[1] Dihmit South is a part of four Middle Kingdom mines discovered east of Lake Nasser in 2014.

The settlement was found with pottery associated with the Twelfth Dynasty of Egypt, as well as hieroglyphic inscriptions, one of which is dated to year 31 of Senusret I.

[3] The mine which Dihmit South was built to protect was used for gold extraction, but may have had a combined purpose of copper production as was done elsewhere during the Middle Kingdom.

The stone was not quarried, but rather harvested as loose rubble from local hillsides.

[4] Dihmit South has been visited by the Wadi el-Hudi Expedition, who is currently studying the archaeology.
