Asyut

Asyut
   Arabic name for the Egyptian Sauty, Greek Lycopolis, capital of the 13th nome of UpperEgypt. The chief deity of the city was the god Wepwawet. Very little remains of the town, but the tombsof the nomarchs of the First Intermediate Period and the Middle Kingdom have been uncovered. Excavations were performed by a French team in 1903, an Italian expedition in 1905–1913, and British excavators in 1906–1907 and 1922. Ajoint German–Egyptian expedition has been working on tombs in the necropolis since 2003.
