Akhmim, a city located 470 km/290 miles south of Cairo, opposite Sohag, was in ancient times a center of worship of the fertility god Min, his consort Isis (local variant Aper‐Set), and their child Horus. The settlement developed in Predynastic times upon the eastern bank of the Nile at a strategic bend.
