This image shows the remains of an early Christian, Coptic village at Medinet Habu, comprising a number of small rooms in houses built close together.  The town was built in the early centuries AD, then abandoned by the late 7th century.

Du Camp's caption reads: "Medinet Habou, ruins of the village of Papa.  Built of unfired bricks by Christians, around the palace at Medinet Habou; abandoned at the time when the Muselmans conquered Upper Egypt."
