During the Ice Age and for a few centuries following, the Wadi el Arish (Nahal Misraim also known as the “Brook of Egypt” biblically) was a perennial stream with a watershed which drained much of northern Sinai into the Mediterranean, at its mouth the town of Arish built after the Ice Age, later become known as Rhinocorura, so named circa 550 b. c. by the Ethiopian king Actisanes who noted the practice of the Egyptians to cut-off the noses of those being criminally punished there.
