Khent-Min, now Akhmim, was an Ancient Egyptian city and the capital of the ninth nome of Upper Egypt. Khent-Min was dedicated to the erect god Min (the Egyptian equivalent of Pan), and the city was one of the chief sources of the beautiful textiles of the Roman and Christian age. After the 13th century AD, the temples of Khent-Min were almost completely dismantled and their material reused in the later Middle Ages, while nothing is left of the town.
