Large depression (not a true oasis) west of the Nile River containing arable land watered by the flooding of the Nile. Inhabited from the Mesolithic period, the Fayyum contains the earliest evidence of farming in Egypt. The water levels of the Fayyum's lake varied significantly until a land reclamation project during the 12th dynasty implemented artificial water controls. During the Ptolemaic and Roman periods, the Fayyum was administered as the Arsinoite Nome.
