What appears to be that supposedly 'human-dug lake', the "Moeris", shows up on Google Earth as a huge cultivated area in the middle of the desert. And the "Birket-el-O/Qerun" still appears (with much the same shape) as a water-filled lake.

Now -- is "a little ways above the Moeris" -- to the north? ...or to the south -- UPstream on the Nile?

Wooops! I just did a Google Earth search for "Black Pyramid, Egypt". It's ~21 miles NE of the north edge of the Moeris depression -- but there are definitely large, complex structure remains between the pyramid remnants and the Nile valley escarpment! Be back when I've done some image post-processing...
