Elbo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Elbo was apparently a man-made island of ash and Earth where the blind Egyptian king Anysis lived during his 50 years of exile while the Ethiopian king Sabacos ruled Egypt. Supposedly, the island was built up because Egyptians who were bringing food to Anysis were also told to bring him ashes as a gift[1].
