- "Beni Hasan (also written as Bani Hasan, or also Beni-Hassan) (Arabic: بني حسن) is an ancient Egyptian cemetery site. It is located approximately 20 kilometers (12 mi) to the south of modern-day Minya in the region known as Middle Egypt, the area between Asyut and Memphis.:120
While there are some Old Kingdom burials at the site, it was primarily used during the Middle Kingdom, spanning the 21st to 17th centuries BCE (Middle Bronze Age).:8
To the south of the cemetery is a temple constructed by Hatshepsut and Thutmose III, dedicated to the local goddess Pakhet.:128 It is known as the Cave of Artemis, because the Greeks identified Pakhet with Artemis, and the temple is subterranean." - (en.wikipedia.org 22.09.2020) - Latitude
