The Ancient Egyptian Townsite-city-region (hieroglyph) is Gardiner sign listed no. O49 for the intersection of a town's streets. In some Egyptian hieroglyphs books it is called a City Plan.〔Betrò, 1995. ''Hieroglyphics: The Writings of Ancient Egypt'', ''"City Plan"'', p. 190.〕 It is used in Egyptian hieroglyphs as a determinative in the names of town or city placenames. Also, as an ideogram in the Egyptian word "city", ''niwt''. From the photos in WikiCommons, can be seen the variety of styles of the ''"intersection-form"'' of the hieroglyph. ==Origin and history== Betrò's modern Egyptian book, ''Hieroglyphics: The Writings of Ancient Egypt'' uses the "crossroads", "intersection" hieroglyph with the name of ''City Plan''. The oldest use of placenames is from the original cosmetic palettes of the early years of Ancient Egypt. The Narmer Palette has a bull with a broken-open fortress (hieroglyph) enclosure. Betrò uses the Libyan Palette as her extensive explanation of the ''City Plan''. The Libyan Palette contains seven cities, fortress-protected; the seven cities are identified inside an approximate–circular–enclosure with iconography, with some signs to become hieroglyphs, and similarly identified ''externally'' with the similar hieroglyphic iconography, also to be used as hieroglyphs.
