Akhmim (Arabic اخميم) is a town of Upper Egypt, on the right bank of the Nile, 67 mi by river south of Asyut, and 4 mi above Suhaj, on the opposite side of the river where there is railway communication with Cairo and Aswan.
Akhmim was the Egyptian Apu, or Khen-min (in Coptic, Shmin) known to the Greeks as Chemmis or Panopolis, capital of the Chemmite nome of Upper Egypt.
Strabo mentions linen-weaving as an ancient industry of Panopolis, and it is not altogether a coincidence that the cemetery of Akhmim is one of the chief sources of the beautiful textiles of Roman and Coptic age that are brought from Egypt.

The work is quite early, for it was referenced by Clement and likely used by the author of the Apocalypse of Paul; It may even predate the canonical Apocalypse (Revelation) of John.
The book was included in the Muratorian Canon (c.200 C.E.) as well as the Codex Claramontanus.
It is difficult to speculate why it fell out of favor in the orthodox church, except perhaps that it was often associated with the heretical Gospel of Peter.

 The Invisible Basilica: Introduction to the Gnostic Mass
The elitism of most Gnostic systems led to their ultimate extinction in favor of the more populist and militant "orthodox" systems of Christianity, Islam and Zoroastrianism; and many of the original writings of the Gnostics were systematically destroyed.
Some, however, have survived, notably the Corpus Hermeticum, the "Askew Codex," the "Bruce Codex," the "Akhmim Codex" and the Nag Hammadi Library, as well as the extant writings of the Manichaeans and Mandaeans.
In addition to its transmission through literature, the Gnostic current appears to have wound its way through the middle ages in several distinct streams of tradition.

 The New Gnosticism
The Gospel of Mary, which focuses on Mary Magdalene, places her as a leader of the Christian group and pictures her as a favorite of Jesus.
However, although in the translation of the Jesus Seminar’s The Complete Gospels, she and the other disciples are pictured as one in which “the seed of true humanity” exists; the text in the Papyrus Berolinensis 8502 (Akhmim Codex) translates that they are one in which the “Son of Man” exists.
In The Complete Gospels Mary Magdalene tells the other disciples, “Rather let us praise his greatness, for he has joined us together and made us true human beings.” But in the former translation Mary says “but rather, let us praise his greatness, for He has prepared us and made us into Men.”
