Philadelphi Canal (Principia Moderni III Map Game)

The Philadelphi Canal is a canal based on the old Canal of the Pharohs, Necho's Canal, and Darius I's Canal. It is named after Ptolemy II Philadelphus who the canal is named after. The canal uses locks to change the depth and to keep silt out of the canal and to keep the fresh and saltwater from mixing. The Canal is regularly dredged to keep the silt down and is planned to be wideded as ships grow. The Canal follows the route of Darius I's canal as seen on the right.



Use of the Philadelphi Canal
Is governed by the Philadelphi Compact, which states the terms of use for each and every country.
