Kellis
Ancient Kellis, now known as Ismant el-Kharab (Ismant the ruined), was a village in Upper Egypt during the Roman Period. It was located about east-southeast of present-day Ismant in the Dakhleh Oasis, and about northeast of Mut (more fully Mut el-Kharab), which is the capital of the oasis.〔Wagner, G. and Aravecchia, Nicola. ("Kellis" ), Pleiades (2010).〕 In ancient times, Mut was called Mothis, and thus Kellis was in the Mothite nome.〔("Ismant el-Kharab, ancient Kellis" ), Monash University.〕 ==Structures== The village was long and wide, built almost entirely of mud brick on a low terrace with wadis to the southeast and northwest, and surrounded by fields.〔Knudstad, J. E & R.A. Frey 1999 Kellis, the Archaeological Survey of the Romano-Byzantine Town at Ismant el-Kharab, Reports from the Survey of the Dakhleh Oasis 1977-1987, C.S. Churcher and A.J. Mills eds, pages 95–96, Oxbow Books: Oxford.〕 Small businesses included weaving, handcrafted pottery and blacksmithing. Attractions in Kellis included the Temple of Tutu and three churches; the Small East Church is the oldest known church building in Egypt. The site was occupied from the late Ptolemaic Period, was abandoned sometime after the year 392, and has remained unoccupied since then, except for a time in the 1940s, when some Bedouin camped there.〔Schweitzer, A. 2002 Les parures des cartonnage des momies d’une nécrople d’Ismant el-Kharab, Dakhleh Oasis Project: Preliminary Reports on the 1994-1995 to 1998-1998 Field Seasons, C.A.

Bowen eds., page 270, Oxbow Books: Oxford.〕〔Hope, C.A. 2002 Excavations in the Settlement of Ismant el-Kharab in 1995-1999, Dakhleh Oasis Project: Preliminary Reports on the 1994-1995 to 1998-1998 Field Seasons, C.A. Hope & G.E. Bowen eds., pages 205–206, Oxbow Books: Oxford.〕 Many buildings are buried beneath the sand. The tops of some are visible from the surface; others are hidden, waiting to collapse as an unwary tourist crosses.
