Apple

The Apple in Ancient Egypt


 * Egyptian Name:**

//Dpht// or //Tebekh//

The apple was imported late in Egyptian history during the reign of the Hyksos, and the fruit was restricted to royalty and the very wealthy. It is recorded that Ramses II planted apple trees in his Delta gardens, and Ramses III offered 848 baskets of apples to the Temple of Hapi.
