Inside Lisht
2 recorded places within the site, from their own records.
What this means
A place listed here names this site as its whole or its location in its own record; the build reads that from the place’s end, so the row is computed rather than stated by the site. It does not imply that the site as a whole was a place of worship, that its parts were in use at the same time, or that these are all the places it held.
Site history & evidence
What is documented here
Each kind of evidence on its own row, because they do not add up.
| Evidence | On record | What it shows |
|---|---|---|
| Site date | None recorded | The import holds no date for the site itself. |
| Location | Recorded to the site On the atlas | A coordinate for the place. It locates the site; it does not draw its extent. |
| Dated activity | None recorded | A pin is a place, not an event. What happened at Lisht, and when, is a separate claim, and this import holds none: it carries site locations, not dated activity. |

What this means
Computed from coordinates, not stated by any source. Nearness is geometry, not a connection: two sites a kilometre apart may never have shared a worshipper, a tradition or a century. Where either coordinate is recorded only to a district, the distance is rounded and says “about”.
