From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Athar an Nabi ( أثر النبي ) is a town in Egypt, about 4 miles (7 km) south of Cairo.[citation needed] Its name is Arabic for "Effect (or Footprints) of the Prophet", but is an altered form of Coptic ϩⲁⲑⲱⲣⲛⲟⲩⲃ (Hathornub), meaning "Golden Hathor",[1] perhaps referring to an Ancient Egyptian cult centre formerly present there.
