Religion
Near Samalut is the Coptic Orthodox Monastery of the Virgin Mary at Gebel el-Teir, an important Christian pilgrimage site. Samalut's church was built by Empress Helena, mother of Constantine the Great, in AD 328, on one of the sites where the Holy Family is believed to have stayed during their flight into Egypt.

gollark: > random musing: obviously if the speed of light was lower, there would be less energy in those sort of reactions. What *other* trickle down effects would it have, though?There's some relation between c and some electromagnetic constants (permittivity and permeability of free space) so you would probably change those too.
gollark: Somewhat relevant point: seriously just use nuclear it's energy dense enough.
gollark: You might have to contend with running out of usable energy in 10^lots years or something, I suppose.
