryt Canal

The Meryt Canal leads from the Nasun River at Kifi Island to Ka Hi Ptah, the center of courtly life in Lenthinar. It is a wide canal used by the pleasure boats of important people.

The canal is opened during the celebration of Fath El Nasun, when the Nasun reaches a depth of 24 feet (14 cubits), as indicated by the nasunometer at Kifi. The canal remains open until the Khamseen in Shemu, after which point the water is so low that the canal is no longer navigable, and court moves south to Niwt-Rst, capitol of the Waset region.
