Al-Hamuli

REGISTERED: Yes

    The site was visited by Grenfell and Hunt in the early 1900's, who reported remains of a Graeco-Roman village much destroyed by sebakhin. The most significant remains on the site is the Monastery of the Archangel Michael, now in ruins. The so-called Hamuli manuscripts were unearthed in 1910 by peasants and date to the years 823-914.

 

In the 1960's, the ruins of the monastery were still described as extensive. The site is now completely lost and covered with a modern village and agricultural fields.
