Mendes (Ancient Greek: Μένδης, gen.: Μένδητος ), the Greek name of the ancient Egyptian city of Djedet , also known in ancient Egypt as Per - Banebdjedet ("The Domain of the Ram Lord of Djedet ") and Anpet , is known today as Tell El-Ruba ( Arabic : تل الربع ).
Typically, the horned god Banebdjedet was depicted with four rams' heads to represent the four Bas of the sun god. He may also be linked to the first four gods to rule over Egypt (Osiris, Geb, Shu and Ra-Atum), with large granite shrines to each in the Mendes sanctuary.

Thousands of Mendes were taking shelter in huge refugee camps surrounding the cities of Bo and Kenema, and the people living in those camps were organized according to their home chiefdoms, making it possible for Tuchscherer to survey the entire Mende region (about half of Sierra Leone's territory) in a small space and a short period of time.
