Cynopolis

Cynopolis is an fictional Ancient Egyptian town located in western Egypt. The majority of the town has been buried by sand for several millenia. It is a rarely visited town with most of its underground tombs and tunnels blocked off. In the next sixty years, it is predicted that the entire town will be subsided by sand. It is the closet town to the pyramids of Sef.

Background
Cynopolis was home to the Cynopolians, an Ancient Egyptian civilization. It was founded in 3091 BC by Anwar Rassul and was home to over several thousand Egyptians. The town mostly specialized in crop growing and became a major provider of grain for the Egyptian empire. It was a relatively quiet and peaceful town that slowly attracted more individuals to reside there. Travellers also used it as a resting place for their journeys.

The population peaked at around 4,934 by 2902 BC. In the year of 3012 BC, the settlers there witnessed two foreign objects in the sky. They would identify them as small asteroids presumably passing the Earth.
