Probably the most important factor for the supra-regional importance of the Gebel Asyut al-gharbi in late antiquity and the Middle Ages was the presence of the famous ascetic John of Lykopolis, who settled in the three largest Pharaonic tombs in the 4th century AD and built his hermitage here. Already during his lifetime, but also after his death, his place of activity had become an attraction for pilgrims from all regions of the ancient world. At the same time, other anchorites also settled on the mountain and inhabited older Pharaonic tombs. Inscriptions, graffiti and everyday objects in the surface debris, but also built structures and the remains of two monasteries bear witness to this intensive monastic occupation of the mountain. For the first time, some of these late antique and medieval Christian remains were archaeologically examined in the context of a surface survey and presented here.

在古代晚期和中世纪，Gebel Asyut al-gharbi之所以具有超区域的重要性，最重要的因素可能是著名的苦行僧Lykopolis的John的存在，他在公元4世纪定居在三个最大的法老陵墓中，并在这里建造了他的隐居之所。早在他生前，甚至在他死后，他的活动场所就已经成为吸引来自古代世界各地朝圣者的地方。与此同时，其他的隐修者也定居在山上，居住在更古老的法老陵墓中。铭文，涂鸦和日常用品在表面的碎片，还有建筑结构和两座寺庙的遗迹见证了这种密集的修道院占领山。这是第一次在地面调查的背景下，对这些古代晚期和中世纪基督教遗迹进行考古检查，并在这里展示。
