"The concentration of Mycenaen pottery at Gurob near the Fayuum (the area just south of Lake Moeris) may reflect one of the final destinations of the imports from Crete and the mainland. It is also possible that some of these women kidnapped from Aegean regions may have ended up weaving textiles at the harem of Gurob. It was also here that Ramesses Hittite bride ended her days." [Roger Matthews & Cornelia Roemer, `Ancient Perspectives on Egypt', UCL 2003, p. 97] The location of Chenoboskion, site of the discovery of a number of leather wrapped Gnostic codices, is right on the opposite shore from Nag Hammadi. [BA, Feb 1961, p. 2-24.] Wadi Hammamat is located east of Luxor. The Dakleh Oasis is located west or NWW of Luxor. For great color images see Ancient Egypt, Jun 2007, p. 48-53.
